First, you can't have 8  {Scalding Tarn}. ;-) I assume you meant 4 + 4  {Misty Rainforest}?

Haha whoops!  The second set just isn't supposed to be there. I'm thinking I'll stick to just the four tarns and no misties to try and keep the cost down a bit. Fetches are cheaper on MtGO, but not by a whole lot.

I know you already said you don't like the lava mancers but keep in mind, less fetches means lava mancers are worse. Consider  {Goblin Guide} maybe for an aggressive 1 drop?

There are a lot of can trip cards and burn spells, so Lavamancers would only be slightly worse, I think. I may try the guide though. I don't know how I feel about giving them potential draws for an early beater, though. On the flip side, an aggressive beater is pretty solid, especially with Delver beating for (hopefully) three alongside.

Thanks for the suggestion!  You and Deathly are the two I was expecting haha. Just waiting on Deathly to point out where I'm being stupid at haha 😄

Also, maybe  {Magma Spray} over {Pillar of Flame}. Can't go to the dome but instant speed is nice.

Thanks for reminding me!  That was actually something I had considered. I was thinking another one or two SB for pod, as well.

Yeah, that deck deserves main deck instant speed hate, I think. Though 1/100 games you may lose if you could have just dealt 2 points of damage to your opponent instead. Haha

Haha the hope is that the extra two points isn't necessary with it being a one-of maindeck :P

Should I bump my Delver list?

You could use {polluted delta} for fetches 5-8 now that it's in Khans if you want.

But keep in mind that with Snappy Snoops that extra 2 to the done becomes an extra 4!!

Also I know against preference but Grim Lavamancer is an allstar! Please give home a chance!!

If I were to splash white for {Geist of Saint Traft}, would that be worth changing the mana base around or is GoST not good enough to merit a splash?  I want to play him, but I don't want to spend the money to build UWR Midrange/control yet haha.
