So .. I can't figure out how to use this stupid thing ..so I'm afraid I won't be posting the deck. But I need ideas for how this style of deck will beat delver. Some key cards ? This is for competitive magic, the deck doesnt lose to anything exept delver...which it goes 50/50 with ...I NEED HELP TO KILL THE ARMY OF GEISTS AND INSECTS WEILDING SWORDS. so yeah any tips would be much appreciated (:

{devastation tide}? {black sun's zenith} while it's still legal. That's all I got

Thorn

{Tribute to hunger}
{Curse of death's Hold}
{Rolling Temblor}
{Day of Judgement}
{Mana Leak} ;)
{Killing Wave} (kinda)

Elitehalo360

{tragic slip}
{galavanic blast}
{shock}
{slag storm}
{vapor snag}

This i the situation ive been dealing with since avacyn release. I finally found answer in bonfire and second guess. Also steelhellkite destroys delver decks if you can keep it alive.

Bonfire and slagstorm ..I think that'll be a huge help d: thanks to everyone! Does anyone think control decks will be viable without mana leak?

If you're running 4 {mana leaks} and 2-3 {dissipates} with 4 {snapcaster mage}..I'd say you have an advantage.

4x {ratchet bomb}
Or use the black spells that make them sac creatures. Some already mentioned.

Or you can run lots of artifact destruction if that's possible in those colours.

Control is more viable without counters right now. Wrath is super powerful agains the format right now but counters arent very effective.

I wouldn't  agree with this.

There is 1 day of judgement. Unless you mean terminus, blasphemous act, black suns zenith. All of which are pretty spendy.

There is a reason why delver and esper control are so popular, blue runs counters and it makes the difference. Cheap 1U counter does it. Snap= u3 counter

Esper control can't win in this format though, delver walks right over it.. Blacks suns is not spendy in this deck I don't find because there is 27 land in the deck and I'm dropping one every turn

Thorn

{Elesh Norn} (lady gaga)
