Delney, Streetwise Lookout - 2W

Legendary Creature - Human Scout (Mythic)

Creatures you control with power 2 or less can’t be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater.

If an ability of a creature you control with power 2 or less triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.

    Just thinking out loud here, this list needs to be trimmed by about half but I think we want some combination of these creatures:

    • Crawling Chorus
    • Greedy Freebooter
    • Lunarch Veteran
    • Market Gnome
    • Doomed Dissenter
    • Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim
    • Fleshtaker
    • Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia
    • Mindleech Ghoul
    • Norn’s Inquisitor
    • Delney, Streetwise Lookout
    • Werefox Bodyguard
    • Preacher of the Schism
    • Sanguine Evangelist

    And Loran of the Third Path in the sideboard. We’ll keep Rite of Oblivion for removal and Corrupted Conviction as a cheap card-drawing sacrifice outlet. Nothing here costs more than 3 mana so maybe we can get away with about 22 lands.

    It’s tricky because there are a lot of good creatures with triggered abilities that give them +1/+1 counters, but once you do that you immediately shut off the synergy with Delney.

    I also really want to figure out how to break [[Circuit Mender]], and Delney might help with that, but I don’t know if this is the deck for it.

      Okay, maybe something like this for the Circuit Mender deck:

      2 Miner’s Guidewing
      4 Spyglass Siren
      4 Thousand-Faced Shadow
      3 Faerie Mastermind
      4 Moon-Circuit Hacker
      4 Suspicious Stowaway
      2 Abuelo, Ancestral Echo
      3 Circuit Mender
      4 Delney, Streetwise Lookout
      3 Loran’s Escape
      4 Get Lost
      23 lands

      Not sure this is enough interaction though. I don’t feel like we have a great plan for if the opponent plays Sheoldred, as Standard opponents are wont to do.
