My shot at Sultai delirium, improvements and suggestions welcomed.

The great thing about this deck is that we're not running any true colorless lands, and we can still return world breaker to our hands in a bind if we accidentally, or even purposefully put him in our graveyard. Your first hand should always contain vessel of nascency, and if you bring world breaker up when you sac nascency, put him in the graveyard--he is far less likely to be exiled there than in your hand. Return him to your hand on a turn 6 end of turn from your opponent, and then play him on your turn. Your objective should be delirium by turn 2, 3 at the latest. the regular black removal won't do anything against world breaker, as he isn't a "mono-color," he is more than 4 toughness. He can be anguished unmaking, but that's about it, so take out their white black lands when you cast, and ivasive surgery their transgress with delirium to remove them all. To the slaughter their planeswalkers with delirium active to also remove the token they created as well.

The issue: I'm running into hard removal spells, a lot of black removal like price, grasp, anguished, path, languish. As such, I'm trying to avoid monocolored creatures, and less than 4 toughness, as it's almost a guarantee it will get removed. World Breaker seemed like an obvious fit here.

The other issue: we're relying on vessel of nascency for delirium, and it doesn't like to show in our hand turn 1 a lot. we can still get there turn 4 without it, perhaps let the opponent grasp or languish us to enable delirium, but doing so will slow our delirium down. I could run more counterspells or negate. I could use a tutor, but not the expensive dark petition, as if we haven't hit it by then we're in a bad spot.

I really love invasive surgery, traverse the ulvenwald, to the slaughter, pick the brain, and vessel of nascency in this deck, if delirium is active, as it really is backbreaking for the opponent--I love World breaker because it's just such a good card. Someone mentioned they think this is a ramp deck--it is not, think of world breaker more like a finisher then a ramp creature, but if there is an alternate option, i'm listening. I can't see removing vessel of nascency in a delirium deck, but I considred manic scribe to mill myself as well.
