This deck is dirt cheap and doesnt seem that bad at all. It is more of a break into legacy deck it a start to eventually make it a real deal mono blue wizard or blue white delver/stoneblade deck

I'd lean towards the blue deck. It'd be the easiest to upgrade as you get cards I would think.

[Mikefrompluto]

I'd say the blue deck as well.

Affinity all day!!! Lands are the only diff between modern and legacy. U can play 2 diff formats with the same deck.  That makes it the most cost effective.

That is a good point, however I think the blue deck is pretty well Modern legal also.

Except for {ponder} and {brainstorm}, delver's best friends

Bump... I like these decks, and may tweak them to my own style.  Thanks.

[Dmreiss]

And... Why is ponder banned in Modern?

Thank you and ponder is banned because if it wasnt combo would be too good

[Dmreiss]

Looking at the Affinity deck... I am going to put in 3  {Mishra's Factory}.  What do you think I should take out?  And why not 4 of them... Because I only have 3!
