trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

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:

1. Aether Vial: too powerful

I like the idea of being really cheap and fast. However, with 16 land, you'll rarely ever play Chandra, Pyrogenius. But otherwise, I like it a lot. Possibly remove Liberating Combustion and Flame Lash because of the cost as well. Pyromancer's Assault is a good card for your deck, but you have no spells to draw cards so you may run out of gas quick and be top decking. I suggest putting in Tormenting Voice or Cathartic Reunion and Cryptic Serpent. With these cards you'll be drawing a lot more and also be able to pump your Enigma Drake like crazy.

Yeah, I've actually already replaced Liberating Combustion with 2 more Flame Lash. But I've been wanting to put something in like Burn from Within or Ravaging Blaze in. To give me way more options late game! 4 damage from lash is good, but if I have 10 mana open and only 1 card in hand, that card being something like Burn from Within I could really do some damage!

I've mainly been using Spontaneous Artist to set up Dragon-Style Twins and Brazen Wolves with haste! But I've been wanting to get rid of most of my creatures without haste for ones that do have it! I would like to keep Dragon-Style Twins though. All creatures having haste will speed it up.

I'm amazed at that Avaricious Dragon. That would be perfect! Too many times I've been sitting there late game with no cards in hand, all my mana open, like COME ON this next draw is gonna be what I need! Draw..... It's a mountain! Haha a

I agree, I like it because it can get bigger as the game progresses. But in my red deck I also run 4x Lightning Strike, and 4x Flame Lash, and have 2x Liberating Combustion in the sideboard.

But for this deck, I would defiantly want something that gives me the option to target a player.

Gotcha, I was planning on upgrading my account this Friday so I'll wait till then!

Thanks for all your help, appreciate it!

The nice thing about Chandra, Pyrogenius is Liberating Combustion, but that combo would most likely also need some added mana-ramp
