Grapple with the Past vs. Unearth

Pauper forum

I've been playing with a GB Delirium deck in pauper, and I've ran into this dilemma: Unearth or Grapple with the Past? I'm currently using the latter, but sometimes I find myself with plenty of mill happening via Commune with the Gods, Vessel of Nascency and Grisly Salvage. Thoughts?

Depends on your curve and what you plan on Unearthing but I would think unearth is slightly better due to the cycling draw. If you need to get delirium more grapple is slightly better though.

In the GB delirium deck, grapple is a bit more useful, since it can fetch a larger number of things.

Can you link to the deck?

PG7m sure, I know I'm not allowed to post decklists on this page, and not 100% sure about the comment rules here, but will do: GB Delirium

IMHO, I think you go with 4x Unearth because w/o Grapple with the Past you still have 11 ways to fill your grave so, you probably don't have much trouble doing that. It's getting things to the field you need to do.

You may also want to play Crow of Dark Tidings because it's a flier that helps fill the yard too.

Also, do you play casual or more competitive? I guess that's pretty important. If competitive, do you feel light on removal? It looks like it could have problems.

Great list though.
