Which Deck Should I Use???
Standard Deck Help forum

So I'm trying to decide on a deck to run for standard, and it's between UW Flash and BG Delerium. I love the playstyles for both, and I really don't know which one to pick. I guess what I'm really asking is what deck will be viable in standard the longest? Thank you.
lotusofblackness,
With the new (old) Standard rotation, they'll both be good decks until Q4 2017 (when the block-after-Amonkhet comes out, and Gideon + all the Spirits rotate from UW Flash and Emrakul + Ishkanah rotate from BG Delirium)

Booo!!!! Play something different that strays away from the norm. For example, I am playing this deck to great success:
Puppies and Kittens
Standard

lotusofblackness,
I was talking with a guy last night on this exact issue and he ended up choosing UW Flash ... he figured that UW Flyers is almost always a viable achetype in Magic (though of course some years it's better than others), so working to master it will pay off better than trying to master Delirium, which will die out after SOI and EMN rotate.
And just to pile on to UpperDeckerTaco's comments: If you want to play a rogue deck that's decently competitive, RG Energy (especially the Electrostatic Pummeler version) is an absolute blast.
