Deck Description

Typical Delver based tempo deck around early creatures and tempo spells. Modeled after U/R Delver, went with U/W because I already had most of the cards so it was cheaper for me. Could use some suggestions, especially on the sideboard.

Deck discussion for U/W Delver Tempo

For sideboard I would suggest Spellskite and Stoney Silence. For main deck try and acquire 1 or 2 copies of Cryptic Command and the same goes for Celestial Colonnade 3 or 4 actually.

Spellskite is good, I could try that out. Stony Silence is good, though I was going with Kataki since I could use him as a beater and not sacrafice spots for cards that flip Delver. I could try it though and see. Cryptic and Colonnade seem pretty slow for this deck, they go great in a midrange or slow control deck but with only 19 lands it seems like Colonnade especially would never be able to come online until the game was over. Cryptic maybe could work as a 1-2 of maybe, though I was trying to keep the curve low. Right now Cryptic is out of my price range but if I manage to get a couple at some point I'll try it out.
I'll look for Spellskite for sure in the sideboard and test out Stony Silence as well.

Thanks for the input!

Kataki is good early game but most artifact decks especially Tron has no problem paying a bit where in Stoney Silence shuts them down. I agree with the value of the Cryptic Commands and personally don't own any myself for the same reasons. I simply know it's what should be played. :)

You maybe right about the Colonnades however I have seen them be powerhouses when the game goes long. You do have enough control for that to happen. just saying perhaps cut 1 probe and throw 1 in if possible.

Hmm good point about the artifact hate, I'll play around with the numbers and will likely be running at least one Stony Silence.

I'll pay attention to how long games go and what mana I have available in further testing, maybe see if it is worth throwing one or two Celestial Colonnades in, or even have them in the SB to bring in for games I know will go longer.
