iMtG Server: Gathering

UG Delver 60 cards, 0 sideboard 17 {Island} 4 {Hinterland Harbor} 1 {Forest} 22 lands 4 {Delver of Secrets} 4 {Invisible Stalker} 2 {Snapcaster Mage} 10 creatures 2 {Runechanter's Pike} 1 {Sword of War and Peace} 1 {Batterskull} 4 {Titanic Growth} 4 {Mutagenic Growth} 4 {Dissipate} 4 {Vapor Snag} 4 {Ponder} 4 {Gitaxian Probe} 28 other spells Sideboard Notes: Probably my favorite iteration of delver. Play a stalker, equip and pump it and do tons of damage with that and flipped delvers. Usually goes 2-2 or 3-1 at FNM's, any advice to make it a 4-0 deck would be nice!

What about {quirion dryad}

I've never really been a fan of the dryad. Always seemed a bit slow, and I don't want to bring my spell count down for her

Nah. There's a reason I don't play UW delver. EVERYONE plays UW delver. There's no deck variety among the lists and quite frankly I find it one of my least favorite decks to actually play. UG delver is a unique list, no one expects it. It combos very well, and invis stalker with the green pumps is insanely good. Also, running Muta-groth means you can't gut shot my delver.
I'm not the kinda guy who just throws $250 at a deck that won a tournament somewhere. I take pride in the fact that every one Of my decks is a home brew, and that I win FNM's frequently with my own decks. So no UW delver for me.

Love this idea for a delver deck, what do you run in your sideboard?

He'll yea man, I'm glad someone else strayed away from the traditional delver. The Geist are the only reason for so many U/W delvers. I previously made a U/R delver and I still felt like I was on the band wagon. So I went to something else that isn't seen in my meta often, a R/B vampire deck. Good build man.

Dryad plus {artful dodge} makes for some silliness.

Still need to complete my sideboard, Naturalize and Crushing Vines are definites though

IMHO. I agree on the {Quirion Dryad}. Turn 2 Dryad is awesome. Especially in a delver deck with low creature count.

I agree with you on too many UW delvers, but you said home brew. This isn't a home brew. This is basically UW delver with 3 other spells. Everything else can be found in a traditional UW delver (omitting white spells of course}

{giant growth}
{dissipate}
{mutagenic growth}

And 1 of {batterskull}

I agree. And this would be the first standard deck I would witness te dryad be in a 4-0 winning deck.

I'm surprised at how long it's taken for someone to make this. I knew itd be so good as soon as I thought of it. But I myself am not a delver player. Now we just need a U/B delver and we have all color variants.

I bumped my U/B Delver deck for you.
