Serra Avenger Dropped a little in price, and turns out Ponder is a major budget eater this time. Its almost .50 for a common. crazy high, but that is what happens with good cards.
Didn't add any more cards for creatures but clownbaby's suggestion for Midnight Haunting not only provides 2 extra bodies per card that fly for the theme of the deck, but also gives us more spells and an even higher chance to flip delver after casting him. Plus its instant speed support which paired with anthems in play is pretty boss if you ask me.
@shinbatsu: I do. And my local FNM is actually a pretty good testing ground, as quite a few of the players here play in SCG events and get top 8, and 2 of them are PTQ qualifiers (they play and act as judges too). the metta is A balance between Aggro and Control, the strongest players use these deck: Grixis Control, GW Humans, GR Aggro, UW Delver
i will probably test online first just to get a feel for the build and let you guys know what happens

(O_o) .....the face I made the moment I realized that deep down.... I am a mill deck player.
Any feedback on the list i posted for you in my previous post?
With the addition of midnight haunting, i'm not sure i would have lowered the land count to 20.
That makes quite a few 3cc cards for 20 lands. Hope you're not gonna have mana problems. Testing will tell.
well, my revised list is actually based off of yours
the idea for righteous blow is a good one. early game removal, alot of early attackers have 2 or less power, and is a good option for the delver mirror.
Test your list i wanna see how it works for you

@Bangoo - A. I am not sure you are running enough instant & sorceries to flip delver reliably which leads to B. Runechanter's pike is pretty underpowered in your list. C. Favorable winds isn't that great either with so few flying threats. I would be interested to hear your results with the deck, but it seems anti-synergistic. D. Tiny nitpick, but why not run a couple of evolving wilds instead of plains? It wouldn't change your turn 1 Delver plan any, and it would help with color fixing a bit.
@bangoo: side board im not sure yet. I have always struggled when it comes to sideboarding. Im still mulling over what matchups i can board on the $1 budget. once i figure it out, i will edit my last decklist

cancel + negate for control
revoke existence + divine reckoning + stoney silence for Trading post
@Bangoo- to meet budget, maybe drop 2 serra avenger and add 2 midnight haunting. Serra Avenger is kinda slow as the turn 4 play. Also easier to cast W2 than WW reliably in this deck.
