Welcome to my first venture into modern deckbuilding where I again attempt to break 50 cent rares like Graveblade Marauder, Splinterfright, and the criminally underrated Mindwrack Demon. A difficult task considering the format, but not impossible in a graveyard themed deck designed to squeeze out all of the value of the more expensive cards you've shelled out some cash on as you are soon to discover. Here's the plan to win in the most adequate way possible:

T1: Verdant Catacombs, search for a land, cast Thoughtseize (or Vessel of Nascency).

T2: Forest, cast Grim Flayer.

T3: Swamp, attack for 2, then cast either Splinterfright or Graveblade Marauder after attacking to ensure there is at least one creature in the graveyard to fuel a Splinterfright.

T4: Forest, cast Mindwrack Demon to try and trigger delirium if you do not have it already, swing for 5 plus however many creatures there are in your graveyard.

T5: Cast whatever is left in your hand or potentially dredge to get back Golgari Thug and whatever other card you may need, swing for 9 plus however many creatures there are in your graveyard to see out the game.

Before playing this deck I must warn you that due to the nature of chance, sometimes getting enough creatures or cards to power delirium can be difficult but I have done my best to try and alleviate those concerns.

For price difficulties, Thoughtseize can be swapped for Inquisition of Kozilek and Verdant Catacombs can be swapped for Prismatic Vista or a plethora of other black/green dual lands.
