You should add Fabled Passage, Wooded Foothills you should consider running cards like Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn, Bloodstained Mire, Windswept Heath, Verdant Catacombs, and Misty Rainforest Instead of cards like Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse Then also run Stomping Ground, Commercial District, Cinder Glade, and Taiga so that you don't get color screwed early.

Honorable mentions Sheltered Thicket, Highland Forest, and Wooded Ridgeline

Maybe a couple of Sacrifice or Burnt Offering? if people can reliably kill your Adnate I find it creates problems for your deck, do you have a different solution I'm not seeing?

Another thing I noticed when testing, I often wanted at least one Badlands in here, even Blood Crypt would have helped, IMHO Skitterbeam is a good card to hard cast for 3RR and not having fetchable untapped Mountains made that a hassle. I'd also look into more/other Fetchlands, at least some Scalding Tarn or Bloodstained Mire would help. IMHO if you're already on x4 Underground Sea Polluted Delta looks like a worse fit because it can't fetch a Basic Mountain ever, and either of the other fetches can find it OR a Mountain.

I really like this deck idea! Please keep us updated about how it progresses!

trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

5 months 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:

MTGBurgeoning on Magar the Horrible

6 months ago

Thanks for commenting! Soooo, no barriers??? Okay, if that's the case, we begin with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers. The burst black mana production can pay for multiple 1 and B activation costs of Magar. As long as we're upgrading the land base, other considerations include the less costly Fabled Passage, Raucous Theater and Blazemire Verge, the pricier Bloodstained Mire and Prismatic Vista, and the reach-for-the-sky Ancient TombGC and Badlands. As for spells, there aren't too many pricy Magar-friendly spells that I can recommend here, which is one of the great investment advantages of piloting a Magar build. A lot of the most impactful Magar-assisted spells are bulk rares and mythic rares. However, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the overall synergy of the deck by including Jeska's WillGC and Demonic TutorGC. Those two cards would make Magar very, very happy. One less costly spell that I want to add is Call Forth the Tempest, but a copy has not crossed my path yet. Another consideration, although I do not recommend it, is Wheel of Fortune. I do not recommend it because I prefer to NOT put so many additional cards in the hands of my opponents, regardless of how much it may wreck in-game and in-the-moment strategies by opponents. Aside from these Magar-friendly cards, the only other cards I would offer as considerations are support cards like Bone Miser, Deflecting SwatGC, and Deadly Rollick. Once you complete your build, I would LOVE to see what you have! Happy brewing!!

You know you have a well optimized deck when the first suggestion you receive is to swap out the ugly card art on Bloodstained Mire for the more aesthetically pleasing Bloodstained Mire version :D

Andramalech on THE BRAVE DO NOT FEAR THE GRAVE

Tulody that might be because this deck suffers from Prototype syndrome and lack of fetchlands (Scalding Tarn, Arid Mesa, Bloodstained Mire) both cheap and color-coded. I'm sure once the full set is revealed, that KongMing might make some updates.

wallisface on Rakdos Speed Aggro

11 months ago

Some thoughts:

• Dreadhorde Butcher is a very decent Rakdos aggro creature. Monastery Swiftspear also feels like a must.

• I don’t think either if the auras are worth it, they’re too likely to allow the opponent to 2-for-1 you with a killspell and immediately lose you the game through lost tempo.

• Fear of Missing Out is better than all your current 2-mana creatures and could lead to some really powerful turn-3 wins provided you can adjust the deck to reliably have delerium (playsets of Mishra's Bauble, Street Wraith could help with this. Ideally you'd also want Bloodstained Mire but I get that’s $$$).

Lord_Olga on Free Kittens!

For lands, Dragonskull Summit is great because it almost never comes in tapped, and Bloodstained Mire is great because you can grab what you need and also by tutoring the lands yoy thin lands out of your deck so you'll be more likely to draw things you need instead of unneeded land
