I like Ghost Quarter more with a Delver deck. You just want more free Stone Rains rather than a grinding tool. Note that Ghost Quarter is often better than Wasteland against something like Shardless...

This is a very old tactic, and it's been largely abandoned because it's ineffective. Do you really want to Shock and Duress yourself in a Delver mirror? How is Surgical any better an answer to...

Those 12 cards have to be highly relevant and irreplaceable for that to work, and that basically only happens against combo, where I'd much rather spend the slot(s) on additional countermagic or...

It depends on exactly how you're set up. Thoughtseize is a pretty reasonable card, and I don't mind Preordain, Forked Bolt, or Probe for more Sorceries. Because getting Goyf to 5/6 is only critical...

I agree that Scour is too high a cost to pay just to support (more) Anglers, but I don't know if a vanilla 4/5 is enough given the prevalence of both Eldrazi and opposing Anglers. If you're going to...

Having tried the Thought Scour build, I really like everything about it but Thought Scour. Snapcaster Mage is great despite costing 3, Angler is great, Spell Pierce is great. I think the Scours just...

I wouldn't be too salty about Enchantress - I've always found its Delver matchups to be between even and favorable.

I think the Goyf version of the deck is better against RUG than the TNN version. You want to play the matchup as much like you're BUG Delver as possible. Deathrite, Goyf, and Decay are huge problems...

I tried my Delver-less list above -1 Deluge, -1 Golgari Charm, -1 Taiga, +1 Counterspell, +1 Forked Bolt, +1 Volcanic Island (and changing the Catacombs to Polluted Delta) online and at my local...

That's ultimately why I went with Tarmogoyf over TNN but decided to go fairly controlling otherwise. I also considered cutting Delvers entirely; the list I put together is below. I've only it on...

Thanks. I agree that Dig pushes BUrG away from Goose + Stifle. Also, I think it's correct to play Delver or Deathrite on turn 1 against combo, including on the draw. ANT can only rarely win on turn 2...

I've been playing a Prague-inspired list lately with some local meta adjustments:

4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Delver of Secrets
3 Tarmogoyf
1 Snapcaster Mage

4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Force of Will

I've gotten a little bored with BUG Delver and am thinking of switching decks. I might just play BUG Control, but this bUrg has also been on my radar. To be direct - why should I play bUrg over BUG?...
