i think u shouldnt forget about running ur old friend gifts ungiven, who i think in recent years has gained an unfair reputation merely a vessel for unburial rites + elesh norn or whatever
my favourite cube archetype to this day is Eternal Gifts, a UGx pile with Gifts, narrow answers, and tons of recursion. Any deck with a Profane Command + E-Wit loop is my jam.

Thats a real good uncommon.
Wow. I loved Kavu Titan back in the day, and this is way better

I don't whether to buy a box... two boxes, or not. I'm so conflicted!
Buy two, and if you don't like the first you can give the other to me.

Huh. I just assumed all saga's were known from the FAQ, so I didn't expect this one. It's super neat! It's also in a color that naturally supports delirium. Saga's in general work well together with delirium, because they bin themselves and get a relatively rare card type into the graveyard, but this one is especially good with it!

Also...
Uncommon! :cry: This set is full with wonderful reprints and unexpected rarities! Even ignoring the multicolor section and reprints at lower rarities (hello Thorn Elemental at uncommon!), I think all of the cards below could have easily seen print at a higher rarity.
I went ahead and preordered two boxes. This set looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to play
Also, there's a baby in this art! <3

How is this saga good with delirium? It shuffles your graveyard into your library.

Because I missed the last part. Oops.
Well... that makes the card considerably less neat for my cube then.Yeah it's much less a delirium card specifically, and more Baronesque; extract the maximum value possible out of your graveyard with heavy filtering and recursion/recirculation. Recurring Mulldrifter as a draw engine seems like an awesome thing to do, for instance, or wiping a board with consecutive uses of Fleshbag Marauder. Sidisi.
Sagas in general, though, are pretty neat for delirium.

Baron is about using shuffle to deck from graveyard to programme your deck. Unless you are exiling cards from your grave before shuffling, anything that shuffles your whole gy into your deck isn't baronesque.
That said, the card is interesting but the shuffle really isn't great in a cube with lots of cards you want in your gy.

I think its because it takes lands out of the deck. So if you’re long gaming it, it does improve your draws, just not a ton of control over it.
This card aside, the sagas seem to make enchantment recurssion a lot better as a strategy in gy formats.

Yeah. And the fact that you are increasing graveyard options/size and recurring multiple specific items over multiple turns. A milling effect, recursion effect, thinning effect, and shuffling effect all in one seems decently baronesque
I dunno, man. I can't imagine putting a card this low impact in a deck on purpose. I know power level is a relative thing, but even in the weakest, most synergy driven cubes you'd rather just have Restock.
I think comparing this card to Restock is a narrow way to evaluate it. Maybe it's not good enough for some/most formats, but not because of how it compares to restock. That's like comparing mulch or vessel of Nascency to regrowth
TBH I don't really have an idea of how the card truly performs. Maybe one reason I struggle to think what I'd take out for it at the momemt.

In a slower format where you can take advantage of the improved draw quality, its just better than restock.
The big thing with that card, is that to get the most value out of it, you want the game to go longer than 8 turns. When you combine that with it being a 5 mana investment that dosen't impact the board immedialy, its probably pushing it for a lot of formats that are upping the pressure around turns 4-5, and want to end the game by 8.
