Trying something a little different then usual. I haven't had a chance to try it out at fnm yet. Feel free to leave Main deck or sideboard suggestions. Thanks

Well, can't be delver without  {Delver of Secrets}! But that isn't happening, because standard.

Anyhow, things I'd drop:
{Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius}- he's just much to slow for what he does. He's got a bit of a power creep on a 5/5 body, but if you get him out turn 6, odds are someone is already beating your face in with  {Stormbreath Dragon} or  {Polukranos, World Eater}, and you would rather be drawing into a verdict.
{Quicken}- there simply isn't enough of a reason to have them. They aren't flexible enough, as it does require you to have a sorcery in hand with them, otherwise it's a dead card. Even if you did, {Supreme Verdict} at instant speed isn't worth the extra card slot and one more {U}.
