I played mine last FNM and it was bad... it would work sometimes and be completely and utterly brutal... then sometimes it would suck so bad it would hurt.
Best match was against a G/W midrange and I had just gotten two guttersnipes on the board. He had the big pecker worm out and it's token and a centar healer out. I was gonna loose next turn probably. So pulled my top card, Think Twice  . Played it, got a land and did 4 damage. Flashed it back and did 4 more damage. Drew my Artful Dodge  , played it on one of the snipes, then flashed it back on the other snipe for 8 more damage. Then swung for 4 and since he was sitting at 19 life that was game in one turn.
It would have been a completely wonderful deck if it was consistant but it is not at the moment.
Thats my point, that's not a Delver deck, it's a Guttersnipe deck.

You are correct. It was originally made to be a cheaper delver deck.... but the delver actually fell on it's face and the guttersnipe is the only thing that really pulled me though. So it was originally made to be a delver... but it didn't work so it became a gutter deck

Negate is not MD worthy
19 lands + only 4 cantrips = bad.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:

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.

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

your correct, in this format Essesense Scour (sp?) it a lot better since almost all decks out right now are creature based.
Also I've heard the term cantrips thrown around, is that stuff like think twice  and thought scour  , cheap stuff that draws you a card?

Yes it is Tyner. It also describes anything that says "Draw a card," such as Inaction Injunction. But specifically only one card, as the "draw a card" effect is worth less than one mana (hence why cards that cost 1 mana and draw you a card usually do something else, ie. Ponder, Gitaxian Probe, Peek, Sleight of Hand, Preordain, etc.)

Nivmagus Elemental is anti-counter tech.
Counters are bad this format.
Cause a good counter does not exist in this format.

Because not enough counters exist in this format that I want to play a 1/2 for 1 that can hate them out when my deck is filled with cheap redundant spells.
