But we’re not talking about his cube. I feel pretty sure he said he’d only tried the card in retail. If anything we’re talking about my cube and my wish for a 1 mana looter that I know doesn’t exist.

I mean, I've had MANY people tell me my cube "isn't a real cube" because of the customs
shut up i can make a tribal cube work
they’re…. so bad
They fall into the trap of appearing to help delirium, but don't actually really help delirium because usually they are taking the place of another spell that will actually help delirium at a good power level. Mind Stone is an example of a mana rock that more likely helps delirium. The sac ability is quite good and the front end is more efficient.

Chromatic Star
Chromatic Sphere
Scrabbling Claws
JackOLantern
Mishra's Bauble
Urza's Bauble
no need to run really bad stuff to make delirium work/pivot with artifacts with all these stellar trinkets about

Yup, you would need to be at a really low power level. Like, if Inquisitor's Ox is your payoff those might be a good fit as enablers.
there’s… also about 5 different power levels each of fetchlands and cycling lands…
Yeah, if you want to be normal.
Which cycling lands do you use?
forgotten cave et al
I've finally taken the opportunity to update my basics box on CC thanks to this discussion

Not particularly many. I think 5 or 6 of each? Usually drafters include 0-2 of them so there's not intense competition
I imagine in your environment some decks would want a lot of them (5-7?), given double Life From the Loam.
Cycling lands are weird. Aggro wants them because flooding is bad, but also really doesn't want them because tapped lands are really bad. They might want 0-2. Control might want lots, but not so many that it gets too clunky against aggro. I would struggle with the correct range of numbers to use from the BLB for midrange and control.

i would take probably 1 of each of my colors normally just to use as cantrips/first turn plays, maybe more if i’m doing some weird synergy thing. onslaught cyclers are just so, so good to have in an environment and having them available to all i think is an awesome decision for play experience
They are just 3 mana ramp, like Darksteel Ingot. I wouldn't consider Delirium to be part of their appeal. In fact the kind of decks that wants mana acceleration is rarely the same deck that plays with the graveyard.
Like most 3-mana ramp, they are pretty weak. You might have a cube in which they are useful but they are way below rate even in retail limited.
