Notes:
For the past month or so I have been testing this deck in the hopes of taking it to a FNM here soon I think I have the deck exactly where I want it. It is tailored to my local thats why there are some odd techs. The deck can play as a speeding deck or a nice tempo deck as most delver decks do. The only thing I'm not liking about the deck is its aggro match ups but I think I have fixed that problem.

I really like playing this deck but I find that I'm really reliant on delver for the kill so it causes in consistency. I tried just about every new dragons maze card in here and didn't like any of the except  {Turn // Burn} which found its way to my side board. I mainly want 1 good medium cost card that can be a great win con or combos great with  {Runechanter's Pike}. Any suggestions?

How about {guttersnipe}?

{Invisible Stalker}

But only if you consider it budget.

I would run 4 of this guy. He will add so much consistency to your deck.

Also put 2 {Talrand, Sky Summoner} in the sideboard to help against those agro weenie or token decks.

Dude... I can't believe no one has brought up {izzet charm} yet. 3-4 of those is a MUST. Certainly one of the top 3 most usable charms.

 {Reckless Waif} doesn't sound bad but I wish it had evasion like delver and I feel like he flips back over too easy. I have been meaning to try out  {Invisible Stalker} for a while now but never really got to it he seems like the top add in now. I'm not sure about  {Guttersnipe} I might try him but he seems meh. And I've tested  {Izzet Charm} a lot and don't like it at all.

 {Nivix Cyclops}.........budget also.

So much fail..... For starters {Guttersnipe} is great in a deck like this. And how can you not like {izzet charm}? I don't know if you've ever played standard competitively, but the versatility that card offers is unparalleled. How can you possibly justify 4 {searing spears} but not use any {izzet charms}? It's a counter, a burn spell, and a faithless looting all in one!

First of that was a little bit rude and really don't like your tone. I have my own opinion you don't have to go bashing them. Second I have been play testing this deck a lot probably a lot more than you have so I know what I'm talking about. Third I have plenty oh standard meta experience and I know just how fast it is right now so I am adapting my deck to account for then speed which is why I don't play guttersnipe it's too slow. So don't go bashing someone's ideas before you have the facts. Say your opinion, that's all.

Updated the deck it's in it's final draft there might be some tweaks here and there but so far I love playing it
