trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

5 months ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.4.2! 4 months ago, Cumly Cube 1.4.1 was released. This was the first minor update. As promised, minor tweaks would continue, both to fix any remaining imbalances and keep the card pool fresh. The following 36 swaps were made to remove two strategies that never found a home in Cumly Cube -- enchantments matter and Centaurs. Instead of trying to make them work, it was easier to remove them. On the other end of the spectrum, a few problematic cards were removed for being too powerful or annoying to play against. Some new cards bolster tribal synergies, while others search for specific planeswalkers, providing an interesting dynamic to look out for while drafting.

Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

REMOVED:

1. Aether Vial: too powerful

Krosan Warchief and Slinza, the Spiked Stampede are well within your house rules and would be quite great additions.

Love to see Wirewood Savage in use {G}

Your avg cmc is pretty high at 4+ so my suggestion might be a few more 1-2 drops; like Bloom Tender, Arcane Signet, etc

Krosan Warchief & Chancellor of the Tangle are interesting ideas too

Have fun!

Have you considered Contested Cliffs? Putting that land in can open up space for another land tutor card.

One card to consider is Krosan Warchief. That should help with your casting costs. Another that can do that, if at some point you wish to sprinkle a little black into your deck, is Leyline Prowler.

Hope this helps! Happy Hunting!

Phosphonothioic on Advice on tribal deck card …

5 years ago

Mainly, I'm wondering which would be seen as a better fit for my given deck. Quicksilver Amulet or Cryptic Gateway

Also, I'm looking for opinions on where to steer this deck if anywhere. There are so many viable Beasts that it's been hard for me to make card choices. Then you have cards like Fierce Empath which could be useful. So, advice is more than welcome. Thanks! (If someone could guide me in how to format this into a list, that'd also be appreciated. Sorry for the current format.)

Between the Krosan Warchief and Rhonas's Monument, you have enough ways to reduce cost that the amulet that is a bit of overkill. Garruk's Harbinger could be a pretty for adding more beast to your hand while not slowing down on aggro. Speaking of aggro, Rhythm of the Wild is pretty good. Also Kalonian Tusker is a pretty good alternative to Garruk's Companion (or extra copies). Hope this helps.

I dont know any good lists off hand but Wirewood Savage , Krosan Warchief , and Advocate of the Beast seem like some solid cards to build the core around.
