This is my post rotation standard deck. The power level of delve is so off the charts, so I decided to build a deck around it. {Taigam's Scheming} is a powerhouse here, allowing me to dump a bunch of stuff, including itself, into the bin, and still being able to have great card selection.

Also, if you have an extra Tasigur lying around, let me know. Want to get my hands on some of those.

You're gunna want 4 Deltas

And no offense but this seems bad to me delve isn't a mechanic that synergizes with itself. I mean sure Sidisi and scheming help but I just don't like a mono delve strategy bc you delve for a Tasigur they kill the Tasigur and now what? You have to wait to reload idk just my 2¢

Thought about this. Like I said, cards like {Taigams Scheming} help me reload. But, you are right, if I can't find one, it does leave me stuck. Something like {Sultai Ascendency} for a steady income of cards to the bin? {Monastary Siege}?

{Rakshasa vizier} seems pretty bad. 5 mana for something that will basically just be big and get chump blocked, it'll just eat a downfall or an utter end or whatever

I really liked {Sultai Ascendancy} when I was running it. {Nyx Weaver} is an option as well.

{Sultai Ascendency} {Monastery Siege} and then add {Commune with the Gods}. Good way to get cards in yard
