WOW, a delver list. SO UNIQUE. Creatures 4 x Delver of Secrets  4 x Jace's Phantasm  4 x Spellstutter Sprite  4 x Pestermite  Spells 4 x Rune Snag  3 x Condescend  1 x Disrupting Shoal  2 x Familiar's Ruse  4 x Thought Scour  2 x Trickbind  3 x Piracy Charm  4 x Boomerang  Land 2 x Faerie Conclave  2 x Tectonic Edge  17 x Island  Basic Delver resource denial tempo list, except only in Blue because I'm too cheap for duals. Like every delver list, goal is to stick one or two threats and protect them with counters/bounce. I may want more disrupting shoal over Familiar's ruse, but the option to replay spellstutter or pestermite is too nice, and shoal is tricky to cast properly. Piracy charm is the jankiest inclusion, but its discard to help turn on phantasm, or removal for things like bob/snappy. Boomerang included over other bounce simply because it can hit lands. Faerie conclave gives me a beater that dodges sorc speed removal, and tec edge assists in resource denial, along with trickbind. Opinions? is there something in the meta that I didn't see that hoses this into oblivion?

Better invest in some cheap filter lands and innistrad duals and build a splinter twin or UR storm. Those are not only cheap but actually have the chance to win a tournament.

So brave, a Delver list.
I'd try not to run Familiar Ruse, seems like a trap. Up the number of Distrupting Shoals.
Get rid of Trickbind and Boomerang. Throw in Swords or Runechanter's Pike. Probably SoFI, SoFF and SoBM.

I've been playing this online, so no chance to run Phantasm yet. Really curious about him, even though he probably sucks. I will definately agree with the ruse > shoal exchange. Shoal is much more relevant. Runechanter's pike already made it into the list. Are there not enough fetches to justify MD trickbind? I put it in based solely on MD stifles in RUG delver in legacy. It's also stopped sword triggers and one griselbrand activation (which was delicious). I really wish there was a DTB subforum here, because I built this blind. Would I be better off running some Mistbind Clique  to keep them off mana? So far that seems to be the best approach I've had. Thanks for the input guys.

Stifle is 1 mana, which lets you make them landless on the play. Remember you're also not RUG Delver.
