    I'm not sure if this deck has already been created, or if there is a forum for it, but here it is. The idea is to have excellent ETB effects and strong creatures, combined with blink tactics to make a deck that delver has a real difficult time fighting against.

    It looks like a good start. You basically have a naya aggro or Birthing Pod deck. If your really want to stay away from the standard naya pod deck there are a few changes that i think would be an improvement. Otherwise change the creature base and add Birthing Pod's.

    First off where is all your white land? if Avacyn's Pilgrim is all your using for a white mana base your going to find your self unable to play Restoration Angel's and Cloudshift. a delver deck will just gutshot the pilgrim the turn you play it. I would take out 1 crag, 1 forest, and 2 mountain's for a playset of Razorverge Thicket. Add Cavern of soul's as well. That way your Restoration Angel's and any other big cards cant be countered.

    As far as your creature base goes its pretty solid except for Roaring Primadox. With 4 Restoration Angel's and 4 cloushift you won't need it. you will find yourself with way to much blink to know what to do with. Take out the Roaring Primadox. Add 1 Avacyn's Pilgrim, 1 Huntmaster of the Fells, and 1 bladesplicer.

    Bonfire of the Damned is always good. The pillar's of flame won't be needed with them though. Rancor would function better in that spot. I would also drop 1 or 2 Bonfire's for Oblivion Ring or Fiend Hunter main deck. my local fnm sees a ton of delver decks. They all fail as long as you Remove the delver early on. Yes pillar can do that too, but against anything else its not as useful.

    The sideboard needs some work. This isn't a deck where you want to play any field clear. You should have enough big creatures to Fend Off delver's and Geist's. The Slagstorm will hurt you more then help you. There is also way to much artifact destruction. You have 2 copies of three different artifact destruction spells. narrow it down to 1. I'd go with 3 Naturalize myself. Although if your fnm sees a ton of artifact play that may be why.
