So here is my grisons delver deck. I need to add 2 cards to the maindeck and 2 to the sideboard but I am having a lot of trouble figuring out what to try.

I'm actually thinking I want some more 1 mana cantrips. Maybe {gitaxian probe}.

Progenitasm

 {Bitterblossom} could be good ! Maybe a singleton izzet charm? It isn't amazing on any mode however most early fliers have 2 or less toughness and being able to counter a spell can be relevant fr example a sphinx's revelation or a splinter twin !

MacheteMable

{pillar of flame} mainly deals with {voice of resurgence} and can dome people as well. That's also the reason there's only one.

{bitter blossom} I have thought a lot about the problem is the deck takes too much damage to be able to support it. We fetch and,shock a lot as well as.good,ok,{dark confidant}

Missing the 3 drop spot.. cut the pillar for an electrolyze, you're super low costed so all of your cards need to be OP or replace themselves

I'm weary of overloading on 3 cmc or more rads because of {dark confidant}. I had {electrolyze} for a while but didn't necessarily like it. I may try reading it since I still need 2 more cards.

So I am thinking about adding a {stomping ground} and then having {ancient grudge} in the board. Thoughts?

{Rakdos Charm} covers affinity, living end and other graveyard based decks

thats a really good point. That may just be a better fit. Thanks!

Anyone else have any idea for the final 2 main deck cards?

Charm also beats twin
ya I added them to the board. I figured it was a really good idea since my meta has twin and the occasional graveyard deck.

I'm just really perplexed on what the last 2 main board cards I should play are. I have {vapor snag} now but don't really like it.

Could try Lavamancer, or maybe tragic slip

And combo elves. Not a big threat, just showing reach.
