Modern Deck Help forum

So im a commander player through and through but lately I don't have the i use to have so im building a modern deck so I can have faster games. I heard through a friend from my game store that I ever go into modern I should build something called Arggo Delver and I should either go Izzet (Red and Blue) or Grixis (Red,Blue,Black). So I looked up what Delver was and made a deck list for it. Here's the link Creepy Laboratory for Creepy Scientists. Any thought on how to make it faster/better while keeping the budget under $350

Lightning Bolt is just strictly better than Wizard's Lightning , so you should be at a 4/3 split or maybe even 4/4 if you are trying to go aggro. Skaab Ruinator is not that good because you have no way to get creatures in your graveyard. To slow things down, remove some aggro creatures and put in Kess, Dissident Mage , and to speed things up, try to lean into wizards with Soul-Scar Mage and Adeliz, the Cinder Wind . If you want to be midrange, Young Pyromancer could be good, as well as Fatal Push , or my favorite budget alternative Tragic Slip as removal. Serum Visions can help set up delver to flip earlier if you are all in delver. Remand can disrupt your opponent's tempo while cantripping on your side. I hope these can help you with your deck, and happy brewing!
