Delver & Snapcaster Power

I think that the "drawback" with Delver & Snapcaster in which you are required to run a lot of Instants/Sorceries isn't necessarily a drawback, given their color. If you look at the decks that rely on Delver(RUG in Legacy & UW in Standard), their game plan is Resolve, Flip, & Protect to victory. Due to Delver being in Blue, it's easy to run Ponder and Brainstorm to find and flip Delver, and then run Vapor Snag and Counters like Leak or Daze/FoW to protect. I think that's the problem people have.

My point isn’t that Snapcaster or Delver of Secrets are the right power level (that’s development’s call to make). I’m saying they do a good job of being blue creatures because their power doesn’t come from brute strength but rather from creating synergy with spells - blue’s thing.
