When did Pokmon cards come out
My Verdict: A launch leader that still shapes decks years later is rare
Bant Delirium | Shadows Over Innistrad Standard | Roman Fusco Creatures (16) 1 Bruna, the Fading Light 1 Gisela, the Broken Blade 1 Ishkanah, Grafwidow 1 Linvala, the Preserver 1 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger 3 Tireless Tracker 4 Primal Druid 4 Thraben Inspector Instants (4) 1 Immolating Glare 3 Dissenter's Deliverance Sorceries (14) 1 Descend upon the Sinful 2 Nissa's Renewal 3 Fumigate 4 Spring // Mind 4 Traverse the Ulvenwald Enchantments (5) 1 Quarantine Field 4 Cast Out Lands (21) 6 Forest 2 Island 3 Plains 1 Irrigated Farmland 1 Lumbering Falls 2 Evolving Wilds 2 Scattered Groves 4 Fortified Village Sideboard (9) 3 Negate 1 Essence Scatter 2 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar 2 Declaration in Stone 1 Cataclysmic Gearhulk By hitting Delirium with creatures that acted mainly as chump blockers (Thraben Inspector and Primal Druid) and Spring // Mind (two card types) I was able to get insane value against various midrange creature strategies with Delirium cards like Descend Upon the Sinful and using Traverse the Ulvenwald for major threats like Gisela, the Broken Blade, and Bruna, the Fading Light
A further explanation for not banning the troublesome duo from the Lord of the Rings MTG set is that "Not many games are quickly decided by a runaway from either The One Ring or Orcish Bowmasters, allowing players to play longer interactive games with plenty of back-and-forth." As for the unbannings, Preordain, a card banned since 2011, is back in Modern, and Mind's Desire, which was swiftly banned in 2003, is back in Legacy
