ok so there's this win-a-box modern tournament on Friday. I don't know what to play. I'm thinking Hulk Combo, Affinity, or Murican control

whichever deck you're most comfortable with, but into a blind meta i'd pick affinity.
Go affinity or Murica

I just realised my Murica deck is not currently together. Is Affinity bad against Delver?
Affinity, (I play delver) has a pretty good matchup against me. Delver is fast, but Affinity tends to be faster.

I dunno I might favor delver just a little bit because delver can just bolt or forked bolt or electrolyze their threat with a cranial plating on it, and you can do the same in response to an arc bound ravager being sacced to itself which can be devastating for affinity. Also if ravage gets out of hand you are in a bit of a situation but nothing huge because you can just chump with your pyromancer tokens until you find a vapor snag.
You can't bolt {Arcbound Ravager} in response to saccing itself - it's already gone as the sacrifice the the cost of the ability.
Griffin he means like ill sac ravager to put 4 counters on vault skirge. In response delver bolts the scourge
Affinity has a great Delver matchup, if you can throw around {Cranial Plating} for {B}{B} or stick a {Vault Skirge} early. I've beaten Delver multiple times with my affinity deck. It's not an easy matchup but it's winnable. {Whipflare} is your friend.
Ok so my friend asked to use one of my decks for the game and there's no way I was letting him use my hulk deck so he's using affinity...
Got 6th overall. Hulk lost to Bloom Titan twice
I honestly think pod or rock have the best match ups in this format. Delver hates chalice of the void, and siege rhino. Burn hates everyone, and the biggest worry you have is scape shift or bloo moon side boarding in blood moon, but you have answers to that if you build your sideboard right. Angel pod dies to your removal, and rogue decks are rogue for a reason.
Try Pyromancer Ascension storm?
