trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

2 years ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.1! 6 months ago, Cumly Cube was launched to resounding approval. However, in response to feedback from fans, several cards in the pool were deemed unplayable, uninteresting, or overpowered. For Cumly Cube's six month anniversary, I have chosen to update the card pool. Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

REMOVED:

• Abomination: too weak in power level
• Anger of the Gods: while board wipes are an essential part of the game, this card is too simple in effect in comparison to other red board wipes in the card pool
• Birthing Pod: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
• Black Dragon: too weak in power level
• Black Lotus: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Bloodcurdling Scream: too weak in power level
• Cavalier of Night: too on-theme for a black card
• Cinderclasm: while board wipes are an essential part of the game, this card is too simple in effect in comparison to other red board wipes in the card pool
• Dack Fayden: too powerful
• District Guide: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
• Dockside Extortionist: too strong in multiplayer games considering the dominance of the "treasure matters" archetype in this card pool
• Dread Reaper: too weak in power level
• Edric, Spymaster of Trest: too powerful
• Eviscerator: too weak in power level
• Grim Strider: too weak in power level
• Hypnox: too weak in power level
• Jungle Creeper: too weak in power level
• Mind Bomb: too weak in power level
• Mox Emerald: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Mox Jet: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Mox Pearl: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Mox Ruby: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Mox Sapphire: this card and other "power 9" cards have been removed from the pool to allow players to play with less well known cards
• Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver: too weak in power level
• Nix: too weak in power level
• Obelisk of Alara: too weak in power level
• Patagia Golem: too weak in power level
• Phantasmagorian: too weak in power level
• Prismite: too weak in power level
• Rootcoil Creeper: synergizes poorly with the rest of the card pool
• Shattering Blow: too strong of an answer to the artifact archetype
• Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip: MDFCs are interesting cards, but it does not make sense to have only one in the card pool
• Smelt: too strong of an answer to the artifact archetype
• Smog Elemental: too weak in power level
• Spirit of the Night: too weak in power level
• Storm Spirit: too weak in power level
• Tibalt's Trickery: introduces too much variance for an enjoyable experience
• Unholy Strength: too weak in power level
• Vampiric Link: too on-theme for a black card
• Wooded Bastion: this was included on error instead of its Golgari counterpart

ADDED:

• Alpha Authority: an interesting enchantment that should help protect large creatures
• Archfiend of Spite: a strong value play or reanimation target for black, which was deemed the lowest in power level upon initial testing
• Blade Splicer: works well with the artifact and golem archetypes, plus is a human for tribal matters cards
• Chillbringer: works well with the blue aggro archetype, plus is an elemental for tribal matters cards
• Comet Storm: an interesting damage spell that will be replacing more typical red board wipes
• Crippling Chill: works well with the disruptive blue plan
• Darksteel Forge: a strong payoff for the artifact archetype
• Diabolic Tutor: a solid addition to black
• Distant Melody: a strong value play for tribal decks
• Door of Destinies: another tribal matters card
• Dread Presence: a solid addition to black
• Flashfreeze: a conditional counter spell
• Funeral Rites: a solid addition to black
• Golem Foundry: works well with the artifact and golem archetypes
• Gyruda, Doom of Depths: companions are now part of the card pool! This one fits well with the reanimation archetype
• Icehide Golem: works well with the artifact and golem archetypes
• Illuminated Folio: an artifact draw engine, common in this card pool
• In Bolas's Clutches: a strong and fun card
• Infernal Contract: a solid addition to black
• Jegantha, the Wellspring: this companion is an elemental for tribal matters cards
• Keruga, the Macrosage: this companion is an incentive to play with some of the clunkier but more fun cards in the cube
• Kokusho, the Evening Star: a solid addition to black and a dragon for tribal matters cards
• Lifecrafter's Bestiary: a strong draw engine for green creature decks, an archetype not well supported in this card pool
• Loyal Retainers: works well with the reanimate archetype, plus is a human for tribal matters cards
• Mindleech Mass: a strong reanimation target and payoff for black decks, plus is a horror for tribal matters cards
• Moldervine Reclamation: a strong draw engine and another enabler for lifegain decks
• Monastery Mentor: a strong payoff for prowess decks, an archetype not well supported in this card pool
• Morophon, the Boundless: another tribal matters card
• Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh: a strong card used to bolster Grixis in the card pool
• Pact of the Serpent: a strong value play for tribal decks
• Retrofitter Foundry: works well with the artifact archetype
• Skeletal Wurm: a strong reanimation target and payoff for black decks
• Sludge Monster: a good creature that works very well with Toxrill, the Corrosive, plus is a horror for tribal matters cards
• Sorin's Vengeance: a payoff for black that may add diversity to deck archtypes
• Soul Foundry: yet another artifact engine that is a major part of this card pool
• Storm the Vault  ^Flip: this card was meant to be included in the pool originally for the "treasure matters archetype"
• Teferi, Timebender: another Teferi planeswalker, included mainly to justify the continued inclusion of Teferi's Sentinel
• Time Elemental: a soft lock with Stasis and also a good interactive card for blue decks
• Torgaar, Famine Incarnate: a strong reanimation target and payoff for black decks
• Twilight Mire: this card was meant to be included in the pool originally and is good fixing for Golgari, a color combination encouraged in this pool
• Worldfire: a very wacky card that is the epitome of Cumly Cube

I'd advice to take out the Jungle Creeper. It does exactly what you don't need in this deck (cost you mana for comming back from your graveyard to YOUR HAND instead of the field). Also you could add a Gonti, as it brings you extra value when ETB ;-)So my suggestion: 4 creepers out and 3 Bontu the Glorified and 1 Gonti, Lord of Luxury in, maybe Noxious Gearhulk and Verdurous Gearhulk could also be a considertion..
