I'm thinking this might be good for ramp decks, especially those featuring Ruin in Their Wake. We are losing Rattleclaw Mystic, so Ruin might take its place and this alongside Oath of Nissa could make the manabase more stable without having to jam a lot of Wastes. Bonus if you can tutor one of your finishers for the late game.
I really love this card. Allows you to keep hands that are one mana away from being great early game. Allows you to go get that massive demon flip land late game or any other game ender you want. This set is fun.
Its power is entirely dependent on Delirium's accessibility then...
Without it, it's just a rare Lay of the Land (ouch), with it, it's better than Worldly Tutor most of the time (I'll say put into hand makes up for the instant-loss to some extent, but that's just my opinion).
This is completely meh without Delirium but it might be the closest to Green Sun's Zenith modern will ever be again.
I like it.
In fact, in my first read I missed the "instead" and was going crazy about the card thinking that I could search both a basic land and a creature for G with delirium... a man can dream. lol.
Once again, they're being safe. Make this cost three and have the delirium for the regular effect then give you the ability to pick a creature and a land for delirium.

I like that Traverse doesn't necessarily push you to be aggressive with Delirium as long as you build up the necessary type count by the time you want to tutor then cast your game-ending creature spell. Commander can totally rock this with Burnished Hart, Font of Fertility, Cultivate, and Harrow.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
And I never said it does. I said it could help ramp decks that play Ruin in Their Wake to be more stable. Ruin is the card supposed to ramp, not this one or Oath of Nissa (which by the way, is an auto 4-of in every ramp deck, despite not ramping).
one mana creature tutor? don't mind if I do. I think delirium is going to be so easy to trigger that this card will end up being pretty awesome most of the time you end up casting it. between this and oath of nissa there are some pretty great things you can be doing for a single G.
Hey, I could be wrong. But most stuff that's on banlists are cards that produce too much mana or tutors. Delirium is easier to hit than most would expect.
Oh man, after seeing fungus shaman at rare, my blood was starting to boil as I was reading this card and seeing it was a rare Lay of the Land. I just knew it was going to turn into a Rampant Growth with Delirium and I was going to punch a hole through my computer screen.
Thankfully it at least turns into a creature tutor, which makes me feel a little less salty about it being rare, but I'm still not happy!
I liked it until I noticed the basic land clause. Then I noticed it was rare. Then I noticed it was a sorcery. Now I think it's a rancidpile of elephant *****

There's some fungus guy that replaces Rattleclaw. Don't remember the name, he's a 2/1 Human for 1G that can tap for B or G and gains deathtouch with delirium - personally I think he's more powerful than Rattleclaw because deathtouch is a great ability for a mana dork. Of course, he doesn't easily go into the same decks because of the colors he taps for.
So apparently we're in an environment where easy to meet conditional tutors are terrible cards now, and should really be printed at common? Because... not the standard I've been playing.
Don't feel bad, most people are abysmal at card evaluation and just like to complain. A one mana tutor is sweet.

I don't think it's condition is easy to meet at all. It's a lot easier to hit in modern, but in standard right now I don't think it will be easy to hit, especially with fetches rotating. We also don't have any good self-mill cards (yet). Don't get me wrong, I don't think the cards terrible at all, and I actually really like the design. I do think people are living in magic christmas-land in their heads a bit, though, expecting to get delirium online turn 3 or 4 every game.
Well, I am wondering which modern deck can use this. In modern, delirium is fairly easy to reach...I would like this in Abzan Company as a tutor but, that deck particularly can't reach delirium most of the time.

My question is, is the delirium draw back enough to keep this from getting banned?

In what format? It's far weaker than Birthing Pod or Green Sun's Zenith and delirium makes it a turn 3 or later card. It's modern fate depends on what deck will use it and at what extent...

Ulvenwald means "Wolf Forest", by the way.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

Reanimate sucks cause it needs cards like Entomb to work.
You mean that, unless you can meet the condition, its the same as caravan vigil - when you can't meet its condition.
