I like the list. It's got pretty much the best cards in GB. I think the only thing I would recommend is perhaps adding in some creatures that have dual card types. For example, Agent of Erebos is both an enchantment and a creature that acts as grave-hate for your opponents. Solemn Simulacrum is an artifact and a creature that ramps and acts as a fantastic blocker. Noxious Gearhulk gains life, kills other creatures, and is both an artifact and a creature. Erebos, God of the Dead would be a cool Entomb target or would be a great creature for a Buried Alive package.
I guess a rough draft list for me would look something like this:
There are enough creatures that have two different card types that you should always have at least one in the 'yard to turn on Delirium. Combined with the number of instants, sorceries, and lands that can end up in the 'yard, and it should be pretty easy to turn on Delirium for Ishkanah's triggered ability. I decided to add a slight Reanimator package to the list so that there would be some explosive turns where you Reanimate the best fattie in your deck. The two cards I'd like to squeeze in somehow are Fauna Shaman, Birthing Pod, and Victimize, but I don't think that cutting any of the other cards in the list would be as beneficial.
Anyways, keep brewing! It looks pretty solid to me already and I think you could easily incorporate some of the dual type creature cards that are plentiful.
Certainly. I hope the changes work out for you. Ishkanah can generate a very quick board and the tokens she generates have all sorts of uses. I'd love to somehow try and squeeze Sadistic Hypnotist in there as well, since free Mind Rots are so good, but the list is really tight as is.
Ive had time to play a couple games. The deck seems to function pretty well. The curve might be a little high so im thinking of cutting some of the more expensive eldrazi. Thoughts?
