Introducing Cumly Cube 1.4.3! 4 months ago, Cumly Cube 1.4.2 was released. Two archetypes were discontinued, and an interesting new dynamic was added with cards that search for specific planeswalkers. This update is even smaller. Only 14 swaps are being made. That being said, it might be quite impactful, as Saprolings are getting a huge boost.

Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

REMOVED:

1. Ancient Den: artifact lands have been removed as they are too low impact
2. Brightwood Tracker: too weak
3. Corrosion: too targeted and powerful against artifact decks
4. Frontier Guide: removed to provide a new identity for elves in Cumly Cube
5. Gloom Sower: too weak
6. Great Furnace: artifact lands have been removed as they are too low impact
7. Jeskai Sage: too weak
8. Knotvine Mystic: removed to provide a new identity for elves in Cumly Cube
9. Prismatic Vista: too powerful
10. Remorseful Cleric: too targeted and powerful against graveyard decks
11. Seat of the Synod: artifact lands have been removed as they are too low impact
12. Snubhorn Sentry: too weak
13. Tree of Tales: artifact lands have been removed as they are too low impact
14. Vault of Whispers: artifact lands have been removed as they are too low impact

ADDED:

1. Arena: an interesting land that could provide for cool dynamics
2. Bellowing Aegisaur: supports the Dinosaur creature type
3. Detective's Satchel: supports artifact strategies and the Thopter creature type
4. Evolving Wilds: a solid option for color fixing at an appropriate power level
5. Fungal Sprouting: supports the Saproling creature type
6. Golgari Germination: supports the Saproling creature type
7. Jund Battlemage: supports the Elf and Saproling creature types
8. Korozda Guildmage: supports the Elf and Saproling creature types
9. Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter: supports the Thopter creature type
10. Saproling Migration: supports the Saproling creature type
11. Selesnya Guildmage: supports the Elf and Saproling creature types
12. Shroofus Sproutsire: supports the Saproling creature type
13. Tana, the Bloodsower: supports the Saproling creature type
14. Terramorphic Expanse: a solid option for color fixing at an appropriate power level

Suggestions:

• Ash Barrens, Evolving Wilds, and Terramorphic Expanse with Command Tower, Command Power Plant, and Command Mine. 3 land swap to replace land consistency with mana flexibility.
• the 10 Ravnica signets with: Reliquary Tower, Reflecting Pool, Path of Ancestry, The World Tree, Second City, Exotic Orchard, Reflective Gate, Commander's Sphere, Vexing Puzzlebox, and Guided Passage. 10 artifacts for 7 lands, 2 artifacts, and 1 sorcery [10 total]. This reduces rate of low/no-land hands while still offering mana flexibility and other utility.
• 2 of each basic land for the OG duals: Savannah, Scrubland, Taiga, Bayou, Underground Sea, Plateau, Tundra, Tropical Island, Volcanic Island, Badlands. This increases consistency in mana flexibility.
• Kibo, Uktabi Prince with Yes Man, Personal Securitron. Direct group hugging that ultimately rewards you when Yes dies.
• Harrow with The Ring Goes South. Due to the high density of Legends, this will simply net more lands.
• Tempt with Mayhem with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder. This replaces a situational spell with a short-term hand filter that turns into a value engine land after transforming.
• Skyscribing with Choice of Fortunes. This swaps a costly recurring draw/big draw spell with a draw 2 that also grands infinite hand size.
• Noble Heritage with Noble Benefactor. This trades a temperamental protection for an easily activated tutor.
• Caged Sun with Chromatic Orrery. Caged Sun does not well benefit 5color decks, while Orrery perfectly mana fixes while flexing as a draw engine if necessary.
• Well of Knowledge for Dictate of Kruphix. Kruphix does it for free. Benevolent Offering for Selvala, Explorer Returned. Lower impact but Selvala is stable resource generation plus mana and life.
• Fact or Fiction with Defense of the Heart. Unfortunately FoF is a one-shot injection of cards while Defense pulls creatures of your choice to better toolbox situations.
• Alliance of Arms, The Second Doctor, and Acorn Catapult with Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Norn's Annex. Pillow forting a little always helps.
• Plated Pegasus with Wheel of Fortune. Spell damage is less common than abilities, so better replace it with a hand refill.

