Hey all!

I just changed this deck up a bit and thought that I might aswell ask for some feedback and suggestions!

---

We activate Delirium with the following cards:

• Sinister Concoction - It serves as spot removal and will most likely add a minimum of two card types to our graveyard.

• Grapple with the Past - Self-mill that let's us grab a land or creature from all the cards in our graveyard.

• Gather the Pack - Again, a cheap self-mill with growing potential.

• Mindwrack Demon - A strong 4-drop with a built-in self-mill mechanic.

• Grim Flayer - There's nothing to say about this one. Super strong.

---

Our other creatures:

• Gnarlwood Dryad - A solid one drop, which grows as we reach Delirium.

• Scrapheap Scrounger - An artifact creature, which can be brought back from the yard later on.

• Catacomb Sifter - One of the better three drops in my opinion. With him we can play Decimator of the Provinces , as well as Emrakul, the Promised End a turn earlier.

• Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet - One of the strongest four drops I own and it has proven to be worth playing.

• Decimator of the Provinces - Strong finisher, which can be played pretty easily on T5, by sacrificing Catacomb Sifter and it's token.

• Emrakul, the Promised End - With six possible cardtypes in our graveyard we might be able to drop her as early as T7. Apart from that she is simply the strongest finisher we have.

---

Our other spells:

• Traverse the Ulvenwald - One of the stronger payoffs we get from activating delirium. Should be used to either fetch Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet or Emrakul, the Promised End.

• Dismember - Solid spot removal.

• Hero's Downfall - Helps us get rid of any fancy Planeswalkers and stronger creatures.

• Autumnal Gloom   - While it can enable delirium I never find myself using it this way. More than often it is just a 3 mana 4/4 - trample & hexproof.

---

The Sideboard:

There are multiple ways to play a delirium deck and I think that one could remove all copies of Gather the Pack as well as other more aggressive cards and take a control route.

• Pick the Brain - Decent hand-hate with delirium pay-off.

• Duress - Most basic hand-hate spell.

• Whispers of Emrakul - Good hand-hate with improval once we activate delirium.

• Languish - Board whipe against aggro.

• Distended Mindbender - Adds to the control path we can take and has a strong body.

• Ob Nixilis Reignited - If you are on a budget and want to play control, this is the Planeswalker I would pick.

• Seasons Past - I haven't tried it out myself, but if our opponent whipes the board or finds a way to remove Emrakul, the Promised End and we haven't won yet, this will help us get back into the game.

I hope you like the deck and maybe leave some feedback! It will be highly appreciated!

EDIT: I am thinking about replacing Autumnal Gloom   with Courser of Kruphix and Gather the Pack with Commune with the Gods, since I often find myself not using Autumnal Gloom   and not having enough options with Gather the Pack . They will be included as soon as I get my hands on them. Additionally, I might want to add Soulflayer and Scavenging Ooze.
