Gurmag Angler

Balancing Delve Mechanic

I'd argue Delve can be balanced by tweaking the numbers. Treasure Cruise was broken at 7U, but if it cost 4UUU it would have been a fair card. Gurmag Angler would have been decent as a 3/3. Balancing Delve pushes you towards a heavier color requirement, which is limiting, but could theoretically find a home in some sets.

The color limitation, making them basically only playable in a monocolored deck is a significant restriction that would make them mostly unplayable in the majority of environments.
