 {Simic Charm}  {Giant Growth}  {Titanic Growth}  {Rancor}  {Vampire Nighthawk} some kind of control like  {Ultimate Price} or  {Victim of Night} probably  {Syncopate}. Personally I like U/G delver if you couldn't already tell lol, but splash black for removal could definitely be handy.

Black for deathrite shaman and dusk mantle seer

So you're thinking less aggro delver and more midrange/control? What's your main idea for the deck?

Creature ideas: {cloudfin raptor} and {judge's familiar} for cheap flyers, and {augur of bolas} to dig into your deck. Possibly a few {evolving wilds} for the shuffle after an augur.

I'm considering this list for creatures
Delver x4
Deathrite Shaman x4
Snapcaster x4
Duskmantle Seer x2
Possibly only 21 lands, and a bunch of instants and sorceries lol, with possibly 1-2 alchemist refuge

Drop in {immortal servitude}. Maybe as a one of. This has inspired me to brew a BUG delver deck.

Return 3 delvers and a deathrite for 4 mana, yes please xD

The chances of finding someone trading snapcaster is so slim tho... I have trouble finding anyone trading staples.. Just cards that are good now but gonna fall off when they rotate out

{quiron dryad} and {hands of binding} with other low cost spells and evasive dudes. Also dont run delver, he doesnt impact the game. Now if you really want a delver deck, great go for it. If you want a competitive delver esque deck then dont use delver, the loss of {ponder} and {gitaxian probe} was too much for delver to remain competitive in standard.

Yeah it's probably going to be more of a for funzies type deck than anything. Just for fnm giggles (: I like the idea though,

I've been dry running through a BUG delver build and {faerie imposter} is a suitable replacement for {delver of secrets} once rotation hits. He can't start putting in work until T3 but we don't have many options for 1 CMC flyers right now.

Drew up a rough list with creatures being delver deathrite shaman dungeon geist and snpcaster. Thinking about that faerie though I can easily use then bounce the deathrite shaman.

Yah that's my thought behind it. Target deathrite because 1) you can immediately put it back into play 2) I wouldn't use it much in combat anyways and 3) there's not much in the way of graveyards on T2 anyways. Also targeting snapcaster would be pretty sweet.
