Absolutely agree that fetches help. I almost always bolt myself with izzet though, and it seldom matters. Bob is a factor there though. The fetches would absolutely make Blood Moon way less if an issue though.

You end up eating about a bolts worth of life per game to your own mana base, and just straight die to Blood Moon a lot of the time where UR delver can use it to steal a lot of wins. If ONS fetches were in Modern, UB and Grixis Delver would have a much better shot of being relevant decks, even if only as meta calls.
