Delirium is an ability word introduced in Shadows over Innistrad block

Description

Delirium is a tweak on threshold. It highlights cards that get better if you have four or more card types represented in your graveyard. There are many different kinds of delirium abilities, including activated abilities.

The card types that could show up in your graveyard are artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, planeswalker, sorcery, battle and tribal. Supertypes like basic or legendary, and subtypes like Vampire or Equipment don't count. The number of cards doesn't matter, as long as you have four or more card types.

In Shadows over Innistrad block, delirium was in all colors, but primary in green and secondary in white and black. During its reuse in Modern Horizons 2, it was shifted to blue and red.

History

After Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon, Delirium was reused in Modern Horizons 2 as a limited archetype. It also made appearances in Double Masters, Thunder Junction Commander, and Modern Horizons 3. In Duskmourn: House of Horror, it is one of the main mechanics again.
