Hey guys. So I'm running a UR delver deck which I really like but would like to know its matchups with other decks. By this I mean like what to sideboard and what to put in my main deck as well as general strategies as I just made this deck recently. The deck matchups I'm interested in are more like tribal stuff like elves and decks with a lot of creatures. I know bonfire is a great card for this but I feel like I need a few more answers or a strategy for these types of matchups.
Another thing is the Counterspells. I have mana leak and daze but with all these ramp decks going around I'm not sure how much of an effect it has on doing its job. Any ideas on that issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the suggestions. I see your point about bonfire so I put electtrickery instead. Very useful for two mana. Mind breaker trap looks really good but I have a question about eidolon. Isn't our mana curve at 3? All our spells would kill us too right? So how would you make eidolon work and in what situation. As for counter spells I'm thinking of limiting it to just mana leak and daze and one bounce, vapor snag. Would It be more advisable to play more burn in this case? I mean counterspellss are great but the opponent could always pay 3 if he can late game.
Aight eidolon seems a bit redeemed but I'll see if I will need later.
I'm thinking if adding a few cards that aren't really apart of the UR Delver mold like nivmagus elemental. I'm thinking of putting a combo where you pump this guy with cipher abilities and letting him go to town. Of course this is more of a sideboard option and more for the fun of it. Would that be a good idea considering the large number of spells delver has?
Your counterspells should be Force of Will and Daze. If you want more, go for Spell Pierce or Spell Snare. In Legacy, with Volcanic Island and fetches, Counterspell is essentially always superior to Mana Leak, though neither should be in this kind of deck. Nivmagus is probably worse than Swiftspear but you must play 3-4 Flusterstorm if you are playing it.
