Hey guys Long time lurker here and player of GDS. Ive played the deck for over a year and I think even with the unbannings and metagame shifts the deck is still good. Ive played many varitations of the lists and found that they were okay but sometimes lacked consistency so ive revereted to the original list with afew changes as the deck evolved. I'm going to a tournament this weekend and would like any insight into card choices and sideboard plans.
Ty for the advice, I'll keep that in mind I had the kozilek's return for added help in affinity lol devoid is key but your right it doesnt help much in the dredge matchup. I'll make the swap and see how it works. Ty!
Hey guys I've been playing delver for awhile now and this is the list that has gotten good results at my LGS. Unfortunately due to the lack of larger tournaments I haven't had time to test the list out in a more open field but the weekly events that I go to have a wide variety of decks from tier one and on.
This is the list
Hi guys I've been on delver for awhile and my list has been changing with a lot of help from this thread and my meta, but I have to say that blood moon has been an all star to the point where I'm running 3 in the board because the matches that it's just an auto win are plenty espeacialy with the removal and counter package that we are running
In my sideboard I run 2 blood moon and 2 ceremonious rejection which with some early delver flips can do some serious work in the matchup, also artifact hate doesn't hurt for their support cards espeacialy because most eldrazi tron are running 4 chalice in their 75. I agree that the bant match up gets difficult when the land a cavern of souls, but they tend not to run basic wastes so an early blood moon can cut them off colorless sources.
Congrats! The build that I've been running recently is very similar. I haven't gone to any major tournaments but I've been to 3 LGS weekely events and my record currently is 12-3 and the games I lost were not out of reach at all.

This version of the deck seems really good right now, and has a good game vs some of our bad matchups in Eldrazi and Tron while also still keeping up game vs burn and graveyard based decks and is also very interactive vs the midrange and creature based decks.
Hi guys, I was just wondering as another Blue Moon player what your guys strategy is for a resolved Nahiri? I've recently gone for the more proactive Rietzl style blue moon and I'm having trouble dealing with a resolved Nahiri, the best thing I could find to deal with it is either resolve a Clique or potentially add Boomerang to my deck. Thoughts?
Hi, I'm curious if anyone has tried going back to Jason Chung's list from the pro tour? Just because it seems like the meta is shifting back into the decks in which that list of blue moon was favoured in.
Hi guys, I'm looking to get back into playing my Grixis Delver deck again because it really rewards tight plays. I was just wondering with the changes to the meta and all what matchups were in our favour and which matchups were not from more experienced delver players.
I'm curious as to why titi instead of tasigur or gurmag? I feel like with the thoughtscours and card draw, it would be no problem to get tasigur or angler out. It can be a faster clock and not bad in the long games.

This is a list that I've been playing for awhile, I've prized out at afew local tournaments and FNMs. I feel that the deck has gotten much better since the banning of eldrazi and I'm not 100% sold on AV. This deck tends to grind into the late game, and ripping one off the top is rough. Even in your opening 7 I feel having AV might hurt because this deck is very soft to a resolved Goyf or Eidelon so I feel like leaving one mana even just as a threat is very important. I've played against of variety of decks and to be honest the toughest matchup I've had is merfolk(depending on removal). Post board things get a bit better with the sweepers and EE. Yes I know 3 Relics is a lot but my meta has a lot of Thopter/ Gifts Ungiven decks and it really hurts those decks along with Coco's and random Goyf decks.
