Today, I came across this pool, and the BG deck that I ended up building from this pool failed miserably. Would you agree that a BG deck is the best thing to shoot for, or should I pick another color combination? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I think this build is close to optimal, plenty of ways to enable delirium and good payoffs for doing so. If you built a straight BG deck from this pool, I imagine you were running a lot of mediocre black cards.
You look to have a very strong W-R deck. Play 12-13 white cards (so many token makers and pump spells, play the two expose evils), 8-9 red cards (good aggressive creature), 1-2 equipment.
Red is potentially better than black because of the Fiery Tempers, although there are also 8 good black cards + the insane fixing, so I am not certain. Would depend on how the curve looks, and I would go with what is most aggressive.
I don't like green or blue. Green has bad removal and seems clunky.
