![]() ![]() ![]() One of the downsides of the deck is that it’s much slower to win the game when compared to Delver. Being able to apply meaningful pressure while looting away dead Murktide Regents is a huge boon for the deck. On top of this, Ledger Shredder is not just a strong card in the deck but really helps mitigate the impact of cards like Leyline of the Void, which were a big problem for the deck before. Playing more ways to draw cards while your opponent draws removal spells is a great way to take the advantage in a game. Beyond generally being fun to play, I think this deck effectively sidesteps the traditional hate players bring for Delver. Outside of stock Delver, this is the deck I have played the most in this format. You frequently churn through a large portion of your deck and often out-card your opponent. While the core of the deck is still the same as stock Delver, this deck is far closer to a pure control deck. This would reduce the number of games that you draw hands that look disjointed and streamline the deck’s ability to grind. In essence, his goal was to maximize Izzet’s ability to play a long game by de-emphasizing the early game pressure. Isaac Bullwinkle, the progenitor of this variant, recently wrote an excellent guide to this deck, which I recommend checking out. This version of the deck is attempting to lean into Izzet’s potent card advantage cards more heavily. I think it’s fair to argue that the innovation to the archetype has come about through these different variants, but seeing as the old standby is still relevant and effective, it’s not entirely accurate. While this particular deck list hasn’t undergone any significant innovation, there have been a number of other developments to Izzet decks that have begun to make some waves in the format. You will never go wrong registering this at any event and I fully anticipate this being the baseline for the entirety of this Legacy format. I wrote a whole Deep Dive to this deck, so I’m not going to say too much more about it, but wanted to include it as the gold standard to compare decks to. This is a “no frills” approach to the archetype, playing all of the best aggressive Izzet cards with space for a few flex spots. The deck hasn’t changed much since the Ragavan ban and it still consistently puts up solid results. This is the Delver deck that everyone has come to know and love. ![]()
