also be that it is the most powerful Sword ever printed in my opinion as forcing your opponent to discard and having double the mana every turn is just sick. \u00a0Or he might not own or didnt get to borrow War and Peace.<\/p>\n<p>Moving past the Swords, he is running 3 <a

looking over the top 8 decklists, it seemed to be the thing to do with every Delver list running 2 or 3 of them. \u00a0I felt this card was going to be sick and this deck is just able to abuse it. \u00a0Always having a flash wall or basically running 7 <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Snapcaster+Mage&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Snapcaster Mage<\/a>s is always good. \u00a0Gerry is packing a Maindeck <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Divine+Offering&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Divine Offering<\/a> which is good for almost any deck as it hits Swords or Mana Artifacts.<\/p>\n<p>In his sideboard he chose to run a few new goodies such as <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Amass+the+Components&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Amass the Components<\/a> and <a

class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Vapor Snag<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Snapcaster+Mage&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\"

Snag<\/a> meant it never got to hit. \u00a0Amass seems good in the last stages of a game where you and your opponent are top decking. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Ghost+Quarter&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Ghost Quarter<\/a> is probably there for the Wolf Run matchup or anything else running Caverns or Kessigs but I dont know if I agree with it fully.<\/p>\n<p>While this list obviously won, there is always room for improvement. \u00a0Below is a list I might run at an upcoming large Magic event.<\/p>\n<div class='mtgh' id='mtgh_dd66c' style='width:500px;margin:0px auto;'><div class='header'><div><h4

thoughts on Banning <a href=\"http:\/\/ajmtg.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-mtg-helper\/mtg_helper_cardfinder.php?find=Delver+of+Secrets&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Delver of Secrets<\/a>, I think the card is perfectly fine and does not need to get banned. \u00a0Every standard cycle \u00a0there is one type of deck that does seemingly better than the others (Faeries, Tokens, Jund, Valakut, Caw-Blade, Wolfrun and now Delver). \u00a0Each one did have better stats per tournament typically than the rest of the field but that doesnt mean that every time a new card comes out that it needs to be banned just because its seeing play. \u00a0There are plenty of answers to Delver currently and before this past tournament there was a swing to Wolfrun and R\/G Aggro pushing out the Delver strategy. \u00a0Wizards is\u00a0constantly\u00a0increasing the power level for all creatures, commons included, and they will continue to do so. \u00a0People just need to build a deck with better answers instead of complaining or just jumping on the winning band wagon if we want to see a change. \u00a0The trick is when building to always have the best deck in mind and how can your deck beat theirs. \u00a0Then test that strategy. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t have a 50\/50 matchup, go back to the drawing board. \u00a0I feel this past weekend was a region appeal to play U\/W Delver and things should be back to normal over the course of the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Arndt<br \/>\nMTGO: AdamRA4<\/p>\n<img
