trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

4 months ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.4! Two months ago, Cumly Cube was updated to Cumly Cube 1.3, which was touted as balanced and without any notable flaws. There is no more insidious poison than hubris! Many cards remained that were too strong, or close to unplayable. Many archetypes existed in the cube but had too little support to ever be worth drafting. Many cards failed to fit the ethos of Cumly Cube. With 89 more cuts and adds, I am now pleased to announce that, this time, Cumly Cube has reached a final form! Perhaps a few cards are still too strong, too weak, or out of place, but the vast majority of the draft pool is now in an acceptable state. Any further changes to Cumly Cube 1 will exist as minor updates, swapping out only a few cards at a time. This means that there will never be a Cumly Cube 1.5, only 1.4.1, 1.4.2, etc.

Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

Hey, thanks. Glad you enjoyed my silly pile of cards. There's actually a convoluted combo with Tooth and Nail where you fetch Etali, Primal Conqueror  ^Flip and Bloodwater Entity, have BE put TaN back on top for Etali to flip, then go get Displacer Kitten and either Flaming Tyrannosaurus or Keeper of Secrets to burn the table and maybe keep blinking Etali off your opponents spells. It's not deterministic, but it's a flashy and fun Rube Goldberg machine.

keizerbuns on Milking a Miracle

Hey thanks, owenger! I think normally Serum Visions would be the better choice but Otherworldly Gaze can fill up my graveyard and help with setting up Bloodwater Entity with a wider selection of cards to choose from my graveyard. Plus it's basically two spells for the price of one card slot. I do agree that I do need more card drawing with my top deck manipulation so I am definitely going to add a few Brainstones.

I don't know how I missed adding in Temporal Mastery so that is going in immediately! I was thinking about running Terminus in the mainboard, but since the Bloodwater Entity is such a vital piece to this deck I decided it was better to run Devastation Tide instead so that way I'm only putting my Entity into my hand instead of losing him in my library.

I think you're right about the Ephemerates. I had those in there so I could blink Bloodwater Entity more reliably but I think 3 might be too many.

Thanks for the suggestions! They were very helpful :D

Thinking about going Jeskai. Jeskai Charm is incredibly good. Izzet Charm would be great for drawing. Uncovered Clues seems pretty good, considering I have 26 instants + sorceries out of 65 cards. Jori En, Ruin Diver and Bloodwater Entity seem good.

DemonDragonJ on What is your favorite combo …

5 years ago

One of my favorite combinations is to cast Primal Command while controlling Riku of Two Reflections, choosing the search for a creature mode (the other mode is irrelevant) and then copying it to find Bloodwater Entity and Coiling Oracle. I then cast the Bloodwater Entity to put the Primal Command atop of my library, and cast Coiling Oracle to put it directly into my hand (and, if I have sufficient mana to do so, I copy both creatures, meaning that I can recover two instants and/or sorceries).

DolanDark on Budget U/R Prowess

Thanks for the suggestion Epicurus. Bloodwater Entityseems pretty powerful, but you're right about my curve being throw off kilter. Also, Stealth Mission would be cool, if cards like Abrupt Decay, Fatal Push, Path to Exile and Assassin's Trophy weren't so prevalent in the format. Electrolyze snuck in as the only 3-drop mostly because it was quintessential against decks that went wide and it also helped with gaining card advantage. Many Prowess builds run Serum Visions but I honestly I didn't wanna be overloaded with card draw and no limited action.

As for your suggestion on Smash to Smithereens I'll most likely be keeping it as 2x copies in the sideboard. I build based on the modern meta, so I can't main-board artifact hate. I'm guessing your local metal runs a lot of artifact builds?
