U/B land that turns into creature forgot the name of it

1 Kolaghan command as well, maybe.

{creeping tar pit}? Seems good but it might stop me from casting turn one delver or inquisition or any can trip, so I'm trying to not play too many tap lands, when I get the deck together IRL I'll try to acquire two of those too and see how they work out. What would you cut for command?

I dunno. I really like angler, especially in a deck with thoughtscour and half of it's spells go to the GY instantly

That's a fair point. When dimir overlord plays his delver deck it sorta runs out of steam. Tar pit would definitely help with that.

IMO jeskai in modern shouldn't be a delver deck. That's the kinda deck that has more instants and sorceries than average, but not enough to make delver good. It has some solid threats in geist and colonnade and what not but path isn't very good in delver, you want to keep your opponents behind, and path is a card for coming back from behind, not staying ahead.

You have swayed me to change my list for this Friday to Grixis.  Going to list it now as FNM Grixis Delver

Alright so I've done some tweaking and I like the main deck this way I think. Anyone have some good sideboard options? I'm definitely putting in smash to smitereens for chalice

Smash is bad, just play more Kolaghan's commands

Command is way better

Fair point. No more smash. Command it is.
