U/W Delver vs. U/R Delver
Deck Help forum

I have a quick question. Lately my magic group created a red-blue delver deck that seems to be incredible at any given moment. But, at my local FNM/magic store, some people believe that U/W delver is a way better choice, and that Red-Blue Delver would only be good in Legacy (I think thats what game type he said), but I cannot see why. Although white has a geist, red has so much control and snaps can double dip any burn spells. Can anyone help me in clarifying why U/W is better?
i decided to go U/B delver after the release of cavern.. the option to use sacrifice abilities shine vs things with hexproof. And until they release the wastelands, its very nice to have acces to Go for the Throat effects.
I just feel using red as control is more situational, and will sumtimes cost you your card advantage when you have to remove a creature with too much toughness.
U/R delver vs weenieU/B delver vs fatties (i see alot of these decks lately)U/W delver for a more allaround version.U/G delver agro could be interesting aswell, but i havent rly looked into it.
the problem with delver decks is the amount of flickering,.. your delver is more often than not a 1/1 these days. and you can no longer be sure that you can counter enemy creatures,.. i feel that this set have been aimed towards killing delver decks.

because U/W have 8 dual lands (4 seachrome+4glacial) while U/R only have 4 (4 sulfur falls). It's all about how solid your manabase is.
if U/R got a new fetchland, duals, and maybe multicolor izzet spells, etc, then it'll be better than U/W in my opinion.

It was only a joke. That would be one crazy manabase!

aint sure bout it but i think it has something to do with Witchbane Orb
(even if it was played it should be counterd but still). furthermore for some reason i have lot les trouble playing against U/R delvers and actually winnning then from U/W.
other think could be cos the geist have hexproof+more force cus the 4/4flyer combined with the new Cavern of Souls
its realy hard to ever remove it.
while U/R needs burn spells instead of things for more selfdefence.
nontheless delvers decks are powerfull either way.
