I lack experience with understanding the meta of the current format, but have been grinding away preparing for the Invitational. Would preparing for this be similar as preparing for an open environment. With it being an Invitational, I assume these players will pilot their best decks. What do you guys expect to be popular?
Given that it's Legacy, I imagine that people will be piloting not necessarily the 'best deck', but the deck that they're best at piloting, hence an entirely open field, but with the obvious Stoneforge variants, Delver variants, DnT, ANT, Sneak and Show, etc.

One of these day I have to get myself organizized.
DnT is not as popular as before. The game currently is definitely spearheaded by 4 types:
1. Decks that run Stoneforge.
2. Decks that run Deathrite Shaman.
3. Unfair combo decks.
4. Miracles.
Of course, both type 1 and type 2 could be running Delver, but Delver is not what sets them apart. Now, just because these decks are popular, that doesn't mean the pilots are experienced in what they are playing. Miracles for example, is notorious for its long learning curve. The deck requires you to play fast without mistakes to prevent draws.
Should I feel concerned that I run a deck that does both 1 AND 2?
Starcity Invis are strange animals. Given the nature of the event grinders are over represented. As such in type 2 when Delver was a thing it was a way bigger part of the meta than it should have been. I'd expect lots of Deathblade in the hands of the usual SCG guys and then Sneak and Show and Delver variants next but maybe not in that order.
