Deveri is typically a Stack/Prison deck. That is not the point here. I have 2 cheap, softer slowdowns; Marble Titan and Dream Tides. As for the deck, this is a blending of Looters and Landfall. Sindbad and his counterpart are not always a draw, but many times when activated you wanted that land and anything else was not going to help anyways. With Derevi, you can tap or uptap. Stack some triggers and filter through the deck. You will notice a bunch of 1cmc unlockables, it operates on the Edric- principle. You want to have 2-3 bodies on the board when your Commander comes out.

How to finish? Splinterfright, Bonehoard, Psychosis Crawler and Spirit Cairn/Wharfside Infiltrator. Players can still interact, if needed there are ways to slowdown the board by tapping down bodies and holding behind the Titan or Tide. I especially like tapping out precombat, hitting a few triggers, untapping Looters and passing. Because your Commander and token armies can be summoned at instant speed, letting you dodge full board wipes with careful play. Notice some of the nonbasics make tokens. This was build to be able to fight grind heavy matches. But cannot beat Norn and co.

Keep hands with more lands and no gas, over fewer lands and too much gas This has a good amount of looting and your Commander is cheap. But without the lands, nothing will take off.

Upgrading Mostly getting better, more expensive cards work. This deck can always use a Thassa, Edric, Sedborn Muse, etc. Bident of Thassa is an easy swap for Deepfathom Skulker

Manabase wants untapped lands so it can drop bodies every turn for T1-4 so whatever gets upgraded, look towards untapped

Gilded Lotus is infinite Mana with Deadeye + Derevi. Add in Mistmeadow Witch and make another engine.
