I can see the day of judgements in the SB but this deck is more Aggro and something more aggressive should fill that spot IMHO

Yeah I would also sb them and put in 4x {Stormbound Geist} which would work well with your lords, and still be able to pull them back with your sun titans after they die (for the second time)

Validan

I did seriously consider {stormbound Geist} in here I just liked the defense I got with day of judgment, I'll give it a shot though and swap it

Validan

If I have the option of taking out 2 day of judgment and swapping them for either sun Titan or evil twin what would the suggestion be?

What about {Phantasmal Image}?  One of my fav cards.  He is awesome to copy the captain and he combos well with Sun Titan, as you already know.  However, that drops you to 20 cards that can flip the delver so.....

I would take out the twin it's sub par to suntitan
When you day you kill your guys suntitan can get them back the twin can't.

That's what I've got {cryptoplasms} for, I like the versatility they have to change every turn if I want and they act as a budget {phantasmal image}

Good point.  Maybe run 2 {gitaxian probe} they are an awesome card in any deck.  They really reduce the size of a 60 card deck by how ever many you put in and here is why.  You pay two life to cast it so it does not tie up your mana, it lets you see opponents hand so that is a big plus, and then it replaces itself by allowing you to draw a card.  The fact that it does all this and replaces itself make it very versatile.....plus it lets you see what to hold out for with your {mana leak}.   Ohh and it helps your delver flipping odds :)

Validan

Yeah I definitely see the uses in that but what would I replace?

2 or 4 {midnight haunting} dare I say?  I mean you have 4 lingering souls, 4 cackling counterpart, and 16 creatures so that is plenty.  The probe will give you that little bit of card advantage.  Plus you see their hand which will clue you in on how to play your hand.  For example, you may have the DoJ in hand and the probe shows a ton of creatures in your opponents hand.....so now you sit back, let em dump their creatures on the board, you sit back and play your DoJ and take control of the board with a full hand.  The probe will at least let you know what to wait and counter for at a minimum.

Validan

I gotta get my hands on some of those!

I tested this deck out Saturday an it worked great! Definitely keeping in gitaxian probes!
