I think an obvious first step for making it modern would be to take out illegal cards, so goodbye to {Daze}, {Stifle}, {Mental Misstep}, and {Repulse}. Assuming you want to make it competitive, I'd drop the {Augur of Bolas}'s to fill out the playset of {Snapcaster Mage}s, then drop the {Runechanter's Pike}s since X/1 beaters are a fine wincon in a delver deck. This leaves about 12 slots to fill in, which I'd do as so:
+2 {Remand}
+2 {Mana Leak}
+2 {Serum Visions}
+2 {Vendilion Clique}
+2 {Slaughter Pact}
+2 {Dismember}
The blue spells are pretty standard for modern delver decks, and you looked a little removal light. {Slaughter Pact} has a nice synergy with bob, too. Hope that helps!

Meant to put X4 Serum Visions.  I do have more Mana Leaks and some Dismembers... Are Trickbinds a waste of space? Cliques, Remands, and Snapcasters can be worked toward when I sell my bulk and more rares, I think. |

Yeah I don't think trickbinds will be very useful. I've never seen U/B delver get anywhere in a tournament before, so please be sure to do some testing before taking my advice (if you do).

Thanks for the tips!
Gonna try to get some Inquisitions from a friend. Figure those might help function as a lesser Clique.
Could try splashing red for Terminates and Bolts, but not sure if that would help much.
I've never even gone to a tournament though, just draft. Would this one be a waste to run? Every Bob deck seems to be BG with Goyf.

It's rarely used in modern, but I run {Repeal} in my blue combo contorl modern deck and have been very happy with it. It takes the place of {repulse} in your origonal list.

Nice! That's effectively the same for all the 2-drops, and far more painless for Bob...

Should Trickbind be in sideboard against Pod? Or is there a better way for U/B to deal with it?

Or is there a better way for U/B to deal with it? {Shadow of Doubt}, {Thoughtseize}, and {Unsummon} effects should be all you need against pod since it's a pretty good matchup for delver. If your meta is saturated with pod, then a couple {Gragdigger's Cage} might help too. |

Good call. Bouncing a podded creature breaks the chain... Are manlands necessary? I browsed some UB Delvers today and they all run Creeping Tar Pit.
