So version one of Death is Only the Beginning was completely untested because I saw multiple problems with it. I did some research on delirium decks and found cards I didn't have that I ordered for this improved version; I also totally forgot other card types like artifacts exist, so I threw in some of those for some card draw and extra mana. I put more focus on delirium in this version and still might sub some different spells in later. I'm not the biggest fan of my instants. But I am feeling a little bit better about this version, though I question if I really have enough graveyard dump. Playing will tell.

During my research I was kinda bummed out that Grim Flayer was out of my budget limit (I hate buying cards more than $3 if I can help it), but turned out I had one already hidden away I thought was already in my boyfriend's deck. So dibs. Nice addition I'm glad to have.

Version 2.

Changes:

Removed: x1 Evolving Wilds , x1 Nimble Obstructionist, x2 Resilient Khenra , x2 Sanitarium Skeleton , x1 Scour the Laboratory , x1 Wander in Death, x2 Wasteland Scorpion

Added: x2 Deathcap Cultivator , x1 Contingency Plan, x1 Inexorable Blob , x1 Grim Flayer , x3 Soul Swallower , x1 Soul Separator , x1 Hedron Archive, x1 Renegade Map

EDIT: I must say, I've had quite a bit of luck at achieving delirum early with exactly four cards in my graveyard. Loving it.
