I don't think Zur the Enchanter would be a great choice...He is good in that he gives another tutor for Phyrexian Unlife and a potential Detention Sphere, or other enchantment, but overall his other uses are very limited. He is rather underwhelming as an attacker save for his tutoring, but at least he has a form of evasion so is less likely to die to a block+Bolt...

well if we run him then we can take out one Idyllic Tutor and maybe run more Time of Need- Zur the Enchanter allows us to get like you said unlife, d-sphere (if we run it main deck), or arena (this would be my first target usually, it is perfect with the Death's Shadow start). As you can tell I like options.
December 14, 2014 11:21 p.m.
Hmm that's true. He may be more useful than I'd originally thought.
December 14, 2014 11:22 p.m.
also if we mainboard Suppression Field or Stony Silence, Zur the Enchanter is amazing.
December 14, 2014 11:23 p.m.
No, those are definitely SB cards. We can't load the mainboard with too many non-instant/sorcery because of Delver of Secrets Flip, even as singletons. The tutoring lets us run them as singletons in SB though, which is phenomenal because it allows more variety in the SB.

thats what I meant btw. Tomorrow we will get everyone's opinion on the addition of Zur, if we do include him tho, we can take out one or even both Idyllic Tutor(s).
December 14, 2014 11:31 p.m.
I wouldn't want to take out both, but one of them could definitely be cut.
December 14, 2014 11:34 p.m.
I stayed up all night testing!!!!!! xD I finally found the correct number of everything! I fixed it up to be able to with the last edited version to go 4-0! I'll put the list on here and you're going to respect it! Every last bit of it, not in the mood to hear a no. -.-

I really hadn't thought of that one when building. @klone13
December 15, 2014 1:23 p.m.
Cut the 1 Remand main board for Idyllic Tutor and the 1 Phyrexian Unlife SB for Zur the Enchanter as I actually really like the idea of him. Also if you're wondering why the Arena's are SB is because I found too many matches against B/G/X where they were mainboarding 4x Abrupt Decay's hince the 4 Surgical Extraction + Thoughtseize . I'll post the SB Tips in a second.

A Deadly Delver Volume 2 Playtest
Modern
SCORE: 0 | 0 COMMENTS | 1 VIEWSKiora_Fan-01, this is like your deck with a few tweaks.
December 15, 2014 1:43 p.m.
Control: I'd take out our removal and counters and bring in all the card advantage as possible so -2 Dismember, -2 Mana Leak, -2 Spell Pierce for +2 Bitterblossom +2 Phyrexian Arena, +1 Zur the Enchanter and +1 Remand
B/G/X: I wish I knew, I only played it before the final version of me going 4-0... Sorry guys, I'll figure it out. I know for sure Zur the Enchanter is coming in though.
Delver Variants: Our removal is just completely unnecessary along with remand as they can just cast it again and our blossoms get us so much value against the 3/2 flyer and pyro tokens. -2 Dismember, -1 Remand for +2 Bitterblossom and +1 Spell Pierce. Note: If it goes to G3 just to be safe bring in D-Sphere's.
This is really all I got so far from what I've played, but I'm sure i can come up with more later.
December 15, 2014 1:45 p.m.
the deck that I created, I will be testing as much as possible on untap.
December 15, 2014 1:48 p.m.
I main-boarded Zur the Enchanter but I will test it out, he may move to sideboard. Also Wheel of Sun and Moon is great sideboard card.

Not my best work, but here is my version of the deck:

If we add my previous suggestions I think the deck would be a lot more fun to play.
