Hello fellow Planeswalkers, today I am showcasing a deck I have been working on for a while now and it's something I like to call Jund Delirium Shadow. I am utilizing Grim Flayer & Dragon's Rage Channeler to get cards into my graveyard more effectively for Traverse the Ulvenwald and also to pump themselves. Traverse can then be used to tutor our Death's Shadow or any lands in a pinch. We have dropped the plains dual lands from the deck entirely.

Why Delirium?

Delirium is a keyword that received some much needed Modern love in MH2. When there are 4 or more different card types in your Graveyard, cards with Delirium gain additional stats or effects. This makes these cards worth more value overall than their Mana Value.

• 3x Traverse the Ulvenwald effectively grants our deck 7 copies of Death's Shadow (since that is your primary search target). This adds so much consistency to the deck.
• 4x Dragon's Rage Channeler Surveils for you whenever you cast a non-creature spell, making turning the Delirium on that much easier. Plus it becomes a better Delver of Secrets   when Delirium is active.
• 2x Grim Flayer is an Eldritch Moon favorite of mine. A Trample Bear that can Surveil on player damage. He gets +2/+2 when Delirium is active.

How the Deck Works

Similar to how Grixis functions, we're looking to damage ourselves to make our Death's Shadow bigger for the midgame.

• In the early game, we have Dragon's Rage Channeler, Grim Flayer & Tarmogoyf for threats. Thoughtseize, which is a staple for this deck, is also a viable turn 1 play. It gives us knowledge of our opponent while being able to remove big threats. The 2 damage it makes us take is just icing on the cake.

• In our land base, we're running primarily shocks and fetch lands to help aid in this strategy.

• Midgame, we'll be looking to drop our Death's Shadow and Scourge of the Skyclaves. Cards like Footfall Crater and Temur Battle Rage will help you close out the game.

Cantrips Without Blue?

Mishra's Bauble actually works really well in our favor. A free spell then nets us draw and knowledge. Your opponent just used a scry and you want to know what it is? Not sure if you should use your fetch? Bauble is there to help you out! Plus, it's an Artifact, so it lends well to the Delirium strategy.

Traverse the Ulvenwald is there to tutor our Shadow, other creatures or lands in a pinch for 1 CMC for added consistency.

Now that Lurrus is banned, Street Wraith can be used as another way to draw without any CMC and is more difficult to interact with. The 2 life lost is also helpful toward the decks goal.

Other Supporting Spells

• Collector Ouphe is there to be tutored out for all the decks running The One Ring.
• Dismember helps with the Phyrexian Mana and provide some mainboard removal.
• Fatal Push provides solid removal and works well with all our Fetch Lands.
• Lightning Bolt is good for removal and for finishing games.
• Unholy Heat is a Delirium removal spell that hits both Creatures and Planeswalkers. 5 damage for 1 Mana is absolutely incredible.

I hope you enjoyed this deck as it's a really spicy deck to play with. I have been slowly evolving this deck over the past few years and it has become one of my favorite Modern decks!
