Spirit Delver deck

Deck Help forum

Recently I have been trying to build a form of Jon Finkle's Delver Spirits deck that he ran with in PT Dark Ascension and came in 3rd losing to Brian Kilbler's Wolf Run Ramp deck. I know the deck has not been played much in the meta game but I think it is a fun deck to play with and would like to give it some twists and make it more competitive again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! here is the deck delver-spirits

deck:delver-spirits-20? I too closely followed that tournament, and built my own deck, You Get to Burn the Delver. Looking at your deck, I think you aren't quite taking enough advantage of the availability of black removal. Vapor Snag is helpful for removing annoying blockers, but if you have something you want gone, why not simply Doom Blade? I know I'd rather kill a Primeval Titan or Inferno Titan than bounce it. Also, if you have access to Tragic Slip, why bother with Gut Shot? Next, the instant speed of Divine Offering is sweet (especially for swords, but that was a bigger deal in the pro tour, not usually people's local game shops), but Revoke Existence is both more versatile and more satisfying against many of the more commonly played artifacts. Destroying a Solemn Simulacrum or, even worse, a Wurmcoil Engine, always sucks. Finally, I've found Runechanter's Pike works so well with a Delver.

Phew. So yeah, I like your deck, and by no means should you do all what I suggested (especially because I have no idea what your meta is), but if you can't tell, I've spent way too much time fine-tuning my Delver of Spirits deck!
