Soul Swallower, Creature — wurm, designed by Izzy first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.
This card, Soul Swallower, would benefit a deck that focuses on filling the graveyard with various card types quickly, such as a Delirium-themed deck. While it can become a powerful threat with its ability to grow with +1/+1 counters, there are potentially better options depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Tarmogoyf or Death's Shadow, which offer immediate impact without the need to wait for conditions like Delirium. Whether Soul Swallower should see play ultimately depends on the overall synergy and strategy of the deck it is included in.

Because you consider only the characteristics of a double-faced card’s front face while it’s not on the battlefield, the types of its back face won’t be counted for delirium.

Most triggered delirium abilities use an intervening “if” clause. There must be four or more card types among cards in your graveyard in order for these abilities to trigger, otherwise they never trigger at all. There’s no way to have the ability trigger if there aren’t enough card types, even if you intend to raise that number in response to the triggered ability. The number of card types is checked again as the trigger resolves, and if it has become too low somehow, the ability does nothing. If which card types are in your graveyard changes but the quantity of card types stays the same (or increases), then the delirium triggered ability will still resolve.

The card types in Magic are artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, planeswalker, sorcery, and tribal (a card type that appears on some older cards). Supertypes (such as legendary and basic) and subtypes (such as Human and Equipment) are not counted.
