I have been testing the Copters in a couple different matchups, and I'm not sure how I like it. It's won me a few games, but not anything radically significant. And to those suggesting Mentor, I've played Geist in this build, and one of the major problems with it is it's mana cost, the same as mentor. Especially no with no Probe to help guarantee some value out of the Mentor, I don't care for the idea much. I feel there is another threat idea out there I'm missing. I want one more good threat along with Tasigur, Delver, and Souls. Any idea gents?
Hello my Esper friends! I have an update on how my esper delver progress is coming! So far, Geist is good, but I don't like it main. Seems good in some grindy matchups, but I'm not liking it overall. I think someone mentioned it earlier, but I will be trying Smuggler's Copter as well. Seems ok if delver cant flip, and interacts well with Lingering Souls(on both sides). I'll try 3, and let y'all know how it goes.
Hello all! I too enjoy flipping some delvers, and I love this idea. I've tried esper before, but it never felt strong enough. I feel like collective brutality and fatal push help this archetype alot. Personally, I kinda have a love affair with Geist, so I believe I will try it in this shell as well. I really need to get my hands on a set of brutality lol. Real late to that party. I can already taste the value of brutality discarding souls though. That's so dirty.
I'm new to this deck, I've been playing Mardu Vehicles at my LGS for about the past month and a half. Just picked up the last commons and whatnot for the strategy. How does one beat Marvel? It's the one deck that continually gives me trouble. Also, any other tips and tricks I should know? Any Aether Revolt cards we should be testing. Thanks all.

Hey man, welcome to the club! A couple tips ive picked up:
1)people can kill guide after trigger resolves (path, bolt, terminate, etc.)
2)against suicide zoo, always let them approach you. In a later turn, unload on them all at once.
3)starting about turn 3-4, try to be holding up a life gain hate card, as many viable decks run main deck life gain. (Kitchen finks is a prime example)
4)never forget your suspend trigger or eidolon trigger.
5)boros charm has more modes than just 4 to the face.
6)against infect, even if your hand looks gas, but does not have a way to kill the elf, ship it fast.
7)my general rule for mulligans is as follows:
4 lands: ship
3 lands: should be fine, sometimes you can get land flood, but especially after sideboard, if you have a hate card( DRev), keep it.
2 lands: this is my personal sweet spot
1 land: if it has 4 or more 1 mana spell, I keep it. Anything less and I consider mulligan.
0 land: YOLO, I guess. Naw, ship these.
8)enjoy the tron and gr breach matchup. You get to goldfish.
9)play path in the sideboard. Great for meta right now imo.
10)sometimes you have to kill your own eidolon(learned this the hard way).
Hope this helps man! Good luck! I also seem to remember a thing online called the burn bible. Id read it. It does have some outdated things, but is overall very helpful.
