Based on this listing here with a few adjustments: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/chicken-dinner-wip/

Infinite combo deck utilizing Food Chain and one of Eternal Scourge or Misthollow Griffin for infinite creature mana, which is then used to flash in Derevi an arbitrary number of times since you can exile her to Food Chain as well and evade commander tax with her second ability, often being the win condition in multiple different ways.

Food Chain wincons

• Pulling it off with Altar of the Brood in play (mass mill, doesn't need Derevi)
• Pulling it off and using the infinite creature mana for a killer Walking Ballista
• Infinite Derevi Summons with Diligent Excavator in play (probably easier since the creatures that can be cast from exile and and Diligent Excavator are doable Flash + Protean Hulk combos)
• Infinite Derevi summons for infinite mana with untapping lands for an infinitely huge Blue Sun's Zenith
• Infinite Derevi summons with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary in play to find all of your creatures and putting them directly in your hand to set up a wincon

Backup Wincons

• Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience (bonus points if Derevi's untap triggers mill everyone instantly)
• Survival of the Fittest, at first searching Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, then pitching it with Survival of the Fittest immediately for Loyal Retainers, then immediately summoning/sacrificing Loyal Retainers to put Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur on the field. Earlygame this combo is brutal if you can build the requirement.
