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:

i love the concept for this deck! Seems like a fun alternative to things like Cleansing Wildfire-esc strategies. The only things that stand out to me is that i think running either Generous Ent or Oliphaunt instead of Sagu Wildling is probably worthwhile. Also a couple other cards that came to mind were Malevolent Rumble as it helps dig for bounce lands or a threat. As well as Bannerhide Krushok as it can either reinforce as a nice little instant speed buff turning Arboreal Grazer or Coiling Oracle into an actual creature or krushok can be your 4-drop if you dont draw Writhing Chrysalis. Then once you've ramped a bunch you can scavenge the krushok to turn anything into an immediate threat. But seriously dope list love the idea

Sword of Forge and Frontier - I have considered this before, but its really hard to jam it in right now. As for the protection, I got green covered by Commander's Plate and Sword of Feast and Famine. The draw back for the protection from red though, is that I may not be able to equip with my red equipment.
Ghost Quarter - I used to have this in, and then I replaced it with Tectonic Edge, and then finally with Wasteland.
Cleansing Wildfire - I just realized it is some sort of a cantrip. Seems nice, but I can barely make space for it as of now.
Goblin Welder - yup, I'm aware of this, but I rarely have my artifact stuff blown up, although I'm reconsidering this goblin dude.

When I looked through the Swords the only other one that seemed worth a spot here was Sword of Forge and Frontier (protection from dragons/protection from green removal/red exile card draw/green ramp)
War's Toll is sort of like the original Stranglehold. Top tier red enchantments.
Speaking of Stranglehold, I see the Fissure and the Wasteland. Would these be upgraded for the synergy in Ghost Quarter and Cleansing Wildfire?
Running Great Furnace but no Goblin Welder trickery in an artifact deck?!

You can lean hard into Kuldotha Rebirth + Dread Return. I think it's a way more interesting combo than just using Exhume like most reanimator decks. Generally I find pauper reanimator a boring archetype but this could be really cool. Churn through your deck with Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion, etc. Play setup cards like Gold Pan to give you an artifact plus more mana and lategame potential equipment. Crashing Drawbridge is a board wide haste enabler, and an artifact if needed. If you want to lean harder into reanimating artifact creatures, Argivian Restoration is a neat reanimator spell. Notably it also ramps you if you target an artifact land which is funny. Cleansing Wildfire can target your indestructible artifact duals to ramp you a basic and draw you a card for 2 mana which is awesome interaction. I would avoid using Exhume
if possible because by giving the opponent a blocker, even if you trample through it, it will make you take longer to kill the opponent and give them more time to remove your threats and disable your deck. It also works against your removal by giving them their scariest cards you already spent resources removing back for free.
Overall I would focus on having fewer but stronger reanimator targets and just using Dread Return + Kuldotha Rebirth. Play some madness cards like Dark Withering, Brain Gorgers, Kitchen Imp, Terminal Agony, Hell Mongrel, Reckless Wurm, etc. That way you're playing cheap aggressive threats with your Dark Ritual's and Lotus Petal's while filling your graveyard with your hyper efficient discard. Less worrying about casting as many reanimation spells and more focus on being aggressive while you set up will get you the damage you need early on to deal with blockers and close the game quicker.

Thank you for your input, Sliverguy420. Some of what you posted about Cleansing Wildfire is how I described it in the Ramp & Draw section of my deck description. It's the primary reason why it's in there. However it can reduce the Opponent's mana if the opponent has no basic lands in their deck. Though I acknowledge that is as likely to happen about around as often as gaining life from Thermokarst.
Once I have two green producing lands, two red producing lands and a black producing land on the battlefield, there's other benefits to having Cleansing Wildfire the deck. Lands with activated abilities can be neutralized. Combined with Reclaiming Vines and Vandalize, it stops artifact lands from contributing to cards with Affinity for Artifacts. And, most importantly, it forces opponents to pull lands from their library to be targets of the next land destruction spell. Thus, like Vandalize, and to a much greater extent Destroy the Evidence, it feeds the graveyard.
However you do have a point about the mana curve and I will take lowering it in consideration each time I make changes.
Thank you again for your input, for reading me out, and May You Draw Well!

4 and 5 mana is too expensive for land destruction. by the time you're able to cast those, the opponent will already have the lands they need and it'll be turn 8 before Roiling Terrain can even do the same damage as a Lightning Bolt. you'd want cards like Thermokarst, Sinkhole, Molten Rain, Pillage, and Choking Sands. Cleansing Wildfire doesn't reduce your opponents mana, and so it's usually used in combination with indestructible lands to ramp yourself, rather than destroy an opponent's lands.

Thoughcast is a fine card. What i meant is that in the age when Meltdown and Wrath of the Skies are common in sideboards, cards that only work when you have lotsa artifacts on the field fall into the "now i win even harder" school of deckbuilding.
They work fine when you are ahead and unopposed, but they are a liability when opponents pack hate cards.
Sure they are explosive. Sadly that aint an important quality in durdly midrange-ish decks. Not accidentally folding to hate cards aimed at other decks is more important, when the deck is too slow to "win before hate card resolves".
And well i have to strongly disagree with your take on land destruction. I agree that ramping provided by Cleansing Wildfire and Geomancer's Gambit is great. But i cannot agree with the rest of what you wrote. Most modern decks rarely run much basic, typically they run less than 3. And to say the least most such decks cannot function on 2 or less lands. As such the Stone Rain impressio of the field cards is very relevant.
Sadly Ghost Quarter is inferior, due to leaving you with fewer lands when you activate it. As much as there is nostalgia for it, its still aint great.
And Leonin Arbiter is completely unnecessary, when people don't have basic to search for anyways.
