So, right now I currently play U/R Delver. Unfortunately, given that I'm paying for magic right now by playing more magic, I only own one Bonfire of the Damned that I opened from a pack. I have never topdecked that card and been able to use it without the help of a Ponder allowing me to plan for it. Either I end up drawing it in my opener or I draw it off of a cantrip (and in the case of Thought Scour , if I draw it there I don't have the mana to use it). But even without the ability to miracle it and destroy people, it's still awesome for me at 1, 2, and god forbid if I get up to 3. It keeps surprising me just how solid the card is even when you're just playing it. (On a more unrelated note, screw Dungrove Elder . I played against this weird "mono green" deck that splashed for red and white to play Restoration Angel and Huntmaster of the Fells , plus probably some sideboard stuff playing the extra colors off of Abundant Growth , Birds of Paradise , and apparently Sphere of the Suns . He had two Dungrove Elder in game 1, two dungroves in game 2 (which I thankfully had Mana Leak + Snapcaster Mage for), and four dungroves in game 3. Green Sun's Zenith only searched out one of those dungroves in game 1 and the rest were drawn naturally. Seriously, how the frick do I beat that? I dealt with the first two, but then he drew into two more. My only out at the end of game 3 was a bonfire, but I already said that I don't ever get to miracle those. He told me at the beginning of the match that his deck was bad and that I would probably beat him. Now I know why he was 3-1 up to that point: he is a lucky fool.)

You beat dungrove by racing. You have 1 cmc snapping drakes .
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun. Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today that kinda freaked me out

 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

I'm betting it was playing nearly all Forests. He said the splashes came off Birds and Abundant Growths (and Sphere... ew...).

lol @ B_F.
Dungrove is one of those cards that you should probably just be prepared to beat... cause there's alwasy gonna be a guy playing something like it.

If your playing Delver you have no right to complain about any deck, and perhaps look at your own bangwagon jumping techniques and get better at the deck you thought was 'build and win'

Red blue delver is hardly a bandwagon.

I myself played blue red delver for a whle and even though I own a playset of bonfires I also had blast act in the sideboard which deals with all the other pesky hexproof creatures... it isn't as solid bonfire but it'll do the job you want it to instead
