Pack 1 Pick 1: The Swarmweaver
The Swarmweaver
5 Even without delirium this would be nuts as you get three bodies at a great rate, and once you have delirium it gets even sillier. Especially because you're likely to have more insects and spiders in Black/Green.

Shrewd Storyteller
3.5 This trigger is great because it can allow you to snowball with Survival creatures, as if they keep growing, they can keep attacking. So, whether you put the counter on the Storyteller or something else, it's going to feel pretty good.

Conductive Machete
2.5 This is a 4-mana 4/3 with tons of upside. Hard to be upset with that.

Commune with Evil
2.5 I'm interested in the first copy of this if I'm in a Delirium deck, as it can get Delirium singlehandedly. Not adding to the board is a bit of a problem, but the life gain helps.

Fear of Lost Teeth
3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.

Slavering Branchsnapper
2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes.

Ticket Booth
3 I love that the Booth adds a real body to the board earlier, and you can unlock the Tunnel late at a time where it makes your attacks way better.

Cackling Slasher

Abandoned Campground

Pack 1 Pick 2: Break Down the Door
Cursed Recording
2.0 // 4.0 This format has fewer instants and sorceries than usual and that holds this back a little, but doubling your spells is a big deal, although deploying this where you don't add to the board can be a little scary.

Rite of the Moth

Acrobatic Cheerleader
2.5 If you play this on two when you're on the play, there's a good chance it will get flying. And, there are plenty of ways to get it flying even in the late game. It's a quality two drop.

Unable to Scream
1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block.

Turn Inside Out
2.5 This is a solid trick because it's going to let your creature kill your opponent's in most cases, and getting a 2/2 if your creature dies means you come out ahead.

3 This will frequently have Menace and Deathtouch. It won't quite always have them -- Glimmers are around, including at lower rarities -- but it has them often enough to be a nice 5-drop, especially in decks that care about Enchantments.

Wildfire Wickerfolk
3 A two mana 3/2 Haste puts your opponent under pressure early, and by the time that body's less relevant, it'll usually be a 4/3 trampler.

Sporogenic Infection
3 This is a pretty weird take on an edict effect. You have some control over it, since the creature it gets put on can't be sacrificed -- and you can even put it on your own creature if your opponent only has one. But it definitely removes something and then gives you a ltitle upside beyond that.

Ethereal Armor

3 I think this is sneaky good. On rate alone it doesn't sound great, but it can trigger Eerie three times -- and on the cheap, and both sides of the room impact the board.

Final Vengeance

Most Valuable Slayer
2.5 This can buff stuff the turn it comes down, and the boost it offers is enough to make your attacks much better.

Boilerbilges Ripper
2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.

Underwater Tunnel
2.5 I don't love that the cheaper side doesn't impact the board, but Slimy Aquarium does -- so it's sort of like you pay 5-mana for a 3/3 with Surveil 2, but you pay in installments. That's not too bad.

Pack 1 Pick 5: Slavering Branchsnapper
The Tale of Tamiyo
1.5 This set has fewer instants and sorceries than usual, so the last chapter is hard to abuse. The first three aren't easy either -- but if you can take advantage of the mill and draw a few cards, you might be able to play this. Not adding to the board is rough, though.

Fear of Failed Tests
1.5 This is a largely defensive creature that wants you to do damage with it, which just seems...weird. It's not going to get in for a hit very often.

Miasma Demon
3 This is a big flyer that can turn every card in your hand into a free -2/-2 removal spell. That can help you set up delirium or reanimate something, while also killing stuff.

4 This is a super pushed Green removal spell, since it takes away all the downsides bite/fight cards usually have. For one thing, your opponent can't blow you out. For another, even if you dont' have a big enough creature in play, you probably have one in your hand that can do the job.

Shrewd Storyteller
3.5 This trigger is great because it can allow you to snowball with Survival creatures, as if they keep growing, they can keep attacking. So, whether you put the counter on the Storyteller or something else, it's going to feel pretty good.

5 Even without delirium this would be nuts as you get three bodies at a great rate, and once you have delirium it gets even sillier. Especially because you're likely to have more insects and spiders in Black/Green.

Patched Plaything
3 A 2/1 with double strike for 3 is pretty solid, and it also has synergy with all the "2 power or less" cards in the set and the reanimation in the set, since you can get it back as a 4/3 double striker when you bring it back.

3.5 A three mana 2/1 without the delirium effect here would probably be a 3.0, since grabbing a land is such good value -- a 2-for-1 is pretty easy to produce! So, the fact that this gains a relevant body later in the game is pretty awesome.
