\u00a0If you know your opponent is playing them, then you just need to bait it out and land an <a

one. \u00a0Him, with the <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Silver-Inlaid+Dagger&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Silver-Inlaid Dagger<\/a>\u00a0are a complete house. \u00a0This\u00a0list\u00a0is pretty basic and straight forward with ways to beat Delver. \u00a0I\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0take it to a StarCity event or anything like that but its\u00a0definitely\u00a0FNM worthy. \u00a0I\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0know why Delver stopped playing <a

equipment means you just win in less time usually than your opponent. \u00a0I tried to keep the land count low since\u00a0everything\u00a0cost 3 or less. \u00a0I also love to play with <a

value! \u00a0Yes, I would love to go get an equipment and have a body to show for it&#8230;lets do it. \u00a0The most expensive card is <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Snapcaster+Mage&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Snapcaster Mage<\/a> and I have it to utilize the <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Vapor+Snag&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Vapor Snag<\/a> engine (if you can call it that). \u00a0It can beat creatures that may be faster than you while allowing you to tempo out your\u00a0opponent\u00a0with no Mythics! \u00a0If you find yourself sitting around wanting to test a different kind of deck, give this a shot. \u00a0Its a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Arndt<br \/>\nMTGO: AdamRA4<\/p>\n<img
