Ha, sorry. I thought this was a different author.

Honestly, I don’t have enough test data to really tell if this is the better build. So far I’m enjoying it, but I really need to hop on Cockatrice or Xmage to pound out some games. Want to join in some time?

I remember that, and I think you’re in the minority on that though I really can’t comment beyond that since you’re right you aren’t weak to graveyard hate but your clock is slower. I also think you’ll have a harder time hitting delirium, though that may not matter to you. Still if you’re having success, don’t change what you’re doing.

Hmm, nice catch. MTGSalvation is usually more reliable than that. Doesn’t really impact its function, but still, should have been correct.

If Eye goes Tron may lose its default inevitability, but I’m not sure it really needed it anymore with Ulamog taking over for Emrakul. I’ve actually wondered if banning Eye might not make Tron better since it frees up a utility slot to cover some of its weaknesses.

I think you may be disappointed there. So far all the clue makers have been either white or artifacts, and since the mechanic is called Investigate, I doubt we’ll see any in red, though blue is still a possibility. UR Shape may not work out, but I’ll bet that UW will still work.

If there’s a new cantrip then Delver absolutely becomes a deck again (which is why I doubt Wizards will make another one). I was deliberately only talking about control because tempo is Jordan’s thing, but you are absolutely right, Surgery is a natural fit for Delver, probably more so than Grixis. I suspect that if Visions gets unbanned it will benefit control more than Delver, but it would certainly help revive the deck. Anything is possible, we haven’t seen the full set yet and this IS Delver’s home plane…

I don’t like to speculate about new decks, especially before the whole set is spoiled, but I do think that players will return to control decks with Eldrazi gone so anything is possible.
I’m a little skeptical of Anguished Unmaking in Modern. Three life is a lot when most decks are fetching and shocking themselves already and Burn is a deck. If you really need to exile a creature Path to Exile is better and honestly there aren’t many non-land permanents that have to be exiled. Maybe as a two of against Lantern Control, but if that’s what you need you can do better.
Faeries has almost been a deck for some time now, so I’m open to the possibility that it could become one with the right metagame and some new cards. I don’t see any yet from Shadows, but it could still happen.

Otherwise, this is a great article as always, I largely agree with the assessment you make for the meta. I do think that if they ban eye, it being the biggest offender of the sol lands in my opinion, the tron vs control matchup should be less lopsided(though still not 50-50).

I do look forward to SOI spoilers, I’m severely hoping for an investigate counter or cantrip, heck anything in UR that works, for Shape Anew.
