(How to restart all this? Delete my MinD…)

Q1: There is OVER 100 as a result. What would you'd delete out of 27 Card to make it to 100 Cards?

Q2: There are a lot of Card Draw Stuff here, & Mana Ramp I've recently experimented w/. As some are Wincons, which cards that can result in an instant win condition (SPOILER: There's plenty.) are just underwhelming compared to so many others? & what to keep out of these?

Q3: As we're dealing w/ quite some Card & Mana oversizing, There is only one true term that can separate the UG from just crap. It's the cost. When paying this, you can pay 0, or such a huge size. Since this applies to both Mana Ramp, Card Advantage, & even Creature Casts, I'll reiterate: What deserves to stay, & what is so underwhelming, that it gets the Hatchet?

Q4: As a Supplemental to Question 3: There is Unbound Flourishing also, which doubles the amount payed for . Is it worth the chop, or is it more useful than I'd expect?

Q5 FINAL: How many Spells is too many? Which ones in particular deserve the cleave?

Thanks for the help, if any. :)

Back. I'm assuming 5 Questions is too much here. So unless anyone can find something for me to fuse, I ponder as I also have other things to do; including a complete revising of another deck...

So, any suggestions? Any cuts? I'm pondering myself...

@cascadien: Yeah... I agree that Chulane is easily the better Legend. But one thing was left out of the Gates of Nyx as to WHY I chose Kruphix, God of Horizons instead:

  1. First of all; lore wise: He's a Goddamn Primordial God! Older than even Heliod, God of the Sun ; who is like a King of the Gods for the Plane of Theros; but Kruphix knows more outside of Theros than all its other Gods. He even knew of the Eldrazi's Existence, & that not even all 5 Major Gods & 10 (9 if you count that has no God.) Minor Gods's overall combined power can even effect Ulamog ; who is the Weakest of the 3 Titans. He's also one of my favorite Simic Cards of all time; & I'll mention why...

  2. ...Now. He's Indestructible; he's not that hard to cast from the Command Zone, any leftover Mana that would empty from the Mana Pool is retained, & converted to mana, which can be used freely so as long as Kruphix, God of Horizons is in play; in which, you kinda need to Exile him to destroy the Mana Reserve. Oh, & did I also mention HE'S A GODDAMN RELIQUARY TOWER ON LEGS!

  3. I dunno if you get this theme in mind, but: is a big factor in this deck; most notably in the use of Mana Ramp & Card Draw. There are several ways to Ramp for a HUGE number of Mana. Heck, Card Advantage isn't the only thing that benefits from Costed Stuff. This deck uses Creature Advantage by Pumping all that into an cost for a Myriad of abilities; be it a Mana Cost, or even a cost for an effect that requires it; sometimes effects.

4 FINAL. Did you even read the rules text for Unbound Flourishing ? This card is why I wanted to try Kruphix, God of Horizons one more time.

Sorry, but I'm not making Chulane anytime soon. Kruphix stays. & I just want some suggestions or cuts from this deck please. Any other ideas? I'll be waiting...

(Help is still wanted for this deck, & I'm posting to keep this alive.)

But first, a word to a certain someone...

cascadien, I really am sorry if my words were a really bit rash. I was trying to explain why I chose Kruphix, & nothing else. I have nobody to blame but myself. It's just that I wanted to use a myriad of spells; which can really help for just what you mentioned w/ Chulane, Teller of Tales : Several 2-Card Combos can make infinite mana; something not even Eldraine's Narrator that starts with: Once Upon a Time , & end with Happily Ever After can achieve as well. For creature Advantage, don't be so sure that Kruphix can do it to other creatures alone. Stuff like Psychosis Crawler ENDS GAMES. This also coincides with Card Draw; which there is already several of this that can potentially Deck Out your opponents before yourself.

This was what I was trying to convey the whole time. I hope you understand this now, right?

Regardless, I still need some help from some others. Does anyone want to help this cause also? There is still 27 cards left to slice...
