This deck is used to abuse Duskmantle Seer, which despite what people are saying, is quite a powerful card and finisher. Delver of Secrets   might not be very good right now, but he's not plain bad and in this build actually good.

The deck aims to land an efficient threat:Geist of Saint Traft, flipped Delver of Secrets  , and Duskmantle Seer then back it up with counterspells: Syncopate , Spell Rupture , Negate, and maybe Dispel and some removal: Ultimate Price , Feeling of Dread , Dramatic Rescue (also for the life-gain, which is actually relavent), and Azorius Charm.

If you get to low life with this deck, Azorius Charm suddenly becomes a card that can gain you 10-15 life in one swing.

The graveyard part of this deck is a minor aspect, but the two Runechanter's Pike s paired up with four Thought Scours and two Moorland Haunt s is quite a beating. The Snapcaster Mages are there to replay your awesome cards!

Vault of the Archangel is a really good follow-up to a turn four seer, to gain some life and just kill your opponent.

I really think this deck can be good, just needs some help getting past the really aggressive decks, as it can't really race them well. It also can fight through control because each creature is a very big threat on its own.

Will do a sideboard guide when i get the chance.

Thanks for reading, leave your thoughts!

PS: do you guys thing grixis would be better for some straight burn, or even BUg for Deathrite Shaman and Abrupt Decay.
