Is 4 waste reliable in 3 colour? Seems like your mana may not be as consistent.

It's typical for most delver decks. That said, I'm not sure how in love I am with snapcaster in {Daze} decks. I don't know what would replace it with other than {Deathrite Shaman}, but then you have to go into another color.

Thought about that. I don't think I *need* green to add deathrite. Think it's worth it? 4 deathrite and cut the snap and grim lava mancers.

I know there have been lists doing that in the past that have done well. Green splash would basically be free, just add a bayou or trop, for the rare life gain. Would also let you side in Loam and abrupt decay.

I dunno, I really love delver and pyromancer, it's just finding 4 more threats is tricky. Maybe 2 {Dark Confidant} in place of snap?

What do you think of  {Goblin Guide} in that spot?

I like guide, though at that point the deck kind of wants to turn into just U/R burn. No harm in trying both ways and seeing what happens

The honest truth for adding black is that I want to cast  {Cabal Therapy} while I have a  {Young Pyromancer} in play. ;-)

Completely justified. And you get to probe them before hard casting it of course : )

I could see fitting a  {Sword of Fire and Ice} or an  {Umezawa's Jitte} in here to beef up your delver or your pyromancer.
