This is a deck I'm currently tinkering with.  Let me know your thoughts, and ideas.  Thanks.

 {Augur of Bolas} would be a good card to replace the  {Delver of Secrets}, but that's just my opinion.

I was looking at {Augur of Bolas}, but he's a merfolk, and doesn't interact well with {Champion of the Parish}.

Yeah I understand that, I was more thinking along the lines of a two drop that's good because you can look at your cards and decide what you need, even thou he's not a human.

Maybe reckless waif over delver? Seems for consistent to flip and still gives value. The waif is almost guaranteed to flip against control. And against Aggro all the delver will end up doing is chump blocking

I just get a weird feeling about this deck. I'm in no way saying its bad i have not played tested it. So please don't take it as that. To me though it just seems it doesn't have a convincing identity. It feels like its trying to be both aggro and control mixed together. And to me it feels that it may be ok at being both but it might get blow out by a deck that is dedicated to one or the other and does that job a lot better. Now again I'm not saying it doesn't work but for me I would pick what you want to do with the deck and then replace the cards that are needed. But that's just how I feel about. I could be missing the point and if I did I'm sorry. But that's my thoughts. Maybe it helps and maybe it doesn't lol

Wow!  For some reason I didn't think of the waif.  Thanks!

I understand what you're saying.  To play delver you have to have a lot of instants and sorceries so delver can flip.  So, you end up being 1/2 agro, and 1/2 control to protect delver after he flips.

I may modify, and try to run waif and delver.  That may give me more of an agro identity.

Ok.  Modified.  I'm gonna try this deck out Tuesday.  I'll have to proxy a couple cards though. :/

What it looks like to me is that you have the champion who kinda fills the spot of the quirion dryad in the lists with green, so that you have more than one threat so you don't get blown out

What about  {Gore-House Chainwalker} instead of waif?
Title: Re: USA Humans

Modified again.  Gonna try the chain walker.
