Maybe move it to casual for right now... A lot of these cards aren't that good in modern. If you want, I have a delver list a little ways down this page if you want to make a powerful Modern deck

Correct me if I'm mistaken, these are for modern ideas? The top tier tourney decks are on the top. Not sure why it's necessary for me to move this.

The section is for modern decks that are actually competitive, not just a modern legal deck with standard playable but nowhere else cards. If you want suggestions on how to make it modern competitive (which is definitely possible) then it should stay here. However if all you're gonna do is reject people's ways to make it competitive then it will b moved.

Take it down then. I put it here for help on it, not for the first person to say it's not competitive take it somewhere else... I appreciate you saying to look at your delver deck tho bud. Y'all have a good one.

Hey, firstly sorry if people came across hostile, they are only trying to help and maintain order. Secondly, this isnt exactly a competitive deck for a few reasons. To start, your mana base needs a serious upgrade, consider {Shivan Reef}, {Scalding Tarn}, {Steam Vents,} and/or {Sulfur Falls}. Secondly, your deck is a little wishy-washy, you have {Delver of Secrets} which is really a more tempo/aggro card in a deck with Keranos and Aetherling which are usually in a more control/long game type deck. I would suggest making the deck quicker, possibly adding {Young Pyromancer}, {Serum Visions}, {Gitaxian Probe}, {Spell Pierce}, {Grim Lavamancer} and {Snapcaster Mage}. Here is an article that can provide ideas: http://archive.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/td/297

Good luck with the deck.

Thank you, I will definitely look into those cards and give them a shot. I would love this deck to be competitive but I'm going with what my card store had at the moment that's really how I built it... I don't have a lot of old cards just lying around since I'm fairly new. But I'll just make a trip to a bigger town and look up more of these and Mulchy's as well from his other deck to help make it more competitive! Thanks brotha

Just a suggestion, you should try TCGplayer. You can get cards shipped to you from other stores across the US. It's also normally cheaper than traveling to a store to find a card.
