You think Delver isn't going to be a deck anymore? The UW bird, Izzet charm, and Azorious Charm lend some support. Just because Ponder rotates doesn't mean we've seen the last of Delver.
The loss of Ponder and Gitaxian Probe alone means that Delver decks would have to run more lands, which means less spells, which means less chance for Delver to flip, and it means less cards in your GY to fill up with Runechanter's Pike or for Snapcaster food. Vapor Snag is grudgingly replaceable, but the rest are not.

I left off the planewalkers, and I'm pretty sure some will see play, and I left out PLENTY other things that can enter competitive play. The set isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
