This is my take on delver.

I was looking back at my old old illusion lists and I wanted to give delver the grand treatment that worked so well with illusions.

[Maximo]

Drogskol captains affect spirits, not illusions. Use {Lord of the Unreal}.

[Maximo]

For style points, use an Image on your own lord!

[Godraw]

The idea is not to remake illusions it is to take the spirt delver style deck and give it the grand architect treatment.

The captians interaction is with it's self and also the Phantasmal image.
Two captains gives you two 3/3 hexproof and a illusion copying a captain is a hexproof 3/3 flyer.

The captain is a perfect lord and replacement for the lord of the unreal.

This deck idea takes what I find to be the stongest sides of the new spirt delver decks and the old grand illusion decks.

Hmm interesting take on a deck style.. Keep us in the loop for how well it works

[Alaskanice]

Maybe add a couple {Geist of saint traft}. Those would work well with the +1/+1 from both captains and architects.

[Greg54js]

You could use {xenograft} make all of your creatures spirits then they all get the bonus +1/1 and hexproof

[Godraw]

I added the saint and stopes getexian probe and the caged sun the add in lingering souls.

I think this should help things out a bit

[Godraw]

I want the probe so I dropped 2 islands and put two probes back in.

[Godraw]

I am wondering about the side board for this build ...  Any help

[Sagemaster]

{Treasure Mage} to bring wurm coil to your hand at which point if you have out delver and an architect you could play both wurmcoil and the mage

[Godraw]

I ended up cuting the captain and put in treasure Mage in his slot.

I love the pressure that the captain adds but the Mage will help with Wurm coil.

Should put 1 {swamp} in case you need to fetch it for lingering souls.

[Godraw]

Should put 1 {swamp} in case you need to fetch it for lingering souls.

. Well should I evern play lingering souls now with out the captains
