Nice result and thanks for the input
Are there reason you're playing Commune with the Gods instead of Gather the Pack?
Gather the Pack is quite useful when you are relying on Lotleth Troll to win.
I think theres a 2mana green satyr somewhere in theros block that either search the top 4 or 5 cards of the deck for a creature/land and dumps the rest into the graveyard. Maybe that's a consideration?
This is Satyr Wayfinder which only finds land and dumps all other cards into the yard.
Incubation//Incongruity is amazing in this deck and it helps achieve delirium very easily.
I think losing looting might be hurting the deck too much though
I'm playing comune instead of gather the pack cause I don't have gather the pack at the moment. I agree it's a much better card.
I don't like Incubation because it puts the card on the bottom. But I'll give it a try in some playtest.
I'm looking at the eldraine spoiler and Thrill of Possibility looks interesting,it's an instant.
Is this one Modern deck that might best survive transition to Pioneer? Was just thinking that the bulk of this deck's staples in many of its variants... are RtR-and-later. The deck doesn't really hinge on any nonPioneer-legal cards. Soulflayer, Lotleth Troll, Courier, Zetalpa, Samut, Sylvan Caryatid, Spark Trooper, Commune with the Gods, Grisly Salvage, Collective Brutality, Nightveil Predator, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Stitcher's Supplier, Flamewake Phoenix, Chromanticore... sure it's true that losing fetches makes Delve and Delirium a little dicier, but still, as rogue Modern decks go, this seems to keep most of its core pieces intact.

I think the theory is that Traverse can get it to hand (for t3 play) if crab fills the grave early. I’m not convinced it’s any more reliable than Bomat Courier builds or even Stitcher’s Supplier builds ... but we really haven’t got a suitable replacement for Faithless Looting and without it we are reliant on either a slower/costlier looting effect (like Izzet Charm or Cathartic Reunion), a smaller looting effect (Insolent Neonate, Merchant of the Vale//Haggle), a more random looting effect (burning inquiry), the all-in Bomat Courier plan, or a direct library-to-grave-filling effect like Stitcher’s Supplier, Hedron Crab, or Thought Scour.
I have to make some changes cause I don't have Klothys, Questing Beast and the 4th Gather the pack. Instead I'll put Hazoret, Chromanticore and a Lightning Axe and we'll see. This wednesday we have a small modern event and we'll see.
Haven’t played this deck in a very long time, not since Looting was banned at least, but this list seems great. Probably very close to the optimal list. Seems like quality deckbuilding, though you may want to add a Nurturing Peatland or two, and perhaps some more tutor targets in the sideboard to fetch with Traverse.

Cragplate Baloth is op, I knew it was an auto-include when it was revealed during the spoiler season. However, there was too much uncastable creature which is why I had to cut the number of Drogskol Reaver. In the current meta I don't think Drogskol is worth as much as Zetalpa. I do like the balance between the castable and uncastable creatures right now, it took me a while to figure it out.

Incubation // Incongruity will also help a lot if you are struggling to make delirium consistent.

T1 Crab, T2 fetch and 8 cards in the gy for a nice fat Soulflayer on T2.

I'm glad I kept playing modern
I was looking for a deck to play, had no luck with my UR Storm and I think I'll play Soulflyer again!
