The pauper version of the modern Grixis Delver, where not all that many cards change.
Cantrips: Gitaxian Probe and Thought Scour, both work well with the new guy Thermo-Alchemist, and milling yourself with scour helps pay for Gurmag Angler (you can get lucky and have have one out by turn 2 with a thought scour on turn 1 and then another on turn 2).
Counter magic: Counterspell and Mana Leak, pretty self explanatory.
Creatures: Delver of Secrets
, the decks name sake. Gurmag Angler can be dropped for 1 pretty easily.And lastly the new star of the show, Thermo-Alchemist we can greatly benefit from his ability, and is much easier to use get in damage than prowess type abilities.
Fuel: Thought Scour, Taigam's Scheming, and Evolving Wilds all act as fuel for the best card in the format Gurmag Angler.
Removal/Disruption: this color combo has some of the best removal cards around. Doom Blade is nice and cheap, but of course it's useless when you're playing against mono black. Duress, the most important thing for delver to do is to keep the opponent from stopping your threats. duress removes their removal, and all the other removal stops their threats. Grasp of Darkness can still kill creatures when your opponent makes their threats indestructible(though the only deck that typically does that is bogles in which you would have to just make them sacrifice it), but it is good removal in general. Lightning Bolt pretty obvious, you can't run red without a playset. Terminate is a kill spell with no draw backs, definitely worth the money to get it. Lastly, Vapor Snag, slows the opponent and reduces their life total.
