The website is www.pucatrade.com
Here is a very good guide that I found to using it. http://www.gatheringmagic.com/nickdavis-012114-pucatrade-quickstart-guide/
I have found that the google chrome page activity extension described on the second link is the key to using the site. The strange thing about the website is that it is a race to send your cards away. Since it is generally hard to sell your cards for full value, people jump at the chance to be able to send their cards away for the puca points, since they can be redeemed for almost anything.

This deck is also very strong.I think that Spell Pierce might be better than Negate here. Costing only U is a big advantage, although Negate is probably better things to go to late game. I am surprised that you are not running one of your Swords. If you stick one on a spirt flyer you are hard to beat. Also, Dismember might be good here, as it kills almost everything and is flexible to cast. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=230082

Just like with the Grisix one I think you should look at Inquisition of Kozilek.
Besides that the other thing that would really help you are the Shock lands, since you can grab them with your fetch lands. http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Shock_lands

The fact that Water Grave counts as a Island and a Swamp is what makes it so good. You can always fetch the exact colors you need if you have some of these and some Fountains. This is why they are better than the Caves and the Shores.

Hi this is Brent. Looks like a strong deck. Olvia gives it a strong late game if the game starts to stall, and it seems like you have enough removal and disruption to get the game to that point if you opponent has answers to your delver. I would recommend Inquisition of Kozilek your discard spell. It will hit almost anything because modern is such a fast format. If it does not hit it then that spell is probably in Leak range anyway. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=193428

I am really looking forward to playing. It will be a blast.

I am also working on a Delver Deck in UR.
http://www.mtgvault.com/drunkindrublic/decks/ur-delver/

I have (or will soon have) most of the cards in the main-board at this point. The thing that is missing to take it to the next level is more fetch lands. If you have enough fetch lands Treasure Cruise becomes becomes an Ancestral Recall at sorcery speed. The card is so broken I would not be surprised if it gets banned in Modern and Vintage soon, but I will am going to play with it until it does :). The nice thing about the delver decks is that they can be tweaked to be competitive in Legacy, although trying to make it a Tier 1 legacy deck is very expensive. http://www.mtgtop8.com/archetype?a=213&meta=39&f=LE

My modern UR list is inspired (stolen?) by LSV and you can watch him play it some here: http://www.channelfireball.com/videos/channel-lsv-modern-ur-delver-3/

I played in a Modern FNM last night, but with a budget Goblin Deck. I went 2-2, beating some people who had Individual cards worth 6 times the cost of the whole deck. If we try playing Modern or Legacy competitively sometime we should expect to see a good deal of Tarmogyf: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=136142
