I'd been eyeing Derevi from afar since she was spoiled for C2013. I'd been looking for a more interesting aggro commander who'd reward turning creatures sideways but didn't feel like the kind of WR blunt force trauma deck that loses to wraths or a token deck that just explodes. Derevi fit that bill, and when she took down BoM with a monstrous prison-tempo thing that looked like Edric only meaner I basically fell in love.

And then fell out of love when every boring person built the same boring deck and then this happened: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/548821-statistical-average-deck-for-the-40-most-popular

There is only one Derevi deck, and it is powerful, complex, skill-rewarding, fun and I don't want to play it again for at least two years.

The solution came to me in a dream, because I am weird enough that I dream about Magic: Slivers. I would build a sliver deck like none of them I've seen around. It would run non-sliver cards that weren't tribal jank! It would be less than five colors! It wouldn't just die on the spot to wraths! I would try to port counter-sliver over to EDH!

Now, I've built that deck. And while it wins, I'm still not sure that I've correctly built a deck that wants to win by turning non-token creatures sideways in a reasonable timeframe. So I'm posting this here to try and put it over the top.
