About Manic Scribe
Manic Scribe, Creature — human wizard, designed by Matt Stewart first released in Apr, 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.61.
A control or mill deck would benefit from using Manic Scribe in Magic: the Gathering, as it helps to mill the opponent's deck and trigger delirium consistently. While Manic Scribe is a decent card for its cost, there are better options like Hedron Crab or Glimpse the Unthinkable that offer more efficient milling potential and impact. However, if you're looking to build a budget deck or focus on triggering delirium, Manic Scribe could still see play in certain strategies.
Rules
04/08/16
In some rare cases, you can have a token or a copy of a spell in your graveyard at the moment that an object’s delirium ability counts the card types among cards in your graveyard, before that token or copy ceases to exist. Because tokens and copies of spells are not cards, even if they are copies of cards, their types will never be counted.
04/08/16
The number of card types matters, not the number of cards. For example, Wicker Witch (an artifact creature) along with Catalog (an instant) and Chaplain’s Blessing (a sorcery) will enable delirium.
04/08/16
The upkeep step is before the draw step, after the untap step. Manic Scribe’s delirium ability mills an opponent’s library before that player draws a card during their draw step.
