So as you may or may not have heard, it was a Delver overload this past weekend at the StarCityGames Open in Nashville. Some are shouting “BAN!” while others chalk it up to that regional metagame. Lets look over the decklists, the future of Delver, and what I think should happen regarding Magic’s future on letting an Insectile Aberration loom overhead.

StarCityGames Open: Orlando – Legacy Report
On Sunday in the Legacy Open, only myself and Bryan Elliot played out of the Average Joes team. I convinced Bryan to run a Hypergenesis deck that made top 16 at another SCG Open (decklist here) while I went with arguably the top deck, RUG Delver. He did some minor fish bowling of the deck before he was hooked. I typically run EsperBlade but for once I chose to try something new.
StarCityGames Open: Orlando – Standard Report
Average Joes made a good showing this past weekend in Orlando at the StarCityGames Open Series in both Standard and Legacy. We had 3 people cash between both events with Bruce Strong making Top 8 in the Standard portion! Most of our team ran a R/G Wolf Run Ramp list that we had been working on for a few weeks, adding in some new cards from Avacyn Restored and tweaking the sideboard. The base list came from Roy Ochoa who had been cashing in some tournaments with a similar list. The other members that didn’t run the WRR list chose to run either a home brew list or an archetype stock list. Read on for a breakdown of the people that cashed, what list they ran, and our Wolf Run list that we had been working on.
New Standard Decks Updated with Avacyn Restored
With the release of a new set comes updated and possibly new decklists! Up to this point U/W Delver, R/G Aggro, and R/G Wolf Run Ramp always seems to be in the spot light making multiple top 8’s and winning numerous StarCityGames tournaments over and over. Does this new set promise any changes? Will U/W Delver still be considered the best deck? Lets take a look at some new options and go over the card changes.
