With the addition of Pteramander in RNA I was thinking that there might be a shell in Modern for a Delver deck. I like the idea of Dimir Delver to keep the manabase affordable, and I'm trying to avoid Faithless Looting decks at the moment.

4 Delver of Secrets
4 Pteramander

3 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Fatal Push
4 serum visions
3 opt
4 thought scour
2 Collective Brutality
2 negate
1 mana leak
4 scalding tarn
2 island
2 swamp
4 Darkslick Shores
4 polluted delta
4 watery grave
1 engineered explosives
2 dispel
2 ceremonious rejection
1 disdainful stroke
2 surgical extraction
1 liliana, the last hope
4 leyline of the void

If I switched to Grixis I'd probably run Kolaghan's Command and Lightning Bolts. I based the number of counterspells on lists like UW Control.
