Description
I've heard Delver is dead, but I'd like see if this would be viable as tier 2 deck. 26 instant/sorcery should hopefully trigger delver more often than not. I haven't done any play testing yet, will post when I do. Sideboard turns this into a more conventional control deck. Hoping this can at least pull a winning record at FNM. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
Updates
I ran this in casual play against an underpowered Red Deck Wins (no
Thundermaw Hellkite
) and a rats deck and would have won had I not misplayed (3 way battle, and I swung at the wrong time). Not the best for playtesting, but I'll take what I can get at the kitchen table. Two cards that didn't work as well as I hoped,
Thought Scour
and
Think Twice
. The main issue is
Thought Scour
milled out stuff I'd rather have in hand and
Think Twice
just didn't seem all that great when playing the control game. I'll be replacing those with
Forbidden Alchemy
and
Lingering Souls
for additional tokens and deeper dig. I'm going to splash some black/blue mana sources as well.

Don't think of Thought Scour like that. The reason it was run in so many Delver decks in the past was the inclusion of Snapcaster Mage synergy with cards in the GY as well as empowering runechanters pike. The two cards you mill can theoretically be any card in your library.
