Midrange/Control GB Delirium designed to grind out value and push through the opponent's defenses. Or just cast Emrakul.

Early on, the plan is to play efficient creatures and push through with removal, to start Grim Flayer dumping cards in the yard for Delirium, while setting up our next draw. Liliana and Den Protector combine to enable some strong graveyard recursion, making the deck quite resilient.

Later game, Ob Nixilis and Nissa, Vastwood Seer provide good card draw to grind out further advantage, with late-game Hissing Quagmires and Sylvan Advocates closing out the game.

The sideboard enables us to bring in hand disruption for control matchups, as well as bring in higher power threats for longer games and a way to search them up in Traverse the Ulvenwald.

I've been playing various iterations of this deck since EMN spoilers were announced in proxy games, and completed the list in paper a couple of weeks ago in time for some practice before Game Day. Any suggestions are welcome!
