I recently moved to Modern and built Grixis Delver, mainly because I liked the interaction and multiple lines of play. I also found UWR Control/Midrange interesting pre-Treasure Cruise, but it has somewhat fallen out of favor and Grixis looks to be more fun.
I need help with my SB. I am expecting a lot of linear agrro decks like Burn, Affinity, Bogles, Merfolk and probably a few Jund/Abzan and Tron. Bogles is problematic. Even a resolved Spellskite will get Path or Nature's Claim immediately. I am adding 1 Anger as a sweeper to agrro decks. How is Blood Moon working for our deck with 18 lands (4 basic)? The singleton Spell Pierce in the main has been unimpressive. It sucks mid-late game and being a single copy, you rarely get it in your early turns. I would probably replace it with Dispel or a Remand. Spell Snare has been great in most matches.
What is more preferred a single Electrolyze or two Forked Bolt? Although, Electrolyze cost more, it is a cantrip at instant speed, whereas Forked Bolt seem so slow when you rather have a more proactive gameplan in your turn.
