Classic tempo deck, Delver of Secrets, Snapcaster Mage, and the not-so-typical Restoration Angel. Just enough threats for a very strong early game race with the means to finish off through burn or man-land (thank you Celestial Colonnade) if the game gets grindy. Play Delver of Secrets ASAP and keep the board clean. Vapor Snag, Path to Exile, Cryptic Command + Remand , and Electrolyze + Lightning Bolt + Lightning Helix make that possible. 25 Insectile Aberration   triggers means that even if Delvy does get reset (courtesy of Restoration Angel) he can still flip right back (which is usually better than letting him die to Doom Blade since the threats in this deck are sacred). Telling Time is the insurance policy, making sure Delvy performs consistently, and allowing late-game scry for Celestial Colonnade and Lightning Bolt.
