Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it and exile that card. Delirium — If there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, search that player's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with the same name as the exiled card, exile those cards, then that player shuffles.

Rulings (5)

The card types in Magic are artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, land, planeswalker, and sorcery. Supertypes (such as legendary and basic) and subtypes (such as Human and Equipment) are not counted.

If there is no nonland card to choose, and you have four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, you'll search that player's library even though you won't be able to find any cards. That library will be shuffled.

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.
