I've never heard of a Grixis Delver being successful in Modern.  What black is it running?  I'm assuming Dark Confidant s and some hand disruption...

I'd do U/W/R.  Restoration Angel , Path to Exile , Lightning Helix and possibly something like Lightning Angel / Geist of Saint Traft / Steppe Lynx seem to be a lot better than Confidants and hand disruption.

As for decklists, there's this amazing new invention called "Google".  I hear that if you give it something to look for, it will magically spit out something that you want to see...

Yes I know google :c I've looked at some lists but I'm new to the modern format because I've heard with RtR wizards is attempting to make modern more affordable. Yeah I think I'll go with URW, becuase bobs are 50 a piece and that's not possible for me atm.


Thank you so much. If anyone finds a good list please let me know.

Should run leak over deprive the game should be close to over before the ability to pay the cost off is relevant.
Of course I'm sure I've gone mad. The little man who crawled out of my eye was quite clear on this.

I agree with Mana Leak over Deprive.

It looks pretty good.  I'd probably trade a Seachrome, Foundry and 1-2 Steam Vents for more basics.  You probably want the ability to have WW and UU if you get put under a Blood Moon (not sure if it'll be brought in against you, but it might).  The remaining land should be another fetch land.  You want a lot of them with Steppe Lynx.

Probe is probably better than Peek, but Sleight of Hand is better than both.
