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.

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

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 "MagicAids" played it on youtube and claimed it might get a ban!! But yes, its definitely transferrable

I was thinking about a sultai version of Soulflayer.

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

Anybody tried something like this?

You need the Soulflayer in hand. So you need a looting effect not just a mill effect or you can't reliably get it in hand.

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.

None are nearly as tasty as Faithless was.
