Deck Description

Delay is the meme card that actually works! Counters everything for 3 turns in what is essentially a tempo deck. However, Spell Pierce is quite good right now so feel free to use that in its place for protecting Delver.

Another budget replacement for monkey could be Goblin Guide and replace Delay with Bolt for a more aggro approach, just a thought.

How to Play

Note that there is no cantrips here to help flip Delver so you need to rely on DRC surveil and stacking your Bauble and Delver triggers in the right order.

There are 12 fetch lands, 5 shock lands, 4 thoughtseize and even dismember. Thats plenty of life loss i think.
Not so sure about Delay, I'd rather play 4 Dress Down here.

Nixed the Dismember after playtesting for the 4th Iteration, card is just to darn good! Delay is a "fun of" card that usually works as a Counterspell for 1Ux, in a Delver deck. Is it "premium"? Probably not but plenty good and loads of fun! :)
Oh, and this is not GDS of old. This is more grindy then the 2 card combo deck of a couple of years ago! (Oh yea, Lurrus!)
