Welcome to my Grixis Delver deck

Hello, my name is piebye, and I have been playing magic the gathering for a couple years now. Since I started, I always had a strong attachment towards the aggro archetype, but after playing my faerie deck for a while now, I have started to grow a liking towards midrange decks, so I tried to make a midrange deck off of a very popular archetype: delver decks.

Main Deck

For starters, I obviously had to include a full playset of Delver of Secrets   and Lightning Bolts along with Brainstorm and Ponder. In any deck that runs red mana, Lightning Bolt is almost played as a 4-of due to its ridiculous versatility and damage that it can provide for one red mana. I am running 4 copies of Delver of Secrets   in order to maximize my chances of drawing my win condition early, along with Brainstorm and Ponder so that I can guarantee the transformations along with them being used for digging for Delver of Secrets  . I include Ponder in order to also dig for delver of secrets, but only put in 2 copies of it since it's power is slightly worse(debatable) compared to other digging cantrips. I included Counterspell on my board along with other cards in order to stall out the game a little or deny important cards. I also included one copy of Spell Snare since more copies would be too unreliable in this deck. The cards Terminate, Fatal Push, and Dismember for removal in my deck.
