In reply to Filip Skórnicki. I would recommend not playing Ancestral Vision, honestly. It's only good in a small number of mtachups. I recommend getting busy killing in Modern, as the alternative is getting busy dying.

In reply to Cedar Lee Sanders. Lingering Souls is their best card in the matchup- Delvers or no, so they made a HUGE mistake siding them out. Against Jund I board out a couple Thought Scour for a Countersquall and Go for the Throat- I just don't have enough cards to board Delver out for and the card is just fine in the matchup. Abzan is tougher, and depends a lot on their build. They could have Noble Hierarch and some little creatures or Lingering Souls and Siege Rhinos. Against the builds with few two-drops I board out Spell Snare for Engineered Explosives (kills Souls and Goyfs alike) and some Countersqualls to counter Liliana/Path to Exile/Souls. I can't justify boarding Delver out against a deck with Path to Exile given that I can't Snare that one and I can snare Terminate.

I was wondering what your sideboard plan against the BGx decks is with Grixis Delver? I played against junk last week and he took out lingering souls and some lightning bolts in anticipation of me boarding out Delvers. I won by attacking with a flipped Delver due to lack of removal. He was surprised by my leaving delvers in. What seems correct?

Hi Ryan! What is THE best Ancestral Vision control deck in modern right now? What would you recommend to a control afficionado?

Thanks a lot for everything.

Very interesting splashing black for Push and K Command… I was tooling around with Blue Moon ideas recently anyway and may have to try this out.

We (I assume we… I know I sure did) appreciate your contribution as well as your die hard faith in Grixis in the modern format. Just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex_IdaMWQVM I hope to see your name in top 8’s more in the coming future. Best of luck to you.

Other than Tarns and EEs, I think I can build both of these. It’s interesting seeing the difference in Delver style between you and Kevin Jones, always nice to be able to review 2 very good and different builds and see what works best for you.

Your articles are always great and I definitely hope there will be more in the future. I’ll keep tabs through Twitter and I’m sure we will be seeing you on coverage again soon enough,

In reply to Taylor Goodland. The best advice that I have is to live it. Experience and experimentation are the best teachers.

In reply to LejeuneH. I wasn't big on Thing, and am much more against it with the printing of Fatal Push. You are introducing a new weakness to this deck by adding a cheap creature. Think Twice is also just worse than all of the other spells in the deck by a lot.

Even as a non-Delver player, I always really liked your content and I’ll be sad to see you go. Good luck with your new endeavors!

I really appreciate the content and I loved the rare stream I was able to fit into my schedule. I was desperately hoping you would be the author of the Grixis primer once modernnexus got to the primer section. I assume that’s too much to ask for your last article though. Jund always has the reputation for being the deck that has the 51% win rate against the field, and I would love to hear your case for how delver matches up overall. That being said, I just acquired tarn number 4 two weeks ago, and I’m a novice player to the deck.

I’ll miss your work a lot Ryan. Good luck with whatever it is you’ll be busier with!

I like your Grixis Moon deck, what do you think about a Thing in the Ice + 2-3 Think Twice as a “aggro” plan alongside moon to close out games fast?

Thank you for all your hard work and effort. I probably wouldn’t have finished sleeving up my first delver deck yesterday if not for some of your work. Good luck!
