No matter how you turn it, Delver decks remain similar.

Everything is linear!
Miracles: Play Top, then play Counterbalance. Sit on that until you find a Jace/Entreat. In case of emergency, break glass on Force/Terminus.
Elves: Cast elves, glimpse into more elves. GSZ/NO for Hoof and swing for a billion.
D&T: Cast Vial, then use it to drop annoying creatures while jacking up their manabase with Port/Waste.
* Delver: Cast Delver, flip that shit. Swing with Delver while countering or killing anything that could stop or race it.
* Post: Play lands, hardcast Primetime, then Eldrazi.
*blade: Stoneforge -> Batterskull. Jace. Bounce/counter anything important.
Reanimator: Bin a fattie, bring it back. Maybe do it again.
Burn: Play burn spells. Target your opponent, unless they have a creature that could gain them life.
*Show: Use show and tell to put something so ridiculously overpowered it should never actually hit play...into play. Counter counters.
Jund: Play guys. Swing while taking anything good with discard and clearing a path with burn.
Storm: Play a bunch of spells, make a bunch of mana, Tendrils for 20+
Imperial Painter: Cast Blood Moon on turn 1. Assemble combo, or just attack with Simian Spirit Guide 10 times.
Nic Fit: Just play all your favorite kitchen table/Standard cards because "lol 8 basics". Shuffle 80 times per game.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel
"Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings."
Yup, no other (Delver-)deck can do this.
The Legacy stream is starting now.
First match is Sneak & Show vs Imperial Painter.
Whelp.. and the first two games thrown away for this evening :D
Yay, fifteen minutes of standard.
Literally everytime I've opened the stream today (4th time just now), I was presented with a T2 replay. Not sure if bad luck or excess of downtimes and bad choice of replay material.
Chapin: Hushwing Gryff is absolutely playable in legacy (just put a couple in D&T) and we should unban Timetwister.
Who gave this guy a microphone?
Edit: How did he search for trop (the infect player)? I can't see a fetch...
Timetwister is save, but Earthcraft is busted, especially since Enchantress is already a thing in Legacy?
Hushwing Gryff is also good in D&T since they appearently don't have lots of important CiP effects. *cough* SFM *cough* Flickerwisp *cough*.
Is Chapin high or just plain inept?
I put my ballot in on that guy long ago, and I voted 'stupid'.
Are they actually trying to stream Legacy this time or do they just have Chapin babbling and ranting about random shit with little sprinkels of actual Legacy gameplay thrown in?
To say that the diarrhea that comes out of Pat Chapin's mouth hurts my brain would be a really large understatement. He makes Cedric Phillips' commentary sound reasonable and I'm pretty sure he is working with a 75 IQ.
Also the fact that no one on SCG can ever keep up with a game state is just infuriating...

In that High Tide / Infect match, it seemed like they would've had a lot better grasp of what was going on if they'd stop talking about Standard decks from 1976.
God, people actually prefer Chapin to Matthias? What the hell?
Agreed.
Team Hammafist
When is Chapin going to realize all his Jace jokes are terrible?
Brainstorm is not busted because it was fair in standard. Preordain is disgusting, brainstorm is fair, because of their applications in their respective standard environments.
Cedric suggesting that Leyline of Sanctity isn't worth boarding against ANT...
At least he admitted that he was wrong.
