Delver of Secrets Flip or Batterskull?

So I recently finished my temur delver deck and it runs really well,its a bit odd but powerful. I just wanted peoples opinions,should I even be running delver or should I run a few batterskulls instead? Here is the link.

You use the slug of the deck's URL. Yours is "temur-delver-opinions-please."

No. They require two completely different decks. Delver of Secrets Flip is a tempo based strategy(Delver) and Batterskull is for a control deck.

Batterskull is way too slow for this deck. It's better suited for a control build. Oh, and a field full of Kolaghan's Command kinda ruins it. You want Delver here. Also, going Temur only gisves you Simic Charm and tarmogoyf. That's not really all that good. Yes, Goyf is good, but he isn't worth dropping a color better suited for the deck. You want to go Grixis based off of what you've got. Replace the Mandril's with more copies of Tasigur. Oh, and having so many delve cards isn't that bright if you aren't running more lands or something like Thought Scour. Finally, 17 creatures is a lot for delver.

Batterskull is also really bad right now. Keranos would be the better option.
Regardless, play Delver. You don't want to be too controlling.

Delver and BSkull do entirely different things. You want to be able to drop Delver on turn one to apply early pressure that allows the rest of your threats to go unchecked and get some damage across at the same time.
BSkull is really more of a control finisher that's meant to close a game out by putting your life total out of reach. You have closers already in Mandrils and Goyf... and apparently Tasigur? Seems unnecessary.

thank you guys for your opinions and helping me link my deck! like i said the deck is a little odd,i really dont want to just copy a deck and play it,although i have in the past,i wanted it to be somewhat unexpexted and believe it or not there isnt too much delve cards in here and tasigur runs nice in the deck. i do plan on removing a Hooting Mandrills and an Electrolyze for two of the new jace,depending on how he plays of course. as for changing colors,ive already went all in and id rather not take this deck apart! lol

I mean, Delver decks usually have Delver in it, right...?

lol the reason i asked is the fact that my deck is a little different than most delver decks i have seen so i wasnt really sure. oh an xlaleclx neither,lightning strike is always the right answer.
