U/R delver has been a favorite archetype of mine for a while, and I brewed a new batch for the fall since Opt was printed into modern, which improves card selection options. Being at instant speed is a great advantage, as we can cast it while holding up Mana Leak on turn 2. I stayed away from Snapcaster Mage in this build because of cost and am running 2 of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   instead. This deck could definitely be tweaked to run up to 4 Snapcaster budget permitting, the deck could use it. I just don't have them on hand at the moment.

I have thought about running Hieroglyphic Illumination for extra card draw, the ability to cycle for blue lets me be comfortable playing a 4-drop. Other possible changes include more burn and counter slots.
