So just sticking my nose into this lovey mash up of killer cards, but has anyone considered Traverse the Ulvenwald?
Pros:
Thins the deck with the land search
Allows you to discard the land to Jeskai and keep the card you drew
If you have delirium you can search for another Fatesticher
Cons:
You may draw another land
Unless I'm missing something I think it would be a decent 3-4 of. Seems better to me than Cerulian Whisps.
Also x2 Reborn Hope let's you go infinite with one in hand and one in graveyard.
So Hanweir Militia, cute or does it have a home? I think it's a serious contender. Hi I'm (creature) and I'll get vialed in and become big and net you more creatures. Can even do some vial hijinks to make this guy bigger in combat. I like it may even work for the all humans build that I think Medea was talking about a few days ago.
Ah ha. In my meta (which in my defense was Germany 3 years ago) delver and Jund were my worst match ups. My list is back in thread somewhere and it was my best list for those matches.
Medea, I really like your list. Have some questions though: Do you not expect a control heavy meta where your taking that? When I played last everyone and their mother was playing some kind of delver (literally a 15 year old and his mom came in with identical delver lists) so I always ran 4 Cavern of Souls even though I only ran 15 ish humans. I also prefer to run the Ethersworn Cannonist and I loved her for it. Are you not in a control heavy meta?
If you have combo heavy meta then close out some of those slots for GY hate. Splash white for Flicker it can also be grabbed with wish and yard hate. Ancsestral Vision isn't that great here unless you cascade into it, I say run Ponder instead.
That's all I can think of for now. To early to brain for me.
What about a lantern/pox cross over? I mean smallpox not big pox. Or maybe a Stax lantern type thing? I've been out of the game for a few years so I'm not sure what would make good synergy in those style builds.
I think I would rather go for the lock than Emmy or some other massive fatty. Simply due to the fact that these are castable when food chain has been destroyed.

Summoner's Pact Pact of Negation Slaughter Pact are all good.
Possibly some storm cards?
Reborn Hope. Two in hand. Discard one. Cast second targeting first. Go infinite.
Riftstone Portal. Putting one in the yard helps cast other than blue spells.
Also some tech I saw when someone said Thought Scour was cool.
Gaea's Blessing.
Pros:
Gets you two cards
Let's you grab some cantrips
When used with thought scour gives you back everything
Cons:
CMC 2
Just my thoughts on what can be a Teir 1 deck
Could we find room for 1-2 Alms of the Vein, or does the possible life loss of 3 turn some of y'all off?
What I can see for it so far is
Pros:
adds to storm
Takes life/gives life
Can be discarded to LED then used
Cons:
Less life to Ad Nauseam
Takes place of a cantrip
CMC 3
So tell me off or give me a good reason to run or not run it.

This makes me happy because it's the type of deck that will make my opponent pull out their hair, and that makes me smile.
Pros:
Thins the deck with the land search
Allows you to discard the land to Jeskai and keep the card you drew
If you have delirium you can search for another Fatesticher
Cons:
You may draw another land
