What are the best block decks that can be made from SoI?
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking:
-GR Werewolves/Wolves
-GB Delirium
-GUw Clues
-BR Madness Vampires
-UW Control
-UR Madness Prowess
Yay! An absolutely dead sub-forum that no one has used since KTK block events stopped firing. There are social circles and even LGS that still run block events and are considered Limited or Standard Block, depending.
Sad day, when I return to magic after 3-4 years to only find out that Block is a dead format. So I've been toying with a few ideas for SOI block decks.
I've been working on WRB control, Jund, WGB delirium, GB delirium.
I really want to build a deck around The Gitrog Monster but I personally think that some avacyn / planeswalker control in WRB would probably be the strongest deck
Delirium is probably the strongest option available. Could even splash into Red for Arlin, a very light splash though because strong three colors are difficult with the mana available.
Yea I bit the bullet last night and started buying cards before price spikes from the PT.
As of right now I built GBW ramp/delirium deck with loam dryads, deathcap, traverse, corrupted grafstones to power out mindwrack demons, gitrog, and sorins. Debating on a 1-2 copy of season's past or ever after for graveyard recursion. Slight white splash for sorin and anguished unmaking.
I'm on vacation now, I plan on play testing against some buddies next week so I can see what works and really hone in on a strategy.
I bought 2 boxes of SoI and all I can think while going through them is that it's not focused enough to build a solid deck and no matter what I try I'll just end up with a good draft deck. I hope the next set really helps flesh out the themes and mana curve of the colors.
Delirium and Werewolves are almost there as far as power but they lack good support.
A TitI deck might work if you design it as a Rise from the Tides deck. It would probably have to be UB or Esper though in order to get enough value spells and destruction. That new looter and From Under the Floorboards look entertaining.

Anyone done any block deck creation/testing?
