      Hey!, I'm having a lot of fun playing U/B Delver and I'm looking for any possible feedback/Suggestions on my list.

      4 delver of secrets
      2 void snare
      3 dismember
      4 street wraith
      4 reanimate
      2 faerie macabre
      1 null rod
      4 wasteland
      1 strip mine
      3 underground sea
      4 polluted delta
      4 misty rain forest
      1 island
      1 swamp
      1 tasigur, the golden fang
      4 force of will
      4 mental misstep
      1 flusterstorm
      4 preordain
      1 brainstorm
      1 time walk
      1 ancestral recall
      1 black lotus
      1 mox sapphire
      1 mox jet
      1 treasure cruise
      1 dig through time

      The reanimates combo with the cycling cards and help bolster the small creature plan. Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

        Why void Snare. What am I missing?

        Also, is zero really the right number of Snapcasters here?

        Brian Kelly Freudian self-analysis of the day:
        I like to express the id that a player would feel without the superego of being like, "oh you have to be nice."

          I would also consider upping the number of faerie macabre and playing unearth instead of reanimate, it seems like you do yourself a lot of damage when you are playing against shops between reanimate and street wraith.

          It is a cool idea though, there is that 5/5 with hexproof from a recent set that cycles for U, that people play with exhume in pauper sometimes (wouldn't work with unearth, but still seems sort of interesting.

          I would echo, playing snapcaster seems good and void snare seems odd?

              Not sure if this is a direction you want to go, but I feel like you're already 2/3rds of the way to supporting some [[Death's Shadow]] in this deck. I tried a U/B Delver+Shadow deck online before, it was very rough but had potential.

                I have a playset of Unearth. The problem with them is [[Faerie Macabre]] don't do enough on their own to make that strategy worth while. Street Wraith are at least CA neutral, so your only down one card when you Reanimate it. I can't find that cycling creature.
                I totally dropped the ball on Snap Caster Mage. Also, I forgot to point out that theres no tutors because they kind of steal tempo from you in this deck.
                I'll give Bitterblossom a try.
                [[Void Snare]] is removal against everything in the format including Oath of Druids.
                Deaths shadow is something I tried to stay away from but may be the direction the deck needs to take.
                Any thoughts on baby Jace, or Gurmag Angler?

                  I haven't tested it in a while but I'll post my list and maybe you can get some new ideas.

                  4 delver of secrets
                  4 snapcaster mage
                  4 dark confidant
                  4 misstep
                  4 preordain
                  4 thoughtseize
                  3 fatal push
                  1 ponder
                  1 brainstorm
                  1 gitaxian probe
                  1 flusterstorm
                  1 ancestral recall
                  1 hurkyl's recall
                  1 time walk
                  1 null rod
                  1 demonic tutor
                  1 JTMS
                  4 force
                  1 sapphire
                  1 jet
                  1 lotus
                  4 polluted delta
                  1 misty rainforest
                  4 underground sea
                  2 island
                  1 swamp
                  1 strip mine
                  2 wasteland
                  1 library of alexandria

                  Giving up on treasure cruise and dig through time sucks but I've really liked bob. Between bob, snapcaster and delver you can assemble a nice attack force. Thoughtseize works great clearing the way for bob and with snapcaster to rip apart the opponent's hand.
