[Primer] UR Delver

I've been toying with the idea of Forked Bolt, maybe a 2-2 split is a good direction to go. And take out the Command. Thanks for the idea, I'll be trying it out next time! The Lava Spikes are actually rather nice. They add a lot of damage with the Prowess guys and let you gain quicker kills. However...

Any red deck not running Outpost Siege is doing it wrong.
I'd say it depends on what the deck is trying to do, I'm testing 2 in the SB. But I'm not sure if I want them in there yet so they will be staying home for now.

As I said, you cut the none Gods Willing protection/counters to make room.

The reason for running 4 Valorous Stance is its dual nature. Since your using it as both removal and protection you'll need more of them the you would if only using them for protection.

Depends on how much you give up against aggro decks and if there are any aggro decks in your meta? I'm keeping my Brimaz since it gives me more play against mono red, that is in my opinion a rougher MU then Abzan or the mirror.
