Is OGW Nissa playable in budget B/G Delirium?
Standard Deck Help forum

So I've started building a B/G Delirium, and right now it's absolutely terrible, but over the next few weeks I'm planning to improve it bit by bit.
Now I know that Lilli is the preferred planeswalker for Delirium, but since she costs a heck ton of money and I've got 2 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar laying around, I was wondering if she was a good fit too.
All responses appreciated.

jimmyrayuk Yeah, I don't think Kiora is worth it, like you said. My reasoning for Nissa was that it's another card type that could help to get Delirium, and on her own she's pretty alright. But I guess she doesn't fit that well. Thanks for your comment!

For another card type for the delerium putting a single planeswalker card in would probably help.
I guess outside of Liliana, the Last Hope you've only got Ob Nixilis Reignited or Nissa, Voice of Zendikar. Nissa is cheaper to cast and will give your creatures +1 counters and a give you plants. Ob Nixilis is more expensive to cast, but will will give you card draw and kill creatures. It all depends what's in your delerium deck.

jimmyrayuk Currently, there's not much more in it than an idea, haha. I've not yet got the key cards, so I think Nissa will fit okay until I get more cards.

Nissa isn't playable in Delirium. She serves no advancement to your game and is a dud at the 3 spot in the curve. Liliana, the Last Hope is just wayyyy better. I even like Ruinous Path better than Nissa in a 3 slot.

Also, come Kaladesh, the new nissa (Nissa, Vital Force) will be ok as a high-end walker in Delirium, I think.

Sadly Nissa neither fills the graveyard or pulls from the graveyard or does anything to help or utilize delirium at all.
Outside of Liliana, the Last Hope the second planeswalker I'd go for would be Kiora, Master of the Depths, however you'd have to splash blue for that and I don't think she'd be that worth it unless you also took advantage of some of the blue zombies, mill or counterspells.
Don't feel forced to include a planeswalker just because you can. Planeswalkers are an option, not a necessity. :P
