Gibbering Fiend1R
Creature - Devil
When Gibbering Fiend enters the battlefield, it deals 1 damage to each opponent.
Delirium — At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, Gibbering Fiend deals 1 damage to that player.
2/1
I think this card is the most interesting of the recently spoiled 'Delirium' 2 mana creatures. It will take Borderland Marauder / Gore-House Chainwalker 2 turns to outdamage this guy assuming delirium isn't active. This creature offers some reach and would be a decent top deck in aggro while also being a decent turn 2 play. There will be situations where it would be favorable to have 3 attacking power rather than 2 though.
Do you think Gibbering Fiend could be better than Chainwalker/Marauder?
The second toughness on Chainwalker and Marauder is very relevant, and keeps you from running "dies to a single Flames of the Firebrand or Spectral Procession.dec". If you're not Delirious, the first attack by Chainwalker/Marauder breaks them even.
I'm not sure this is even better than Keldon Marauders, honestly.

I used to write for MTGS, including Cranial Insertion and cube articles. Good on you if you can find those after the upgrade.
