Help for PTQ in Maitland
Modern forum

So I'm going to the PTQ in Maitland Florida on July 5th, and this will be my first ever. I'm almost done with UR Delver, and wanted the opinions of experienced modern players about how viable this deck is for high level play. Would i be better off with another deck all together? I could also make a twin deck albeit it would be a little budgetized (no cliques) and UR storm. What has the best chance?

I'm not sold on how powerful Delver of Secrets Flip decks are in Modern. A decklist would be really helpful if possible. I think that if you know how to play Splinter Twin well (it's really hard to play the deck to maximum capacity), switching over could be a good idea. Storm is a deck that is objectively really powerful, but can fold to sideboard cards. Play enough Echoing Truth s and you should be fine there. It's a case of what you're most comfortable playing. Whatever you have the most experience with is the best choice for the event.

I went with lsv's deck here as a base and have not messed with it too hard. When in doubt, go with lsv lol. I'm probably more comfortable with delver but the twin i could throw together would be lacking, whereas I'd have everything for delver and storm

Without all the pieces for Twin, Delver is more powerful, but between Delver and Storm it's really a toss up, storm gets hated out easily where as delver can be outraced

Probably delver unless you are able to get the full Twin list. Delver is a strong deck that won't see a lot of play, so there is the potential to be a sleeper if you play well
