A deck that focuses on reanimating creatures from the graveyard would benefit from including Phyrexian Delver, as it provides a way to bring back powerful creatures at the cost of life. While there are other reanimation cards like Reanimate or Animate Dead that have lower mana costs and do not require losing life, Phyrexian Delver's ability to return a creature directly to the battlefield can be advantageous in certain situations. Whether or not it should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck in question.
