I'm not saying I completely disagree with you as I haven't testing to determine if a stifle build or hymn build is better in terms of BUG Delver running TC. However, I think you're over emphasizing how dead hymn can be. If pretty much every Delver deck is going to run TC, Hymn will actually be less dead than usual since people will still have cards in hand going into the late game with everyone reloading with TC. From what testing I've done Hymn actually helps you fight oppossing TC's without running narrow graveyard hate. Whether the stifle build or the tapout hymn build is better at running treasure cruise, more testing and tournament results will be needed for that so I'll leave that to the future to decide.
