I've been playing Modern for awhile (about a year on and off), but most of my experience is on Scapeshift (formerly the RG titan version, now the RUG with four DTT's). I'm trying to practice as much Delver as I can as the archetype fascinates and excites me but hasn't been real strong in Modern unti...

What sort of UR build would you guys recommend for a completely open and random meta? It's pretty difficult to predict what will show up in my local meta, with different people bringing different decks every week. Even though i like the DTT/snapcaster builds more, I think the swiftspear/cruise versi...

Went 3-2 and then lost a really close game 3 to 4 color delver and dropped. I really learned a lot today about the format and how important knowing matchups is.

What do you guys think about Caleb Durwald's take on UR delver in modern? I personally think he's crazy for running 17 lands with only 6 mana producing lands and no ponder/brainstorm, but he says it's been working well for him http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/legacy-weapon-the-best-deck-in-le...

I just picked up this deck and I've been playing with the lavamancers, I really like him in the creature matchups

I haven't played any of the grinder matchups though, i'm sure swiftspear is much better in those.

maybe load up more on searing effects in the board and/or put lavaman in the board?

I dunno if I'd call the deck linear, you have to make the correct choices when you pick what to discard depending on what you've got in your hand. The aggro matches (in game 1 at least) seem like they can come down to whether you draw Bridge or not, but game two is usually better. I will agree bad s...

Yeah, that was my thinking for running blinkmoth over muta. It's pretty expensive to pump blinkmoth but when your hand is empty (or close to it) from Liliana you don't have much else to spend mana on.
