Also I need help with a sideboard. I see alot of U/G infect, Wolf Run Ramp, other delvers, and Naya aggro decks.

Ill be honest i hate encouraging more delver decks, however you clearly built this yourself and i always respect the initiative to make sonething your own.
U/G infect loses to well placed {vapor snag}s, {gut shot}s, and even {mental mistep}. As for the others side board a couple {hero of bladehold} and {invisable stalker} to give you the unexpected aggressive option.

Thanks Kaleo.

Good idea with the sideboard. I'm think of side boarding sole artifacts as well. i.e. {Witchbane Orb} and maybe a few more cards to make some 4-ofs in the deck. Maybe some white and blue low drop enchantments like {Personal Sanctuary} or {Stoney Silence} or {Angelic Benediction}

Just updated the sideboard. I like it so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ghebert

BOOTY BUMP!

So I've updated the deck list after getting my 4th {Snapcaster Mage}. 😌

Anymore suggestions would be appreciated!

{Geist of Saint Traft}? {Delver of Secrets} is sideboard worthy at this point in most metas. I don't even run him anymore.

Toss it in there. At the very least it will force some sideboard answers after game 1 if the opponent sees it. They'll assume you have 2+. I would, anyways...

Ghebert

Bump...

And updated with newer sideboard. Any more ideas?

Dudecore

Drop {Mutagenic Growth} for {Spirit Mantle} if anything. You lose the extra +1/+1, but you force your {Geist of Saint Traft}.

Ghebert

Bump! 🔫🔫🔫

If you see another delver deck, deffinitly have the other couple {Mental Misstep}s in the sideboard. That card does work against other delvers. Practically shuts down half the deck
