What creatures does this play nicely with besides Snapcaster?
Myth Realized other Horrors, namely, Revoker
I'm just trying to imagine what kind of deck would want this (or how you build around it)...
Right now a Gush shell seems pretty easy to drop in. 4 TITI, 4 Snapcaster, 2 Dack, 1 Clique, 4 bolt, 12 counters, 18 mana sources, and the rest cantrips/Gush
But is this really better than Pyromancer/Delver? or Mentor? Perhaps better in the mirror but you get blown out by Abrupt Decay or Swords.
The card is decent but I don't see it having the same impact on Vintage as Pyromancer/Mentor.

How about JtMS as an alternative win condition? Blood Moon and Ensnaring Bridge both stop you cold otherwise.
Maindeck removal? I'd put the Deluge in there and play Illness in the Ranks or Engineered Plague in the SB. Maybe find a spot for one Dismember/Snuff Out as well.
I also agree with xouman, 4 Mindbreak Trap is overkill, Crucible would be great here, and Vamp is at least better than Consultation (especially with the added 1-ofs). You could try this:
-2 Mindbreak Trap -1 Flusterstorm -1 Demonic Consultation -1 Vampire Hexmage
+2 Jace +1 Toxic Deluge +1 Vampiric Tutor +1 Crucible
Misdirection is strong with Standstill and Marit Lage as well. Not sure if it's better than Trap and Flusterstorm though...

Lol yes. 4th mage and 3 thirst to take the spot of 2 chalice 1 dig
That's actually +4 and -3 Because it's actually: -3 Chalice -1 Dig +1 Trinket +3 Thirst Okay that's what I suspected. Still seems like the deck needs an overhaul now that 1cc spells aren't the obstacle that they were before. I would look at more than just the 4 Chalice and X Dig: Mindbreak Trap Dismember Fire//Ice And the lack of: Brainstorm Ponder Bolt Spell Pierce Red Blasts

As someone who plays RUG Delver in every format, I can't help but think this guy is going to fit in somewhere. I'll probably try him out in Modern first (where the absence of Swords and Jace make him much better), but I also think he could be decent in Vintage (where it's super easy to grow him and the evasion from tokens is relevant).

4 Gush 2 Dig Through Time 1 Treasure Cruise
4 Preordain 1 Ponder 1 Time Walk 1 Ancestral 1 Brainstorm 1 Mystical Tutor
...is still a very strong draw engine. I see that Smmenen played 3 Dig in his latest VML deck, but that seems a bit much to me. I think I'd rather play 1 Snappy in that spot.

Lots of great films in this thread! A few others I'd like to toss into the ring:
A Field in England - Bizarre black and white film about a group of English Civil War deserters looking for a pint and finding a more surreal experience
Mr. Turner - Something about this film moved me-- perhaps its the spectacular seaside views, the little art history eggs, or the likability of such an unusual character
Edge of Tomorrow - Tied with Guardians of the Galaxy for best popcorn flick (and I totally agree with the Star Wars comparison for the latter!)

I'm guessing this has already been said, but can't you just jam MM into U/R Delver and call it the new best deck? Plus Containment Priest for good measure.
3 Monastery Mentor 3 Delver of Secrets 4 Young Pyromancer 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Brainstorm 1 Mystical Tutor 1 Wear // Tear 2 Flusterstorm 2 Pyroblast 2 Gush 4 Force of Will 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Mental Misstep 1 Ponder 1 Time Walk 4 Treasure Cruise 4 Preordain 2 Dack Fayden 1 Mox Ruby 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Island 2 Tundra 3 Volcanic Island 4 Flooded Strand 4 Scalding Tarn
Sideboard: 4 Containment Priest 4 Ingot Chewer 4 Grafdigger's Cage 2 Swords to Plowshares 1 Wear // Tear
Seems too easy...

You could try to capitalize on token generation between BB and YP by adding Cabal Therapy.
Do you actually own Chains of Mephistopheles? I'd consider playing them in the maindeck, I think they're that good in the current meta (although there's some disynergy with Skullclamp).
