The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for W/u DELVER needs help

This is definitely a powerhouse list. I don't play this super-annoying deck myself, but have played against it A LOT. Here's how it works... You ideally want Delver of Secrets and at least one Ponder in your opening hand. Turn 1, play island, Delver of Secrets and maybe a Git Probe for 2 life. Turn 2, Set down your hand and pick up your draw, so as to keep it seperate until you determine if you have the trigger to flip Delver (do this every draw until Delver flips). Any instant or sorcery will do. If you draw a non-instant, non-sorcery your turn 2 will be play Ponder to set up your turn three draw to flip Delver. If you are really lucky you will also be able to cast a second Delver of Secrets and both will flip on your turn 3 draw. After that you just use Vapor Snag, Gut Shot and Mana Leak to clear the way for/protect your Insectile nasties. Oh, and with Snapcaster Mage you just repeat any of these spells from your graveyard. The Restoration Angel is a great 3/4 flyer you can cast at instant speed on any turn and her Enter the Battlefield ability is great to bounce Snapcaster and reallly abuse his EtB abilty! The Geist of St Traft is really just amazing, especially when you get it out on turn 3 or 4 and use your counter/removal to just beat face with him and his Angel buddy. This deck is dominating standard currently, so put together a good sideboard and you're all set.

Hope my comments helped! If you have a minute check out my current standard deck and give me some feedback. Thanks!

You should also get 4 Seachrome Coast. They're still standard legal until Fall.
