Hello guys, my name is Michael, i'm from Brazil and i'm kinda new in the forum. (sorry for the bad english)
Recently i was playing UR Delver and was having a lot of fun, but i noticied that my post sideboard plan was pretty shi*ty.
Thinking on this i started serching for new decks for our insect. (I don't have Tamorgoyfs and don't want to, so, no RUG)
Since then, i was thinking on what other colour could replace Red, then i get the idea of a UW Delver (a.k.a UW Fish), inspired on SOM/M12/ISD T2 decklists.
Whoa, this is a great idea! White have the best removals of Legacy (STP/PTE), the most feared CC2 drop (Stoneforge Mystic) and gives you access to Geist of Saint Traft, a Hexproof beater that can easly put life totals to 0 in 3-4 turns, besides of the excelent sideboard cards.
Then you ask: "Why not add a third color to our list?" -MANABASE.
It's all about the manabase. With the field full of wastelands, a deck that can go the basics plan have a advantage for sure, and our colours offers all that we can ask for.
Then, let's go to the list:
4 Flooded Strand
4 Island
2 Plains
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Tundra
3 Snapcaster Mage
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Geist of Saint Traft
4 Force of Will
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Daze
4 Path to Exile
1 Batterskull
1 Umezawa's Jitte
2 Spell Pierce
3 Spell Snare
Card Choices:
Delver of Secrets : The name-sake of the deck. A mana eficient beater (U 3/2 flying). Must.
Stoneforge Mystic : The best White 2CC drop on the format. A turn 2 Stoneforge into Batterskull with backup can end games pretty quickly.
Snapcaster Mage : Do you like your spells? How about playing them again from your GY? Snapcaster is the best 2CC in blue (or can i say in the game?).
Geist of Saint Traft : A powerhouse against nowdays field, replete of Abrupt Decays, Lightning Bolts, and Swords to Plowshares. It's our Ace in the hole.
Brainstorm : needs explanation? Must.
Ponder : with delver on deck, we need a lot of cantrips.
Spell Pierce : Our all-star couter, that can save you from that Entreat the Angels or an JTMS.
Spell Snare : Counters Bob (Dark Confidant), enemy Stoneforge Mystic, Snapcaster Mage and Tamorgoyfs. Don't know why people stopped playing this.
Force of Will : An evil needed while combo it's out there.
Daze : The psychological counter. Our best response on that turn 1 removal from enemy. Must.
Path to Exile : As we are at a Tempo strategy, we can't let our enemy gain life, and PTE is our best removal after Swords to Plowshares.
Batterskull : The best target for Stoneforge Mystic. When this stick on the table, you are in a very good spot.
Umezawa's Jitte : With so many efficent creatures, our beloved Betrayers of Kamigawa's equipment can't be left out.
Similar lists have done pretty well out there:
