This Gurmag Angler card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on filling the graveyard quickly, such as a self-mill or graveyard recursion strategy. It can be a powerful late-game threat that can be cast for a reduced cost through Delve. However, there are other cards like Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Tombstalker that offer similar effects and may be more versatile in certain situations. Gurmag Angler could see play in decks looking for a big creature finisher that can be cast for a low cost, but its inclusion would depend on the specific needs and strategy of the deck.

Rules

03/19/21

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.

03/19/21

Delve doesn’t change a spell’s mana cost or converted mana cost. For example, Treasure Cruise’s converted mana cost is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

11/24/14

You can’t exile cards to pay for the colored mana requirements of a spell with delve.

11/24/14

You exile cards from your graveyard at the same time you pay the spell’s cost. Exiling a card this way is simply another way to pay that cost.
