I hear yah brotha, I used to have it at 20 and was getting fludded quite heavely, and with my curve right now I dont necessarily need all the mana. Personally, Ive just ended up top decking when I had it at 24 (that cause ive been so focused on buffing that Runechanter's Pike.

Can't blame you, that pike becomes more dangerous than a sword at times. Shudder. Also, I like the idea behind the deck, first time I've seen a G/U Delver deck. Although it needs ponders also. That shit be crazy.

Just my two cents to contribute, you need 15 cards for the side board, maybe add in some draw spell and stuff? :D
April 10, 2012 12:30 p.m.
I havent really decided on the sideboard, haha putting some stuff in there sounds good though brotha. haha

Hey, I just wanted to say that I think this is a great idea, I'm going to work on a U/G Delver deck on MTGO! Here are my suggestions for you:
-2 Lumberknot
-2 Mulch
+2 Strangleroot Geist
You really want to run playset's of cards to ensure consistency, and those two are some of your hardest hitters, definite 4 ofs. Other than that, it looks good! +1 from me.

Strangleroot Geist is kinda colour heavy for a 2 colour deck, and if you want to maximise the potential of Runechanter's Pike i'd stick in more instants and sorceries. Tracker's Instincts would fit nicely considering it fills your grave, is G/U and saves the creatures you want for your hand. Rampant Growth's slots could be allocated to Thought Scour, Gitaxian Probe (scouts ahead for opponent's counterspells) or Ponder seeing as ponder is multi-functional in far more cases and i think rampant growth just supports cards like Dissipate and Strangleroot Geist that need two of a specific colour at 2 or 3 cmc. i'd swap 2 Dissipates with Frightful Delusions just so you can afford to be less stringent about how you spend your mana, and Autumn's Veil could be sideboarded as a counterspell's counterspell, Thrun, the Last Troll could replace Lumberknot. and one of the most valuable cards you could get your hands on for this is Snapcaster Mage, it practically increases the number of instant/sorcery spells in a deck.

Don't use Frightful Delusion, unless you are having some kind of delusion yourself.

Oh, and I meant to say good call on the Tracker's Instincts!

I like to be deluded :] its a nice card against smart players who know how to play against blue. when they'd normally hold back their more important spells and bait with a chump card. best case scenario is when both effects apply... but i dont count on that happening when i play the card in my deck

I love the help brotha's! I havent been near a internet source untill now, so sorry bout not gettin back sooner. Ive made these altercations after a wicked magic night, an havent yet took into concideration the wonderful wisdom both gheridarigaaz an KorApprentice have provided. Im getting on it right now!
April 14, 2012 3:29 a.m.
Ive gave all my Ponder's,Gitaxian Probe an Invisible Stalker's to my brother which was making a tweek'd Jon Finkle's delver deck, as I was making a tweek'd Brian Kibler's wolf run ramp deck (that has my Thrun, the Last Troll 's unfortunately.
Ive replaced Lumberknot for Dungeon Geists which has a far greater impact on cast. I enjoy having just 2 Invisible Stalker's , cause im able to do some damage with the delver-equip'd an then tap two to equip the pike to Invisible Stalker an do some nasty unblockable damage mid-late game.
Ive switched out the Mulch for Tracker's Instincts,Gut Shot is for removal as also for getting that extra instant in the grave. Same for Dismember which im of course using for a semi fatti, taking the 4damage to cast is much better then 5damage every turn from the fatti.
From my experience this deck does work quite well in paper brotha KorApprentice, so let me know how MtgO goes with it mate!
April 14, 2012 3:55 a.m.
I did have Frightful Delusion in this deck as for reason's you've stated brotha gheridarigaaz. Though I play quite a bit of multi-player battles, that have the mana to even tap the 3colorless from Mana Leak. An been having to wait on the tappedout cast.
Last multi there were Two u/g grave buff decks. Using creatures in the grave for cheap stuff like Boneyard Wurm. As well as Gnaw to the Bone which is seriously a underated common in those creature grave buff decks! Seeing a mate gain 16life for 8creatures in the grave an then flashback that for the 32life, is just ridiculious. Makes myself face to desk everytime!

Was thinking of a runechanter's deck too, and i just couldn't stop thinking about Blighted Agent. This infect oneshot with some draw/discarders + millers :O
Anyway, don't know if you want to take your deck this way, just thought i'd leave that here :D

You might want to add in more land at least to twenty. Maybe get rid of the frightful delusion?
