I think of Stifle as a reasonable Late-game card actually. Blocking the SFM trigger, the Snap-trigger, a Jace Ult, or even a Liliana-sacrifice is pretty nice. It "feels bad" because your opp got a...

I think stifle is in a good spot right now. I'm running it in my brews and realized it's sort of like DRS 5-8 when it works (due to putting you a turn ahead) I try to fake like I held mana for...
I think the Badlands is specifically there due to Stalker. I personally like stalker a lot, but I can understand that you often need a living DRS or a nice land config to get him. Gurmag is good, but...
I don't think he meant Activations. I think he meant the SFM Search Trigger; which while they got a "2-for-1" off of a squire, they played a squire in Legacy. I agree on the Batterskull as you can...
A lot of it is; part of it is that you're a more Tempo oriented deck fighting a midrange deck with 7+ ramps. Same thing probably happens to you a lot against Maverick if you were fighting it...
I don't main Grixis, but it's my favorite Delver colors by a bit.
RiP can be good if you see Anglers as turning off DRS and Angler is pretty mean. Carpet seems meh, since it's CDA. I could be...
Just to make sure we're on the same page, you realize you can stifle the storm trigger right? As in, if you have a stifle in hand and they don't have a duress or a second therapy, you just win....
Lastly, that's the point of DRS. He's a creature good enough that people want to kill it. Further, they want to kill it in part because they want you to have less mana. Giving yourself less mana in...
You probably haven't, but has anyone ever noticed Shadow Guildmage?
Lavamancer is pretty good, but can compete with Delve-Cards and DRS. SGm may be worth a try for Elves, D&T, and other Delver...
The ability to leave your pressure on the board (and also not reduce your pressure that turn) is a big deal. Deluge can be better in the average case of a grind-fest; but delver is a tempo game....
Is the problem with Tombstalker vs. Gurmag the BB, or is it that he always costs you 2 mana?
My suspicion is that it's the BB; but I wanted to confirm since I'm brewing.
It's odd to say, but Stifle is really a meta call. In this age of Eldrazi, Miracles, and D&T; it's more difficult to get your value out of it. In my meta which is always fairly random, combo heavy,...
On Stifle, I think it's similar to Mindbreak Trap. As another guy who has played against Storm in a variety of decks I can say that when I tried Mindbreak; it was garbage sometimes; but occasionally...
I will say that while Miracles in my area have avoided me or died, I did get to test BBlossom against them and it owns. I haven't gotten to do it enough to know how reliable it is, but my few rounds...
->Darkblast I'd only bring in against Grixis. The others only have 4 targets.
->Submerge, as you said
->Cabal. Never? Maybe it's alright for stripping protection, but I think at that point I'd...
I've had some luck with Angler and K-Com as well. Been having a friend run a DRS/Angler/Delver/sulfur elemental Stifle list I brewed up running a pair of K-Coms as a nod to equipment rather than...
I have a buddy trying this for me:
-13-
4 Deathrite
4 Delver
2 Angler
1 Tasigur
2 Sulfur Elemental
