Delver alternatives for Saint Traft

Deck Help forum

Posted on May 3, 2012, 6:03 p.m. by Emrakool

I'm currently working on what will probably end up a U/B Delver deck and am wondering what are some good, affordable alternatives for Geist of Saint TraftMTG Card: Geist of Saint Traft? Unfortunately I got enough money tied up in other decks and Geist don't pay the bills.

I kinda like Havengul LichMTG Card: Havengul Lich with delver. You can cast your delver from the grave or your Snapcaster MageMTG Card: Snapcaster Mage and bring back even more instants and sorceries.

I might go with Phyrexian RagerMTG Card: Phyrexian Rager if you decide U/B, it's a very good utility, although I do think U/W versions are better and in that case I would play Mirran CrusaderMTG Card: Mirran Crusader

Will be using Runechanter's PikeMTG Card: Runechanter's Pike which would definitely work nice with the Crusaders. Though with black I'd have to decide if I want infect as an alternate win-con.

I would go ahead and get the geist. Honestly, the price is going nowhere but up. For delver, I can't think of any alt Geists

Invisible Stalker?

Am using Stalker. I'd thought about Dungeon GeistsMTG Card: Dungeon Geists but something with more offensive firepower at 3-4cc would be ideal.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll play it out and see how it goes. If at some point I can afford 2-3 Geists then I'll see about picking them up.
