Deck Description

I'm still fairly new to magic and I'm trying to build a deck that I can take to FNM. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
The meta here is kind of hard to beat, it's 80% Esper control decks and the rest are Township Tokens with a couple fringe decks. I've tried a few different Delver builds and they just get consistently flattened.

Deck discussion for Grixis Control (Help?)

It seems like you're running very expensive creatures besides Delver, Snapcaster, and seemingly out of place Vault Skirge. There still is standard mana ramp, for example did you know Snapcaster or Vault Skirge are both disposable if you're going to drop something big? Say hello to Infernal Plunge, and hello to Grave Titan turn four. Whipflare answers tokens very nicely and Vault Skirge survives! I'm not a big fan of Tribute to hunger, with the new set tragic slip seems so much better. I cannot stress this enough, for every land you run means one less delver flip, one less answer when you need it. You could get rid of black, replace Titan with Chandra's Phoenix, Black sun's for Whipflare. etc. etc.
