Notes:
For the past month or so I have been testing this deck in the hopes of taking it to a FNM here soon I think I have the deck exactly where I want it. It is tailored to my local thats why there are some odd techs. The deck can play as a speeding deck or a nice tempo deck as most delver decks do. The only thing I'm not liking about the deck is its aggro match ups but I think I have fixed that problem.

I really like playing this deck but I find that I'm really reliant on delver for the kill so it causes in consistency. I tried just about every new dragons maze card in here and didn't like any of the except  {Turn // Burn} which found its way to my side board. I mainly want 1 good medium cost card that can be a great win con or combos great with  {Runechanter's Pike}. Any suggestions?

But only if you consider it budget.

I would run 4 of this guy. He will add so much consistency to your deck.

Also put 2 {Talrand, Sky Summoner} in the sideboard to help against those agro weenie or token decks.

Dude... I can't believe no one has brought up {izzet charm} yet. 3-4 of those is a MUST. Certainly one of the top 3 most usable charms.

 {Reckless Waif} doesn't sound bad but I wish it had evasion like delver and I feel like he flips back over too easy. I have been meaning to try out  {Invisible Stalker} for a while now but never really got to it he seems like the top add in now. I'm not sure about  {Guttersnipe} I might try him but he seems meh. And I've tested  {Izzet Charm} a lot and don't like it at all.

So much fail..... For starters {Guttersnipe} is great in a deck like this. And how can you not like {izzet charm}? I don't know if you've ever played standard competitively, but the versatility that card offers is unparalleled. How can you possibly justify 4 {searing spears} but not use any {izzet charms}? It's a counter, a burn spell, and a faithless looting all in one!

First of that was a little bit rude and really don't like your tone. I have my own opinion you don't have to go bashing them. Second I have been play testing this deck a lot probably a lot more than you have so I know what I'm talking about. Third I have plenty oh standard meta experience and I know just how fast it is right now so I am adapting my deck to account for then speed which is why I don't play guttersnipe it's too slow. So don't go bashing someone's ideas before you have the facts. Say your opinion, that's all.
