I see you put in the Grixis Delver deck as tempo/aggro, but in fact is more of a tempo/midrange or tempo/control, specially when sideboarding, when it becomes one of the grindiest decks of the meta, that even wins the midrange king (jund). just saw Ryan playing it on SCG and he was not even slamming Delver T1 even if he had 2 copies of it. Just waited until he grinded, and then slam the beasts.

In reply to Nadal Ok. I'm also confused by that statement as well. Grixis Delver is my favorite deck in modern and I'm always disappointed that no one in my store plays Affinity anymore.

I have to say, Overturf’s Grixis Delver list looks downright spicy. 20 lands and Ancestral Vision in the board give it more of a midrange feel than what I’m used to, but that might be a good thing when it comes to taking down Delver’s eternal nemesis (BGx Midrange). I think it’s a good place to start from when figuring out how the archetype fits into the current meta.

Good article, but I don’t understand why you say Grixis Delver benefits of the lack of affinity. I have played plenty of grixis delver and I believe affinity is one of our best pairings, up there with infect. And with overturf’s lists the percentatges only can go up since he is packing 4 snare which are the best card against affinity. We usually pack a lot of cheap removal and we even have flyers to block.

In reply to Nicholas D.. I would imagine its because remand was badly situated before. So by a decline in linear aggressive deck it went from being bad to neutral so to speak.

On Remand, if the part that it is good against has risen, and what it is bad against has sunken, how does that result in a net neutral? Perhaps there is a good reason for this, but otherwise, the statement seems rather silly.

No thoughts on BG Infect? :/