Try these out.

You could consider adding a copy or two of Spider Spawning as a payoff when games go long and you've wiped your own board. The flashback means it's totally fine even if it gets milled by a Nyx Weaver or something. On the subject of self-mill, Broodspinner seems like a decent option that could fit in by itself or with a delirium package including cards like Ishkanah, Grafwidow, Grist, the Hunger Tide, The Swarmweaver, Twitching Doll, and maybe some Mulch/Grapple with the Past type effects. You'd probably want some fetches for that plan, even if only Evolving Wilds, and definitely at least one artifact.

You know what DragonMaster420, you're right.

It's not really a major factor, but I'd grown accustomed to fixing my decks with cards such as Evolving Wilds or Terramorphic Expanse or anyone of the other worse fetchlands, but I'd need a critical mass for it to make a huge difference.

I could update this in time, so thanks for pointing that out.

My suggestion is to commit more heavily to 0 mana value spells including, but not limited to, Darksteel Relic, Everflowing Chalice, Memnite and Ornithopter, in addition to what you already have in your deck and sideboard. Then you can either add any combination of Energy Chamber, Power Conduit and Rise and Shine to boost them up for later in the game. Otherwise, I don't see how you can get Erayo flipped on the turn you bring her out.

I think the important thing to remmber here is just because it needs four spells in a turn to flip, doesn't mean you have to bear the whole load. If you choose not to go the 0 mana value route, my suggestion is to move both of your copies of Chalice of the Void to the Sideboard and replace them and your copies of Reprieve with three copies each of Mana Tithe and Spell Pierce. That way you can cast counter spells on their turn and flip it on their turn. You'll lose out on the card draw a bit but with a full playset of Karn, late game card advantage should be chiefly from your sideboard anyway.

Speaking of Sideboards, I think you may have to rethink it. Unless you are going find a spot for Living Wish in your library, it should be exclusively artifacts. I think it would be important to concentrate in the early game to the Erayo/High Noon combo and then use Karn to bring out Mycosynth Lattice(expensive, money wise, but the only way to end the Karn/ML combo is if someone uses Inspiring Statuary to cast Introduction to Annihilation or Scour from Existence) to target Karn.

Leonin Arbiter is good, but you have at least five fetch lands where paying 1 life and then an additional {2} to search for a land when you can play Rampant Growth for the same function doesn't make a lotta sense. If you insist on fetch lands My suggestion is to replace them with a full playset of Fabled Passage or a combination of Escape Tunnel, Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse so you can have a little more mana flexibility. Otherwise, I'd recommend investing in a full playset of Spara's Headquarters and add Crucible of Worlds to the sideboard. Then, at least, if you choose to keep Boseiju in your sideboard you can play it from the graveyard after using it's Channel ability.

I see the biggest weakness for your deck in the lack of a finisher. Using noncreature artifacts from the sideboard, activating Karn's first loyalty ability and then using Noble Hierarch's exalted ability to pump them up is the best option for this kind of deck. If you consider different cards for your sideboard may I suggest any combination of Encroaching Mycosynth, Mirror Box and Mirror Gallery for using Karn as your finisher?

I'm no expert on Stax, but these are the routes I would consider. I know this was a lot. Thank you for reading me out. I hope it helps. Happy Hunting!

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

Gatekeeper of Malakir is Sheoldred's Edict.

Since you're going so low to the ground, I would test out Aether Vial and see if that's something you like.

Bloodghast's landfall ability is hella busted. Prismatic Vista (or Fabled Passage if you're on a more sensible budget) could work amazing. Maybe Evolving Wilds can work in your meta if it's more laid back. The sacrifice trigger also works well with Fatal Push.
