Deck Description

I NEVER play standard so pls help me out with this!!

i've made a deck for SWN and Dothewumpus and i'm about to leave on a mission so i guess i'll just make one for each of the 5 people i'm following :) so WnB you're next! and the raggedjoe :)

I made this for youEthan because you're the only person i know ont his website that is actively participating in tourneys and doing well and you're always up to date on standard, unlike me. =p

I'm sure you could improve this so let me know what you think!

i'm debating on switching to a spirit heavy version of this i've been thinking of that includes tower giest and the new u/w spirit dude=p

Deck discussion for EthanLewis this is for you :) UW Delver (Standard legal-tournament quality)

I don't really think that it's a smart idea to add blue to your deck only for some few cards. I can tell you, you could build a way better human deck, if you'd go for W/G.

Sorry for my bad english, not my native language.

Well, you could add some more Fiend Hunters as hunshaw23751 has explained and run a few Pacifism's or Oblivion Rings instead of the Mana Leak, you would me more vulnerable against spell decks, but you could focus on your own army of Humans and go W/G and buff them up like hell with Deranged Outcast and also boost your mana production by adding some Avacyn's Pilgrim.

Actually you could consider the three Fiend Hunters trick a bug, because you could for example just play your turn infinitely long and boost your Champion of the Parish up to 2000 or something lawl. Is it really legal, because i checked some rules about the card and there were no kind of explanations about it.

Well I wanna keep the counters because i dont know how prominent creature kill is in standard right now=p i dont wanna buff my champion to 2000 then have him pinged by some gay creature kill, thats what my mana leak is for :) if that makes sense, but you know more than i about standard so tell me, do you think creature kill is real threat?

There are pretty few "Destroy target creature" spells at the moment, which are cheap, the only cheap i do remember in the last editions is the "Doom Blade" from M12, which destroys a target nonblack creature for 1 black and 1 colorless mana. Not pretty big of a deal though, there really are almost no more creature kill cards.

doom blade, go for the throat, victim of night, tragic slip, dismember, black sun's zenith...that's not counting burn, either. Creature kill is a pretty big threat.

alright, well, in regards to comments above, do NOT run any amount of fiend hunters whatsoever. In delver, they're just weak.

So, I've never really played delver, but I understand it fairly well, and there are a few things that delver wants.

first off, for creatures I'd definitely include some amount of phantasmal images - they just get rid of everything you need, and can copy flipped delvers, or anything! with hunt master being huge it's also really good, and even better up against zombies. On that note, you could cut snapcasters down to 3, and geist to 1 (a lot of people expect geist, so he's not really a blow out anymore.)

divine offering, mutagenic growth, and 1 midnight haunting can all go. offering is good, but not THAT good, and you definitely don't need 3 vapor snag.

what you do want, is 1 runechanter's pike, 2 more gather the townsfolk, and maybe a 3rd mana leak.

i'd toy around with the numbers, but in the sideboard celestial purge, mortarpod, and leonin relic warder could all be useful.

thanks for the shoutout! but believe it or not, i'm relatively out of standard xD

Send Divine Offering to the sideboard and add 2 Mana Leak to the mainboard. Trust me here, you want the control. A friend of mine ran this deck and grabbed first place in my meta the other day, beating out my Delver tokens deck.

Cut gitaxion probes down to one, then put in thought scour. Thought scour is a cantrip that works great with snappy and pike. U definitely want 4 vapor snag, and u don't need gather the townsfolk. Those changes make the deck go more delver, if u want it to go more human then u. Should get some hero of bladeholds, and some mirran crusaders

hi buddysystem,

Too bad DCI has banned Lingering Souls and Intangible Virtue in block constructed.

Wow this deck looks amazely alot like a deck I posted recently. Take a look at it to get some ideas.

Legacy Delver Token Deck
Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=322124

or course your deck is Standard so don't add any of my Legacy cards.
