Welcome to an interesting hybrid of two of the top current standard strategies: Delirium and Emerge.

Basically using the delirium theme allows us to utilize cards like Grim Flayer, Traverse, Ishkanah and Emrakul. These cards have great impacts on the game, and traverse pulls the deck together by tutoring for your fatties.

For the emerge half of the deck, we want creatures that don't mind being sacced much. That creature is Seed Guardian. This is one of my pet cards, and he works beautifully here. Not only does he have a relevant death effect so that he's a good emerge target, the elemental created by the death effect will be much bigger than in a regular emerge deck because of how much we're dumping into our yard!

To tie the deck together we have the mill cards in Grapple with the Past and Vessel of Nascency. We also have the normal removal package in Dead Weight, Grasp of Darkness, and of course Lili, who also helps with the yard interactions.

I'm looking for comments and suggestions on the deck. All constructive criticism is welcome, this deck is a work in progress.

If you like the deck, a +1 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to view my deck!
