Inspired by Gregory Hatch's Mono-Blue Martyr deck (thanks, reddit!) I realized that those Nivmagus Elementals I had been sitting on were much better than I initially thought.

So here's my attempt at a deck attempting to utilize that "weird" power. It's primarily a Delver deck with Suicide Black for the endgame strategy (Death's Shadow + Duskmantle Seer ), and some extra aggro/board control possible when combining Gigadrowse with Nivmagus Elemental.

This makes it sounds like it pulls several different directions, but it controls creatures on the board especially well and has aggro options if they're needed. It does very well so far in my apartment meta, but I know it would be rather underpowered elsewhere due to the weak mana base.

This is still a very new deck and I like it, but I may go Grixis or Izzet depending on how it plays and options I can think of for sideboarding. Let me know if you have any ideas and please leave a +1 if you like it!
