I could see getting delirium turn 3 in standard, but I think you are basically turning off turn 1 and 2 just to get them to discard 2 random cards. I think I would rather just have the 2 cards to deal with the opponents threats. This is definitely not up there with Hymm.
I think Take Inventory is gonna be an all-star for standard. Possible slots where you wont have to just cycle 2 it: UR control, and possible new decks like a UB Zombies or Sultai Delirium.
Or... you know, you could play some real tutor effects: demonic tutor, grim tutor, vampiric tutor, gamble, tainted pact... All of which are better than the slow 5 drop only useful if kaalia is already in play ready for an attack.
In any case this is solid for monowhite EDH. Certainly mandatory in the new Bruna, Fading light EDHs that will pop up so you can tutor gisela. And yes, for EDH Bruna is a much better commander than Gisela.
Who said you couldnt play the other tutors as well?
Not pump the advocate, push damage through a advocate blocker. An opponent playing a turn 2 Sylvan Advocate just hoses aggro decks.
