Hi, the deck does look solid for a first Modern deck and I do love me Delver. I do agree with the poster above me in that you might need artifact hate in the SB somewhere. While I part of me loves the Swiftspear, I do urge you to try the Stormchaser Mage. The problem with Delver builds is once they land a bigger creature you are stopped from attacking. Stormchaser Mage (like the Delver after a flip) has the flying to get around the defense of the opponent. It may not be the correct call, but it is an option if you find the other players have bigger creatures. I also highly recommend Vapor Snag in a deck like this. You want to out tempo your opponent and always keep them on the back foot and this card is perfect for making them waste a turn playing there creature, just for you to bounce it and make them lose a life

So you play just regular tabletop magic. I used to play that way a lot before I became addictive to competitive magic. Kitchen table magic kinda feels like a a back alley fight haha.

Anyways, enough about that. A couple questions so we can point you in the right direction
1) Do you want to crush him, or just have a good couple of games
2) Are you ok with ideas that would be best for 1 v 1 but not multiplayer

The general feel that hold and all my friends hold is that repacks are all scams and the seller is a scammer. Not trying to insult your character, but that is how we feel. We believe that none of those have anything worth of value.

Any ideas for a sideboard?

Hmmm, well without playing the deck it is hard to say. Duress to help with combo,  Mana Leak for more counter spells. Move the Phyrexian Revokers I cut to SB. Go for the Thought for more creature removal

Ok let me preface this by saying that alternative cards will really lower the power level as there is a reason they are expensive.

Now, first off Wash Out is not Modern legal, so take those out. Also, you have 12 fetchland but only 4 lands you can find with these so we are going to readjust the mana base. We are going to use the 3 slots that Wash Out gave us and move that to lands for a total of 23. I would only run 8 fetches, 4 Polluted Delta and 4 Bloodstained Mires. 4 Watery Graves is fine. I would also drop the Drowned Catacombs as you can not fetch for them and we need basics in case Blood Moon. So since we have Phyrexian Obliterator we need 4 Swamps and to round out the basic lets just do 2 Islands. Add 2 Sunken Ruins just to help with filtering. Also, just in case I would run a single Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to help with the quadruple black. So that is 21 lands. The last two can be any variaty of utility lands possibly? Or just add whatever U/B lands you want.

Now, I think you have too many sorcery speed spells. I get what you are trying to to do, but theoretically you are trying to flip your Thing in the Ice ASAP. Once you do that you wont need unblockable. I honestly say remove the Artful Dodge, and Distortion Strike. and add a mixture of Thoughtseize and/or Inquisition of Kozilek. Maybe a 2/2 split. I would also think of adding in Thought Scour for some extra card draw at instant speed.

I am ok with your instants.

As for your creatures, I have to ask, what is Phyrexian Revoker in here for for besides being a Horror? What will you be naming with him? I would be removing him honestly..... Actually scratch that, I would take out the Hunted Horror. If you play him and then your opponent Paths him, you just gave him 6 power for 1 mana. Yes I know you said over $30 was expensive, but there really is no replacing Snapcaster Mage in this. He is that good.

This is all I really have off the top of my head. https://deckbox.org/sets/1409894 This is what I have changed. I am two cards short since I am unsure of the last two lands.

I really like the feel of this deck. Have done no play testing yet, just seems good. Any input on some help would be awesome. I know Snapcaster would be an awesome addition to the deck as well as maybe a Jace or 2. https://deckbox.org/sets/1408049

OK, so we need a few questions answered before we can help you. How competitive are you wanting to make this. What format are you wanting to play and finally, how budget friendly does this need to be.

That was exactly the kind of response I was looking for.  Thanks much.  Another quick question: is there a way to view my profile as another user would, so I could address any formatting issues?

Not that I am aware of. There might be a way but I cant think of it.

Hey guys,
I traded on Pucatrade for a while before abandoning it due to rampant inflation etc.  Can you guys tell me what the proper etiquette is around here for rescinding trade proposals?  Is it fair for me to propose trades to say 3 different people all for maybe a Chrome Mox and cancel 2 when the first trade is finalized, or is that poor form?   Additionally, how long does it take you guys to get to the mailing stage of trades?  Maybe I'm impatient, but I seem to be having some slow moving traders or as one user suggested maybe they are letting my trade proposals rot instead of declining them?  Any insight is welcome.  Thanks!

There are a few things you can do. I would state on your profile that you will be doing this. Just make sure that you have it somewhere that this is how you trade. I personally do not think it is bad for. You are throwing the trades out but if someone does not respond in time than that is on them. In the end you got what you wanted and had a positive experience with the actual trade partner.

As for how long it takes, it honestly varies. I have had trades take literally 5 minutes but I have had some last days of negotiation. Make sure you check their profile though and see if they says something. My profile states I do not trade much on weekends, so  if you send me a request at 3pm on a Friday, most likely I will not respond till Monday as I do all my trading at work so I can spend time with my family. Also, always put something in chat so they get an icon. Personally, I give someone 2 days to respond and after that I will send them another message. After that, I am done.

I hope this all helps!

This is why I think if someone reports your account for scamming, the account needs to instantly be frozen to prevent others from getting scammed

Well it's tricky because it lends itself to abuse (lets say you have a contentious trade negotation and someone leaves feeling angry, they can report an account just to freeze them out for a few days while admins investigate). Maybe if only certain users with like 100+ feedback could do this it might work, but low accounts with low feedback (and I say this as a person with single digit feedback so far) are too easy to re-create for the purposes of trolling.

Yeah, I totally agree that it is ripe for abuse. I know there is not an elegant solution that wont be abusable, I just fear that if does this scam, in the couple of days that Sebi is investigating, they might have 4 other people send  then scam them. Depending on the value (and I doubt it will be a small trade) the scammer will come out ahead and it all be worth it to them.
