Went 3-3, winning against Titan Shift, Hollow One, and BW Planeswalkers/homebrew. Lost to Serum Powder Eldrazi, Eldrazi and Taxes, and Jeskai Control.

Deck was solid, I went to 3 games in all of...

Entering this deck at a tournament this Saturday, May 5th. List is the same as above, it's been doing very well. Flex slots are the Spell Pierce, Boros Charm, and the VClique maindeck (but all of...

I'm back on Delver, it's just too good to pass up. Getting a threat in under opposing mid-range decks and having counterspells open has been very good. I don't think I need the Ajani in the...

Hmmm... I'm not sure I want another 2 mana counterspell, and I'm committed to Deprive. I could drop some number of Deprive for Logic Knot, but I've always been happy with Deprive, even in multiples....

Updating my list on here, I've been messing around with this quite a bit. I was really enjoying Young Pyromancer maindeck and Geist in the board for a while...but now that Jund is big and bad again I...

Ghostly Prison out...Anger of the Gods back in. It's been a little better.

I have also switched from 3x Geist/1x VClique main to 4x Young Pyromancer main and sideboarding the legendaries. So far...

Ghostly Prison has been great, definitely sticking with that card.

I really like the ghostly prison idea, going to try that first.

Should I even bother with a lower-level wiper like Pyroclasm/Anger of the Gods? Anger seems quite good, probably more feasible than Verdict, and like PI said I can slow it down with burn spells and...

Thanks for the replies gentlemen!

1) does supreme verdict cost too much at 4 for an 18 land deck? Seems a bit out of reach.
2) ghostly prison seems solid, buys me all kinds of time. I like it....

I've got a Modern 1k coming up in May, so plenty of time to test the shit out of this deck. I have added the 2nd Forked Bolt and the Clique maindeck. I definitely wanted another threat maindeck and...

Going to test another copy of Forked Bolt in the maindeck, it seems very good. Cutting a Boros Charm for it. It also looks like UR agro (prowess) is getting a little more popular. I played the...

I tend to agree with you. The extra lands don't matter too much, not when the counterspells are essentially hard counters. I think I'll test 1x Goblin Guide to go along with the 2x Grim Lavamancers....

Saw this list, playing Mantis Rider (which seems *quite* good.) I still don't like Swiftspear in a non-Lava Spike deck, but I can see what he was trying to do. It's definitely closer to a delver agro...

Nice, thanks!

Mage is for combo decks and big mana decks like Tron. I usually name stuff like Gifts, Karn, Primeval Titan, Collected Company. Fair-ish matchups I think he's a bit of a liability,...

Made some minor changes, mostly to the sideboard, but I am really liking the current setup. I was really at a loss for what to sideboard for Tron/Eldrazi. I waffled back and forth on Spreading...

I was simply looking for mana efficiency. Young Pyromancer seems to be my best bet. At this point in my experience YP has performed better than Swiftspear. I may just maindeck a Vendilion Clique as...

What about Serra Avenger? Seems pretty good actually. Another 3 powered flyer for cheap, and the vigilance isn't bad at all.

New list for testing:

4x Delver
3x Geist of Saint Traft
2x Grim Lavamancer
3x Snapcaster Mage
2x Young Pyromancer

4x Serum Visions
3x Opt

I was thinking maybe 2x young pyro. It's awkward; I really want a t1 threat and then leave disruption up t2. Yp would be a t3 play, for the sake of value and timing, and that's when i want to land a...

Did some reading on that old thread, agree on mentor.

How do you feel about young pyro in the current meta? Soulfire grandmaster?

Nice thoughts, thanks. I did forget the forked bolt!

I did drop Peek (mentioned above) and I do agree that 4 paths is too many. That's an easy spot for another Opt.

I had swiftspear, it was...

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on this deck a lot lately after watching some videos of Caleb Durward piloting the deck. I think this is about as close to a pure tempo deck as modern can get....
