Good or bad for Grixis Delver?

didnt mean to be a reply to anything, muh b

Bad for grixis delver, good for grixis control.

>mfw these banlist updates

I'm going to make a controversial statement and say neutral
It's absurdly good on tempo which makes it great for that deck but losing probe harms consistency
I guess if you think about it, if you're replacing probes with push it becomes "Is push better than paying 2 life for redraw" which it might be
I'm not a delver expert though so it's just a theory

>Dredge, the mechanic and the deck, has a negative impact on Modern by pushing the format too far toward a battle of sideboards
>but affinity is totally fine

Affinity loses to regular removal too though. It's resilient but anything but anger doesn’t affect dredge and even then it's questionable

I don't see how Tron doesn't come out of this B&R as the king. Infect weakened, dredge weakened, Death's Shadow and kin BTFO, yet Tron untouched -> format gets slower, Tron crushes any amount of durdliness. Control decks can't beat tron.

I don't think either of Infect or Dredge are dead, but obviously going from Dredge 6, Dredge 5 to Dredge 5, Dredge 4 reduces the overall win% of Dredge, and Infect only gets a lot harder to play, which means less wins overall.

We wouldn't want people to actually have to think about their sideboards and plan for the meta now would we user :^)
