Scot I was fully expecting to not be able to go off as UR delver has so much counter magic that usually one duress is not enough. If my goal was to do my best to go off on turn one then yes your play is much more optimal. I was planning on imperial sealing for something like necropotence after seeing what his hand looked like with probe or even bargain if I draw another mox of the probe, but since I drew the top and saw only 1 counter spell that I could duress I went off. That was my thinking at the moment and sorry I didn’t go into more detail in the report about that. I completely agree with your line of play though if I was set on trying to kill him on turn 1.
