Paranoid Delusions from 'Gatecrash' confabulates your opponent (Photos)

Featured in the "Dimir Dementia" intro pack, Paranoid Delusions is one of the newest gold Dimir cards from Wizards of the Coast's latest expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Gatecrash."

Paranoid Delusions - UB
Sorcery (Common)
Target player puts the top three cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard.
Cipher
(Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

Paranoid Delusions will confabulate your opponent, especially in limited where their deck is 20 cards smaller than normal.

Paranoid Delusions can help you find a creature to copy with Lzav, Dimir Mastermind or just deal extra damage when you activate Duskmantle Guildmage.

As with the other Cipher cards we've seen such as Undercity Plague, Stolen Identity, Call of the Nightwing and Whispering Madness, you'll want to encode Paranoid Delusions onto an unblockable creature like Elusive Krasis or Tormented Soul in order to ensure it connects with your opponent every turn.

How will you use Paranoid Delusions?
