It's time ladies and gentleman, for the return of graveyard based decks to standard! Featuring the delirium mechanic, this deck is able to fill up its grave with the right kind of cards for powerful effects.

Vessel of Nascency is this deck's MVP for enabling delirium. An excellent turn one play sets you on the fast track for an early Mindwrack Demon or an endless supply of Inexorable Blobs.

Grim Flayer is perhaps one of the most powerful B/G graveyard oriented cards ever printed. With the power to turn on delirium in only 2-3 turns this guy can give the widely despised Sylvan Advocate a run for his money, not to mention he grants a Sultai Ascendancy effect on hit.

Deathcap Cultivator is an excellent card for this deck for the obvious ramp benefits and makes a formidable blocker once it gains deathtouch

Obsessive Skinner, I feel is an often overlooked card that (especially when massed) can cause a time-bomb like situation for opponents.

Mindwrack Demon is a no-brainer for it's great stats, low cost, and mill-4

Grapple with the Past is an amazing delirium enabler and can return key creatures that have died in combat or got removed. Previously Corpse Churn had the potential to miss when used early on but now lands can be grabbed back as a last resort, giving an extra life to Hissing Quagmire

Ulvenwald Hydra has supplanted The Gitrog Monster as this deck's curve topper and signature "big bad". The frog was an excellent source of card draw but with the addition of Tireless Tracker I found myself to be going through my deck alarmingly fast, sometimes dying to self mill. The frog was also limited in size and did not have the reach to stop the flash-in angel which plagues standard.

Lastly, Sinister Concoction is a great source of removal which counts as an enchantment making it easier to get delirium

Updates Add

This is a change to the deck I have made quite some time ago, however I neglected to update this list, and for that I am sorry. Obsessive Skinner has been under performing for quite some time and he was been replaced for To the Slaughter especially since both my playgroup and shop environment is VERY planeswalker heavy. Sinister Concoction is still an excellent card, but too often I draw one in the early game where it is very easy for my opponents to play around it; cut it down to 2. Lastly an extra Ishkanah, Grafwidow has been added to keep the board full and block those pesky Archangel Avacyn  Flips I can never seem to get away from.
