Urzas Saga and delirium
Modern forum
Posted on July 10, 2022, 6:12 p.m. by Lujotheganker
Hello guys, I have recently started playing grinding breach combo, which is a lot of fun. The deck utilizes a lot of powerful cards which are pretty straight forward, but there are two that I have a slight problem withb - dragons rage channeler and urzas saga. Often times I find myself in a position, where I just dont know if I have reached delirium or not. A lot of people say a lot of different things and I cant seem to find anything on this topic online. My question is: does urzas saga count as a land or an enchantment while in a graveyard, regarding DRCs delirium? Thanks in advance
Balaam__ is right, it counts as both. Also, this technically should belong in the Rules Q&A section, not the modern forum.

Delirium is not like the Party mechanic, where every card can only count for a maximum of one party member, even when a creature can have more creature types, or even all of them together. Delirium checks for all card types present in your graveyard, and card types are: Creature, Planeswalker, Enchantment, Artifact, Land, Instant, Sorcery and Tribal (like Bitterblossom). If you have 4 different of those types of cards in your graveyard, Delirium is active, no matter how those types are spread over the cards. If a card has 2 types in its typeline, Delirium sees them both.
Just Urza's Saga and Ornithopter in your graveyard together would therefor give you Land, Enchantment, Artifact and Creature for types, already providing Delirium being active.

Just like how it would check an Enchantment Creature as two card types, Delirium would count Urza's Saga as 2 different card types simultaneously.
