I know I'm late to the party but finally played dig in place of cruise. Equally ridiculous
and in some cases I preferred it.

I'm really hoping treasure cruise is banned but dig is left alone just before GP Vancouver, since then I can just play dtt/snap and crush people who dismissed the deck as dead.

I firmly believe Dig plus Snapcaster is just stronger; I'm of the opinion this will be like Pyromancer / Eidolon in standard last format.

I might be with you on the hopes of cruise getting banned metronome lol
I look forward to showing how equally ridiculous dig is after everyone dismisses the deck.
Gotta stay ahead of the curve someway right lol

So, this deck is named after the Delve cards, right? I'll do some Delving with my Modern Delver deck?

Yo dawg we heard you like delving so we put Delve in your Delver deck so you can Delve while you Delve.

You guys are going to want Affinity hate that doesn't cost 1 mana.

As someone who plays Affinity, I'm running 3 Chalice of the Void's in my sideboard now, and that card is a beating.

Is Shatterstorm too slow? I'm strongly considering abandoning SB blood moon already so would be in the market for alternatives anyway.

That's what my inclination was to do. The way the meta is shaping up, the decks I want blood moon vs. I never really need it, it's just a niche pick.

I'm moving down to 1 for a shatterstorm I think.

Shattering spree can answer chalice of the void because copies are not cast and is versatile because you can cast it for any amount of mana. Smash to smithereens fits in the aggressive gameplan of the deck (although the dig/snap lists are less aggressive) and is a card i like because i can side it in when i think my opponent will probably have some random annoying artifacts but i know it could stay in my hand for a while without targets .... the possibility of dealing 3 damages makes me feel less bad to side in a card that could be dead. Shatterstorm is obviously the best against affinity but 4 mana are 4 mana. If you fear ensoul artifact on a darksteel citadel you may consider shattering blow, which is also a nice answer to wurmcoil engine.

I like Shattering Spree best by far. Vandalblast never gets around Chalice even when overloaded.

Batterskull went back in my SB for Darkblast.
About Darkblast.

It being Dredge 3 coupled with Delve in Cruise & Dig plus the new Bloodghast_1.2 (Bloodsoaked Champion) led me to experiment with UB Delver.

Pro
Darkblast is faster Cruise/Dig fodder and reusable removal fitting the meta (=UR Delver, Affinity, etc.)
Disfigure hits Burns critters.
Bloodghast
Bloodsoaked Champion
Better removal suite
Greater threat persistance
(Odd revelation: Dimir Charm flips Delver, hard counters Cruise and hits most Tier 1 critters.)


Con
No burn to the head.
No direct artifact hate

Disfigure, Bloodghast and Bloodsoaked Champions are not good reasons to be in black.

It's also not about writing out Alistair of which archetype has more positive attributes, because that assumes that they're equally weighted, which they're not; Lightning Bolt is the best spell in the format and Pyromancer might be the best creature; no card on black is close to the power lever of either. That's not to say that there isn't reason to consider black, but it's not for some crappy creatures.

I mean "better removal suite" and Disfigure are just non-starter arguments mate.

Dark Blast, Doom Blade and Dimir Charm are gas though.

Thank God Zem posted so I didn't have to.

Grixis Delver is a legit consideration. UB is not.

Jund and UWR are the two most popular decks here. I'd say each is still 10% of our meta.
