What do you all think about Delirium in new Standard? I noticed that there aren't any real graveyard hosers in Kaladesh Standard and think Delirium gets a real shot because of it.
I'm actually thinking Sultai, mainly because of Kiora. We've lost a lot of enablers and her -2 is one of the better remaining ones (usually 1-2 cards into hand and the rest into the graveyard) she also provides decent ramp, an alternate win condition and extra planeswalkers to trigger delirium.
I've actually been bouncing between a few decks. Not all of them delirium but one in particular is kind delirium but more like the list as it is now not a flayer version which I made a jund flayer deck to.
Here's the delirium list I put together and have had the most success with out of the 3 or 4 decks I've brewed up
There are currently a trifecta of enablers, after Grapple and Vessel the 3rd is Gather the Pack which we lose when Origins rotates. It was the enabler that dug deepest and the one that could potentially give you card advantage by netting you 2 cards.
True but honestly it only seen play tenure emerge. Jund delirium never ran gather the pack. Plus you jund delirium ran like 11 dudes the odds of you hitting them aren't high and really you only have 14 targets that you want either one of the 11 dudes or hitting one of the 3 Kozilek's returns to trigger with mindbender or emrakul.
Either way vessel and Grapple are plenty good. Especially Grapple the card is busted.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
I'm thinking about a core of
Grim Flayer
Emrakul, the Promised End
Liliana, the Last Hope
Traverse the Ulvenwald
5-6 enablers between Grapple with the Past and Vessel of Nascency
some removal between Grasp of Darkness, To the Slaughter, Ruinous Path and Murder
Noxious Gearhulk seems like it could be a player too.
Red unlocks Goblin Dark-Dwellers, Incendiary Flow, Radiant Flames and Harnessed Lightning
I'll post lists once they've matured more, but in the meantime, where are you all leaning?
