Is it worth it to build a U/R delver deck in modern without treasure cruise?

Delver is still going to be playable, but not as playable as it has been.

No, don't play delver. It's not really good anymore...

yes it is. Preordain Serum Visions Lightning Bolt Runechanter's Pike, a lot can be done!

Preordain isn't legal, and Runechanter's Pike was fringe-playable but not very strong in the long run.
Snapcaster Mage is real good though. Play four of that guy.

It'll be securely Tier 2. You can build it, but don't expect to do as well as people have been doing with the deck.
Generally speaking, you'll want to replace Treasure Cruise and Thought Scour with more cheap countermagic, and go back up to four Snapcaster Mage.
