Here’s a list that Andrea Mengucci (our Mythic Invitational Champion) has been playing:

This deck plays like typical Delver decks in other formats, using cheap threats backed by counterspells, with efficient card draw and filtering to keep everything flowing.

The most powerful engine is Ninja of the Deep Hours, and the 1-drops give you an easy way to land a fast Ninja (though if you think about it, aren’t all Ninjas fast?). Once you are drawing two cards a turn, you can easily counter or kill anything the opponent plays.

The biggest weakness of the deck is that the clock isn’t the fastest, which lets big mana decks like Tron sometimes get their engine going, but hard counterspells go a long way in making up for that.

This deck is a ton of fun, and don’t let the Pauper designation fool you—this format is filled with a lot of powerful cards. To see the deck in action, check out Andrea playing this very deck!
