No problem; I believe I posted a similar list a few months ago but took a long break to play commander on MTGO instead. Just coming back to modern again but I've been been grinding friendly leagues and have yet to do worse than 3-2 in ~10 attempts or so.
I know at first glance the numbers can seem a bit weird but a lot of work has been put in here and these choices are all calculated. The remand and knuckleblade are the only real flex slots here IMO but as of now I wouldn't be change a thing. The mardu variants that have popped up seem like an uphill battle so I've been mulling things like Kira, great glass spinner a shot as a traverse target but I'm unsure if it's necessary as of yet. Feel free to ask questions.
@blood moon for burn; it's been discussed here before and I've tried it several times but with less than great results. I usually lose to burn because I didn't answer their early creatures, not because I can't stop burn spells. It can certainly steal games though, I can definitely see that.
This list looks pretty amazing!!
I know that it can be a lot of work but would it be possible to have a simple in & out list as a SB plan.
I think that would help many of us here!
As you said you've put many hours into the list and i'm keen to find out more!
Hey all, I'm just letting everyone know I've joined the party of RUG Delver. It was a blast to play last night, I made some mistakes and I need to finish my land base.
A highlights from last nights games were: I was on 3 life, board state was goyf for me and Eidilon for the opponent, who was on 5 life. I fork bolted the enchantment creature to grow goyf to a 5/6 and killed him, going to 1 life myself in the process!
My second game was against D&T - I think that in that game if they resolve a vial we are on the back foot. I was thinking I should've held my stubborn turn one to counter their vial, could've really changed the outcome of the game. Since then i've added 4 D Shoal.
I think it should be a blast to see peoples faces when you counter their plays on the draw!
I love the way this deck can be tweaked to any meta. Folks playing burn? Sweet, main deck lone missionary. Folks playing storm? Main deck canonist. It's awesome.
Whenever I play a colorless land I end up drawing it when I can't afford to and feel bad. Hazard of running 22 lands and 4 colors though. If your manabase is less restrictive (more lands or fewer colors or both) I think you can get away with one, GQ/Gavony or something.
Has anybody been playing Aven Mindcensor recently? I'm thinking of trying one in the main as it's a reasonable body without the effect but also helps in some of my harder G1 matchups: Storm, Titanshift, Counters Company, and to an extent Tron (not great in those matchups, but better than some of our other very dead cards). I'll probably jam it and try some leagues but if anybody has thoughts I'm all ears.
I have it in the side. I used it against storm last week. Totally blanked his gifts. Pretty decent aye.
It's an interesting list for sure. I wanna know what the cunning spark Mage is for. I guess it replaced static caster as it's easier to play with four blood moons.
Thanks so much for taking the time!
I've been gold fishing the deck and i can really see the power of traverse aye - that card is a house, especially with snap as well.
Thanks again!

I don't pay it aye. I do play 3 ghost quarter. It might be too much though.
