It has such a good match up against delver I figured a few people would've picked it up at least.. What's the deal?

It's a good deck, but it's not as popular. Probably because it doesn't use blue.

It's not popular because it's an incredibly linear deck that's easy to disrupt. Pod has field day with {Orzhov Pontiff}, Twin can't just tempo it out, BGx just kills all the things, etc. It's just not a good deck.

It's called Martyr Proc. Tbh soul sisters is kinda dead but Martyr Proc is it's evolved form the Charizard to it's Charmander

This, {Proclamation of Rebirth} gives the deck a lot more recursion and reach and makes {Serra Ascendant} a royal pain in the ass without {Path to Exile}.

A good place to start for Martyr Proc: http://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=8508&d=248884&f=MO

Give honest though it's very meh IMO sure with a Delver/Burn heavy meta it's great RIGHT NOW but Martyr Proc is bad vs most other decks
