Grixis Delver in modern is probably the most fun deck in Magic, and the customizing is almost unending. This list is the one I have worked on for about 2 and a half months.
One night I was just looking through some old decks I had but barely ever played, I had my storm, nivmagus, and a aggro kolaghan deck. I made a spectacular Grixis land base, and before my eyes was a janky Monastery Swiftspear good stuff deck, and it worked, it worked really well, but it didn't have something, I didn't know what it was, after looking on here, I realized that it had become a thing. So this is the list I like a lot, I still don't know what needs to be in the sideboard, really need some help on that.
things not to suggest Please don't tell me I need Scalding Tarn, they cost more than I get paid in a week, and I don't really think the deck needs them, let me explain. The thing I want constantly is blue turn 1, and black on turn 2, This lets me fetch, get Island play a Delver of Secrets
, possibly flip Delver of Secrets
, fetch, Swamp thought scour,exile graveyard, play Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Boom, turn 2 you have a 3/2 with flying and a 4/5. Do you understand why this makes me exited? Moving on. Something else I can't do is Snapcaster Mage. Yes snappy is probably the best creature in modern, but the price is outrageous and I don't plan on getting them anytime soon. I'm not gonna say that the deck doesn't need them, because it is one of the best cards in modern.
Things I want opinions on Alighty then, what I want to become of this deck is a deck this all the answers, I want something in this deck to fight everything, this land base really supports Cryptic Command better than you think it would, and I was hoping to eventually run it as a 2 of, everyone knows that you just can't lose the game if you can play it and have one. Aside from the only thing I want to put in is Snapcaster Mage, which makes many spells twice as good. Also they synergy with Kolaghan's Command can not be over looked, snappy dies, return him to your hand with the command, then play snappy, flashback the command. Can you hear that? That's just value, pure, unadulterated value. I kinda want to put twin in here somewhere, but that seems like a math problem I can't solve right now.
Grixis is my favorite shard by far. Anything that lets you be able to have a deck that runs efficient removal, aggressive threats, and counter magic? I'm not sure why someone wouldn't love something to breath taking. This deck runs like clock work, and runs enough instants and sorcerys to flip Delver of Secrets
consistently, one thing that I do is sometimes not reveal if I end up with a removal spell, just to play Serum Visions and try to just reveal a cantrip. Letting someone know you have an answer to their Splinter Twin or Restoration Angel just seems like you should wait until it's too late. Like I said, please help me with the sideboard. If you like the deck please help me out with a +1 and a comment, thanks for everything.
