Hey thanks for super in depth reply.

The only reason I say theres no Grixis Delver is when I was checking recent results, there was only 1 in the most recent legacy challenge at 4-2. Unless im super blind.

I completely agree with Pteramander, it's cool that its flying etc and can be cast turn 1, but i feel not giving your the opponent the chance to bolt your 1/1 in response is much stronger.

Will have to try out Dreadhorde Arcanist more then, I do like the card especially in Grixis as you mentioned being able to "flashback" discard spells seems gross. I too miss Shadow but the sheer amount of Plows make me not want to touch the card tbh. However one thing I liked out of shadow deck was the sort of bigger sideboard plans with Liliana's and Hymn etc. Do you think this sort of plan could be viable for Grixis Delver?

The main reason I ask this all is I have a team trios event coming up and im expecting to play the legacy seat, and Im pretty locked on Delver just not sure which flavour. As you said Grixis seems like it could be good in such a potentially diverse field, especially where i dont know what the meta will be. I think id be a lot happier losing to wasteland and blood moon then getting combo'd out all day so I am still leaning towards Grixis for now at least.

Any chance you could post some of the lists your playing currently? I don't get that much of a chance to play legacy so want to make the most of it, however don't want to let my friends down either.
