Here's my take on a Derevi Token Deck.

Im playing in a casual enviroment, where we don't allow infinite combos, so I will not include cards like (Intruder Alarm) and also not unfun cards like Winter Orb and Hokori, Dust Drinker.

Deck Goal's

My Deck tries to abuse Derevi's untap ability to generate a giant mass of tokens, draw lots of cards and abuse unfair effects like Lux Cannon, Grindclock etc.,to tap its way to victory!

Token Producers

The best token producers in this deck are cards that generate token's by taping them: Squirrel Nest, Spawning Grounds, Myr Turbine, Acorn Catapult, Thraben Doomsayer, Leafdrake Roost etc.

But also goodstuff token producers like Myr Battlesphere, Avenger of Zendikar, Increasing Devotion, Chasm Skulker, Nomads' Assembly, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Flurry of Wings and many more are included. As this is a token deck I also play Parallel Lives and Anointed Procession.

Abusing tap effects

There are lot's of cards that can be abused with Derevi's abilty. I settled on a steal subtheme and lots of card draw.Noticeable cards are Arcanis the Omnipotent, Azami, Lady of Scrolls,Djinn of Infinite Deceits, Beguiler of Wills, Murkfiend Liege (which also helps greatly with my token army), Lux Cannon, Grimoire of the Dead, Grindclock, Oracle's Vault, Arbiter of the Ideal, Howling Mine (more effects would be appreciated)

Evasion and Attack-Value

Derevi's ability only triggers on dealing combat damage to a player, so the deck has to ensure that my creature's get through the defensive lines : Champion of Lambholt, Aven Wind Guide, Wonder, card: Archtype of Imagination, Bow of Nylea ,Glare of Subdual, Reconnaissance.

As we are already slinging combat-damage triggers left and right why not profit from them?: Bident of Thassa, Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Druids' Repository

(more cards in this category would be great! Is there something like a Sharding Sphinx for every creature?).

Winning

Win conditions are the typical token pumpers : Craterhoof Behemoth, Beastmaster Ascension ,Murkfiend Liege, Mirror Entity, True Conviction (which also doubles my Derevi triggers!) etc. and Grindclock also is a win condition.

Deck Help

This deck sometimes feels a bit to inconsistent (sometimes it does nothing for many rounds) and can easily be disrupted by removing my token producers. It's not lacking in power when it starts going (it can be really explosive) but getting it going is not a thing I can guarantee with the current build.Anyone has any ideas on what to cut, what to add (Token Producers, Good tap effects...) and how to make the deck more consistent (maybe the deck balance is off?) ? Help would be appreciated (budget is not so important as off now)Thanks in advance :)
