My girlfriend just started playing and wanted to make a "bird deck." I was pretty unhappy with the card pool and commanders associated with straight bird tribal. Derevi, Empyrial Tactician seems like a good commander to jam a bunch of birds and do some broken stuff like untapping a permanent that taps for multiple mana, and locking opponents under Winter Orb effects. Tap effects like Captain Sisay and Squirrel Nest try to maximize the multiple untap triggers. I made sure that Yisan, the Wanderer Bard has something powerful to tutor for at every mana cost.
