This is a card which begs the question "how often can I trigger Delirium"? It's an acceptable filler/fixer in the early game, but certainly not worth including in cube based on those merits alone. Later though, it becomes a suped-up Eladamri's Call/Sylvan Scrying split card for half the mana of either of them. Finding that Grave Titan or that Kessig Wolf-Run later in the game seems like a great scenario for a one-mana green spell. I think I'm of a positive opinion about this one, but am very interested in hearing others' thoughts on it as well!

I have absolutely no idea how to evaluate this card.

Right - how hard is it to trigger delirium? Creature, Land, Instant, Sorcery - all of that's doable within the first handful of turns, especially if you're some golgari graveyard deck. I'd like someone to playtest and report

Quick delirium question - this card would be in your graveyard by the time it resolves right? So you would only need 3 (non sorcery) card types in your yard before you cast this to get the delirium trigger?

Someone playtest and let us know?

That's lame. Yea I don't think this will be good enough for cube.

No, it checks while the card is still on the stack, so the spell itself doesn't count for delirium.

I could see this replace Boreal Druid for those who have included it for colorless support. This card fixes mana for colorless and colors early game and is just a super awesome tutor late game.
It's definately going in my cube.

Delirium is too unreliable and the card is just terrible without it. From what I've seen so far with this mechanic, it's far too inconsistent.

Agreed. I think this card has some interesting constructed implications, but Lay of the Land effects have never cut it in cube, and tacking on some endgame upside doesn't change that.

I'm going to keep an eye on this one, to see how quickly and how often Delirium mechanic actually triggers.

Delirium, like delve, is a lot harder to do in cube than constructed. Think about how often goyf is a 4/5 from YOUR GRAVEYARD ALONE. Not often. Easy pass.
