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.

Today I will go over what I feel are first pickable creatures in the world of a common cube. Everyone has their own opinion but most of these I have seen in action multiple times and are usually the center point for any game in progress. Consider this a cheat sheet directly from my drafting experience….your welcome. These are in no particular order so lets get started.

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.

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.

Time to get my Combo on
Generally when building a new deck it’s due to a few possible reasons. It could be for a particular strategy type like making the opponent discard or having cheap efficient spells. Sometimes it could be to combat strategies in the current meta. Other times it is because there’s a card that looks like fun to build around. This article is about one of the “other” times.
