My next build is this, but -1 Pierce, +1 Goyf, and probably cutting a Charm for a second Disfigure. Charm seems marginally worse against the X/2's. I was also looking at just playing 3 Digs instead...

Don't fuckin' go there man. I may not climb back up from that hole...

Darkblast isn't good against that deck at all. It kills an Unflipped Delver and THAT'S IT. They can protect Swiftspear, and generate value from Pyromancer anyway. Swiftspear and Aberration is a 2-1,...

You can only do the Upkeep -> Draw Darkblast trick if they are tapped out and you expect zero interaction. Or else you are just straight dead. It's 2-mana and 2 cards to deal with one threat, and...

Yeah, my current list is on a single Bayou, with a single Liliana in the board as my BB. I have had room to test Counterspell, and people have beenhaving success with True-Name Nemesis. I'm not sure...

I actually wanted to mention this. Dig Through Time is obviously the stronger card, but also costs twice a much mana. We are effectively a low-curved, aggressive midrange deck. We generate mana...

-4 Daze
+1 Needle
+1 Null Rod
+1 Clique
+1 Force

That would be my advice. Daze is really bad. They will play around it in the early game and won't need to late. It's done it's job by simply...

So I was jamming this in a few games yesterday. It was practically goldfishing against a BR... Something reanimator. It wasn't a Blue deck, anyway. Looks strange, plays stranger.

Creatures: 12
4...

Because TNN is a better Tarmogoyf if your deck is skewed towards making it almost as easy to cast.

I think Water BUG is supposed to be a Blue-skewed version?

I disagree with basically everything foolofatook has done, except maybe Dig. In the version I'm looking at, I might try Dig over Cruise....

Darkblastwooooo.

For the purposes of all of these; it's only good against a pre-flipped Delver, unless you want to skip your Draw Step to get your Spell Countered.

UR Delver: I assume most...

Any reasons for that? It's pretty back against the mirror, the partial mirror - both BUG X and X Delver - UW Control, Lands, Storm, and Show and Tell. It's good against Elves and DnT. Anything I'm...

However, you can cast Pyro/Hydro with no 'real' targets at the end of a turn, untap and Delve it away if you really need to.

Unless you're against Reanimator or Dredge, I'd rather have Sea up with DRS. I have Ux for Spellcasting, and can burn them if need be. You rarely have either the opportunity, or the need to Exile a...

You know that it's basically impossible to hold up UU without also holding up basically any other combination in this deck, right? Sea, Sea, Bayou, which would be a rare Fetch in this version, would...

With only a single Bayou and DRS, I'd rather just play Counterspell. Christ, Mana Leak is better than Negate. Because who the fuck is playing around Mana Leak anyway?

Rebuilt from the ground up:

Permanents: 12
4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Delver of Secrets
1 Scavenging Ooze
3 Tarmogoyf

Spells: 28
4 Brainstorm

I have literally never tries to play Mind Sculptor in this deck. And Jace costs 4-mana, whereas Cruise just requires cards as an input. On 7 cards you can miss land drops, but casting Ponders, and...

Treasure Cruise seems to punish mulligans really heavily. (Guess whay my testing session consisted of...)

Stifle, Wasteland, and Hymn all keep your opponent on the early game, though. There is no midgame when your opponent isn't able to get past the second/third turn properly. You cast waste a lot of...

I've been more in on the Cruise plan as of recent, too. I'm going to be cutting back to the Discard + Countermagic nonbo deck that somehow works, and jamming Liliana and Cruises. Ever since I decided...

You realise that Fetches, aside from how they work with Courser, are crap in Standard, right? Worse than Checklands in 90% of situations.

That aside: Shaman does work against Delve. If we land an...

Is there room for cutting the TNN's and a Stifle for a Thoughtseize, then? Does that look like a deck to you?

My current deck:

Permanents: 15
4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Delver of Secrets
1 Sylvan Library
4 Tarmogoyf
2 True-Name Nemesis

Spells: 25

Can we stop discussing why someone might want a deck that you consider bad but has performed well? When Rogues was first suggested and I had no way of playing a real deck I tested it out, alongside...
