Something I've been tinkering with for a long time and its been performing quite well against friends. The main focus at first was going to be the synergies between Walking Ballista + Winding Constrictor However when I threw in Grim Flayer and Traverse the Ulvenwald then things really took off. The versatility of being able to search for target creature card as long as you have delirium was beyond useful. Is your opponent hanging on by a thread? pull another ballista. Do you need a little more beef on the battle field? pull Verdurous Gearhulk . Short on mana? pull Rishkar, Peema Renegade and drop the hulk a little early. Everything in hand but you need to accelerate your counters? pull Winding Constrictor.I needed a way to help get delirium though, so Sinister Concoction was also one of my choices and I've found it to be a very excellent removal.The long and short of it is theirs gonna be tons of counters, preferably going on to ballista but can also go onto some creatures with trample if hes not available. That being said, Traverse the Ulvenwald will help you search for what you need as long as you have delirium. Overall its been great with friends and highly versaile, but I want to know others thoughts on it.
