My take on pauper delver. Definitely more aggressive and with more burn than traditional ninja based delver with Augurs and faeries. I'll be testing both to see which one I like better. This one plays more like a modern burn or tempo deck. Stick a one drop with power >1 t1 or 2 and get some chip damage in. Counter problematic spells, shoot down some creatures, sneak in with flyers, and burn whatever is left of their life total down. Can still play a pretty good control game when it needs to too.

The drake in the sideboard is to have something that can wrap up games or block everything from quick lil aggro decks (Like green stompy but I haven't tested against that yet) that the Geist wouldn't help with, but the geist would be much better against anyone shooting my creatures down.

I'm testing different amounts of a lotta flex slots right now. I honestly I haven't been impressed with snag in any matchup so it's down to two. Might cut a chain lightning cause bad bolt is sometimes really bad and I only have no many red sources. I haven't gotten to use the sprites yet but I have accepted that they will only ever hit one drops and that's okay for enough matchups.

I keep going back and forth on Skred vs Flame Slash and Ponder vs Preordain. I know preordain is generally better without all the shuffle effects but I'm trying to set up delver flips and miracles so that might push it towards ponder. I'm playing a split of each right now for testing purposes.

The sideboard is subject to change. And often. It's set up for a pretty blind meta.
