May as well use {gitaxian probe} over {visions of the beyond}....chances are that you will not see a 20 card GY.  I would also recommend {grim lavamancer} over {spikeshot elder} cuz of tge speed of use and effectiveness but the lavamancer takes power from the pike so it's a toss up really.  I get that the spikeshot could be equipped to deal a lot of dmg but the is something that will rarely happen and I would lay in wait for you to equip it then just kill the elder before you could use him.  I would also drop the Titan and the Planeswalker for 4 {thunderous wraith} but that's me.

I have a Delver deck in Other that works great if you wanna check it out.

I checked your deck out, but it's hard to compare because it's legacy, I see your point in your suggestions except the one about {thunderous wrath}, could you explain?

The miracle cost of 1 mana to do 5 dmg is just awesome.....that is 25% of their life.  Now if you have it in hand then it is an easy discard target for {faithless looting}.

I get your point about comparing to legacy but the deck ideas are the same.  Fast creatures, helpful equipment, card drawing, countering, and DD.  Another creature I like in Standard R/U delver is {Stromkirk noble} it is just another early threat that your opponent must deal with.

I was also going to recommend the {stormkirk noble} and might consider {galvanic blast} for spot creature removal. Might do a {dungon Geist} instead of the Titan incase you can't stop a big threat from dropping.

I like the suggestions, keep them coming, I don't run {dungeon Geist} because I'm looking for tame winners such as the Titan, I rarely miss a land drop because the whole point of this deck is to draw a sh*t ton of cards, which also gets me to the Titan!
