trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

1 week ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.3! Two years ago, Cumly Cube was updated to Cumly Cube 1.2, creating a balanced cube and wonderful play experience for all involved. Despite these changes, there remained some minor flaws in the card pool. I am now pleased to announce that, after extensive research and design, Cumly Cube has reached a final form. No card is too powerful. No card is too weak. Synergy is abundant. Both the draft and play experiences are dynamic, exciting, and new. There will be no more major updates to Cumly Cube 1.

120 cards have been removed, and 120 cards have been added. Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

This looks interesting, but I do have a couple of questions.

You mention it takes skill with card sequencing and tactical thinking, plus some luck, to win. How much skill vs. luck is in the game? How much would I be able to overcome bad luck with strong play, or recover from a misplay through luck or skill?

How rigid is the precon deck? It looks like if it was loaded with burn spells and hasty creatures, every game would be a turn 1 win, so you clearly put effort into balancing it and making it variable. But how much would you allow someone else to change it? For example, with damage caps, singleton cards, and no blockers, could Ancestral Anger be exchanged for any other card that lets you draw a card, for example Bandage?

saber4734 on Feather, the Cruel Striker

2 years ago

So I haven't looked over your deck yet but there are a few I stant spells that give +1/+1 or +2/+2 and indestructible. So it helps do both of what you want to do. Also consider cards like Niveous Wisps, Guided Strike, Bandage and Defiant Strike to draw cards.

2 that i can see dropping is Bandage and Heal. Its mostly there to cycle through your deck and i think that these two can go compared to all of the other cantrip cycles you have in your deck already. The effect itself is situational as most spells dealing damage is from creatures blocking or direct damage spells but they usually do 2-3 or over kill in which these two wont matter much. Especially if you have protection or indestructible on feather. Dont get me wrong, cycle is important but i think you got plenty of cards that can cycle.

Hey, good version and nice deck description with some interesting card choices.

I think if you want to play both Zada and Mirrorwing that you also want a more robust token theme because that's how you get tons of value from these creatures. The only reason Precursor works here is because it creates tokens and it's a weak card. You only have 13 creatures including Feather; without tokens you don't have enough creatures for Zada and Mirrorwing to make enough value for their mana costs. For example without tokens Bandage for one mana on each player's turn could repeatedly draw more cards quicker than Zada.

Strixhaven and Modern Horizons 2 have at least two cards that have been upgrades in Feather. Blacksmith's Skill is an upgrade of a protection spell, giving both indestructibility and hexproof for one mana. When you target a permanent if it's a creature you control then it will trigger Feather. The spell doesn't have to say target creature, target permanent works if the permanent is a creature.

Mavinda, Students' Advocate ability seems that it was designed for Feather since playing so many low CMC instants that target a creature you control. Once on each player's turn you can cast an instant (on your turn you could cast a sorcery instead) from your graveyard that targets a creature. If you control Feather she triggers to put that spell into exile before it goes to the graveyard. Then at the next end step that spell is returned to your hand to be cast at next player's turn.

Mavinda is similar to Dreadhorde Arcanist , but is actually an upgrade since can use his ability on each player's turn rather than once when you attack with Arcanist. There's so many one and two drop instants that having to pay mana to cast the spell with Mavinda is a tiny drawback. Mavinda and Arcanist are backup ways to cast instants or sorceries from your graveyard with or without Feather and with Feather it's busted repeatable recursion.

Good luck with your deck.

Heal could be Bandage, which in almost every scenario will be better for you.

Healer's Hawk has been out for a while now. Have you made the switch? It should definitely be there over Suntail Hawk.

Icatian Javelineers can ping a Delver or something annoying for free.

Sunlance is great removal for mono-White. I would play it over Pressure Point. You could also just play Journey to Nowhere for the same cost.

Kor Skyfisher is one of the best common White creautres, period. It can pick up some of your utility lands in the mid game for extra value, or draw you an extra card with the Inspector, or if you play the Javelineers you can reset the counter for more ping, or you can reset a Journey to Nowhere onto a better target. I would definitely play that over Tundra Wolves.

I think you could cut to 17 lands with this deck. You won't need more than 2-3 lands and can easily keep 1-land hands in most cases. If you end up playing Battle Screech you might consider going up to 18-19 lands, though.

Icbrgr on Mono White Aura Heroic

5 years ago

I dig it. something to consider is Brave the Elements because it can save/provide evasion to multiple creatures... otherwise i think the biggest issue in mono-white is access to draw/cantrips.... perhaps Pentarch Ward can fit the them of auras as well as replace itself....maybe Bandage could help win some races by cantripping and triggering heroic?
