Deck discussion for Delversnipe

With mana leak rotating and vapor snag rotating something about this list doesn't cut it you have all the tempo minus the protection here so the flipped delver is goin to get pillar of flamed yor guttersnipe will be guttersnipped but unfortunately there's no good 2 drop counterspell of any kind if the meta shapes up to be tap out every turn maybe syncopate but that's still a soft counter dissipate works increadably well but it's 3 drop
Another card I think could improve your deck is blistercoil wierd he does all sorts of fun with instants and sorceries since you can't protect talrand you may switch him out it just depends on The meta

This is my rtr deck you'll see what I mean about your threats being removed and worse your deck lets mine stabilize pretty easily

Do you think something like pursuit of flight or spectral flight would be good enough to protect some of my creatures from pillars?

Tbh I think delver in his old form is dead decks will still play him but with 15 to 20 spells and better creatures rather then resolving delver and just protecting him and spells may do more then just tempo blue white a place where delver shines

That enchantements will just get you 2 for 1'd as they murder your creature snyway

The deck looks nice, but why using Think Twice in a deck U play no miracles?.. It's about useless here...

Instead, I'd use 1 more Talrand, 1 more Charm, & 2-3 Hypersonic Dragon, or may be Thundermaw Hellkite instead by taking out an Unsummon, if U'd use 3 rather than 2...

I won't use Essence Scatter... Use 2-3 Dissipates in the sides... ...it's nice against grave & better than Syncopate... ... Imagine: Syncopate with X=2 cost as many mana as Dissipate...

Drop the Invocation from the sides, if U don't play it in the main... May be U could use it in the main &/or 2-3 Talrand total...


If U have the time, I think U'd like my Grixis control...

Share your suggestions, if U feel like it: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=391163

I like think twice for draw power, and it can trigger guttersnipe twice. But I do like the dissipate suggestion, and I will replace talrands invocation for those, and will drop the essence scatters. Its already done irl, ill change it here when I get a final deck list. Thanks :)
