About Paranoid Delusions

Paranoid Delusions, Sorcery, designed by Christopher Moeller first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.12.

This card, Paranoid Delusions, would be beneficial in a control or mill deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a way to disrupt the opponent's library while potentially generating card advantage through the Cipher ability. However, there are more efficient mill cards available, such as Glimpse the Unthinkable or Mind Funeral, which can mill more cards for the same mana cost. While Paranoid Delusions could see situational play in a Cipher-focused deck, it may not be a top choice in competitive settings due to its limited impact compared to other mill options.

Rules

04/15/13

If a creature with an encoded card deals combat damage to more than one player simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected), the triggered ability will trigger once for each player it deals combat damage to. Each ability will create a copy of the exiled card and allow you to cast it.

04/15/13

If the spell with cipher doesn’t resolve, none of its effects will happen, including cipher. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be encoded on a creature.

04/15/13

If you want to encode the card with cipher onto a noncreature permanent such as a Keyrune that can turn into a creature, that permanent has to be a creature before the spell with cipher starts resolving. You can choose only a creature to encode the card onto.

04/15/13

The exiled card with cipher grants a triggered ability to the creature it’s encoded on. If that creature loses that ability and subsequently deals combat damage to a player, the triggered ability won’t trigger. However, the exiled card will continue to be encoded on that creature.

04/15/13

The spell with cipher is encoded on the creature as part of that spell’s resolution, just after the spell’s other effects. That card goes directly from the stack to exile. It never goes to the graveyard.

04/15/13

You cast the copy of the card with cipher during the resolution of the triggered ability. Ignore timing restrictions based on the card’s type.
