Title: Delver confusion
Post by: BadLuckIrish on April 17, 2012, 12:20:11 PM
Alright whats with the {Delver of Secrets}?
Exactly why is he so amazing? To have a 3/2 on turn 2? O.o Not exactly that great according with me and a friend of mine.

How many 3/2 flyers can you have in play on turn 2 that can attack without spending mana on turn 2?

I hope that answers the question.

Edit:  Highly competitive decks generally have 2 things in common...low mana cost and finishing an opponent quick.  Delver fits both those

I guess its just because of i think of playing against it in my B/U zombie deck which is just littered with killing spells.

Delver should also be running instants like {Mana Leak}, which it can play on it's T2.

80% of the time flying hits the player cause they have no legal blockers.

It's not such much delver as itself, it's the free hits that get you while they set up.

  Six damage early game is easier that six damage late game.

So i just played a delver deck. Early aggro but still no problem. Mostly because of a turn 5 {Skaab Ruinator} without the casting side effect :/ idk seems interesting though
