So I recently decided to try my first sealed league and went for the Friendly Sealed League, as it offers more matches and I think as a mediocre player it offers me more 'prize'wise. I opened my pool to some decent mythics/rares and even a few noteworthy uncommons.
Now, my first feelings were to try BW delirium, as both Sorin and Mindwrack Demon are of course good cards, plus Kindly Stranger and Tooth Collector are good delirium cards. I get a little bit of removal in Angelic Purge and Puncturing Light, as well as some neat tricks and the ever impressive Always Watching.
My next brew went to BR madness/delirum with all seven of the vampires of I have - not sure if enough to capitalize on the Stromkirks and Aristocraft - splashing Sorin. This also gets the notable Breakneck Rider, as well as Fiery Temper, Spiteful Motives, and some draw. I suppose Goldnight Castigator is also worth mentioning.
Still going through options and I think I'll try laying out UW or UB with the Sorin splash next. The green in the pool is not impressive from my glance, which is disappointing given I have two green dual-landed.
I think black/white is the best build. With Angelic purge,stern constable,macabre waltz,rottenheart ghoul ,warped landscape and wild-field scarecrow as enablers. It's unlikely you won't hit delirium every game. And you have to go for delirium since you don't have a strong early game, no matter what you go with. Don't splash colors when you don't need to. If you have enough playables to make a strong deck, don't get greedy. I see many players regularily making good decks weaker by adding a 3rd color and trying to fit off color cards in a deck that was strong and consistent at two colors.
I would have liked a dual land allowing a green splash for unvenwald mysteries and veteran cathar, but I don't think it's necessary.
