You can reliably get Delirium on Turn 2 with Gather the Pack and/or Vessel of Nascency and almost always will get it with Mindwrack Demon (which is playable on its own).

The problem isn't getting Delirium at all. The problem is that the payoff sucked. You now have Emrakul, Traverse the Ulvenwald and Delirhymn. I think the deck will be legit now.

I was playing around with a deck like this one and getting Delirium itself was trivial, its just that you're not really getting a reward other than Traverse the Ulvenwald (which is really powerful itself):

Deck: GB Delirium

//Lands
4 Evolving Wilds
6 Forest
3 Hissing Quagmire
4 Llanowar Wastes
6 Swamp

//Spells
2 Gather the Pack
3 Grasp of Darkness
3 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar
3 Oath of Nissa
3 Ob Nixilis Reignited
2 Ruinous Path
4 Traverse the Ulvenwald
2 Ultimate Price
1 Vessel of Nascency

//Creatures
4 Deathcap Cultivator
2 Emrakul, the Promised End
4 Hangarback Walker
4 Mindwrack Demon

//Sideboard
2 Duress
1 Transgress the Mind
2 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
1 Clip Wings
2 Caustic Caterpillar
3 Dead Weight
1 Gaea's Revenge
1 Languish
2 Virulent Plague

the reason delirium hasn't made a splash so far is that the best payoff for it is traverse the ulvenwald which is decidedly unexciting in a world where green creature decks are all focusing on cocoable value 3-drops

hymn and emrakul are decidedly better payoffs

I just saw the foot, a lot of the SoI art are like this, it's pretty awesome. Also this is turning into a pretty powerful set. Between sorcery-pod, not-donate, Thali'makrul, and now not-Hymn. Although, the not-Hymn missed out using an eldrazi werewolf to howl at the moon.

For the few decks I've seen running Traverse, Delirium was not trivial.

You have to make some concessions to getting Delirium, like running Hangarback Walker even though you'd probably rather have Sylvan Advocate, running a full set of Evolving Wilds, etc. I personally haven't found it that difficult, especially with Mindwrack Demon, but still, you do have to build around the mechanic.

That's part of the point. Gather the pack and Vessel aren't good cards in most decks.

They're also reasonably cheap though, and don't put you down cards and let you dig for a Mindwrack Demon. It's just that a Mindwrack Demon on its own hasn't typically been good enough to play the deck. I'm a lot more interested in dropping an Emrakul than playing build-your-own Hymn to Tourach.
