the fulminator mage was in my inventory up until the last 2 weeks and someone bought all of mine. I'm actually glad because he could be reprinted in MM2. I do agree he is a bad spec.
So far from all the lists, I haven't seen anyone play Dig through time. I've only heard about everyone playing treasure cruise and eliminating snapcaster mages. And for the person who is listing Keranos and Batterskull??? Are you crazy? 5 mana is too much.
Snapcaster is pretty much dead in this deck. Atmost, I'd play 2 of. He is weaker than Pyromancer and he doesn't play well with treasure cruise. The deck revolves around triggering pyro and flooding the board with 1/1's and Treasure cruise to refill the hand.
Also, if you don't believe snapcaster is a weaker 2 drop, then look at the legacy champs decklist. There were like 6 delver decks in top 8 all using treasure cruise and no snapcasters. Treasure cruise has effectively pushed U/R delver decks to the top.
Is there a version of this that's less controlling but with more burn and run young pyromancer. I'm curious how well he might perform in the current field with so many lingering souls.
I can't believe people complain about getting one shotted with a creature? So instead, I'll one shot you with my combo or Voltron deck. Must be your play group. A bunch of whiny teenagers.
I guess the real question is to whether one should drop green and play tuktuk scrapper instead. His cost of 4 is not good against the 3 casting cost swords. You're probably fine on the play but on the draw tuktuk scrapper might be a bit slow. Also, dropping green could mean adding black in and that provides a stronger sideboard against zoo/tarmagoyf decks.
Have you tried playing 1v1? Get out of multiplayer games. If you're the person who wants to build good decks then you should play competitively. Those casual players will ruin your life.
