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:

25. Mayhem Devil: too powerful

27. Nikya of the Old Ways: Centaurs are no longer part of Cumly Cube

Hey,

You're right — the deck is still a bit raw and definitely needs some improvements in card draw and mana ramp. Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I actually had some of these cards on my acquireboard already. I’ve now added Moldervine Reclamation and Sol Ring, and took out Serrated Scorpion and Chainweb Aracnir.

I also swapped Gloomwidow for Hoarding Recluse.

I’m waiting to see if Curse of Clinging Webs and Swarmyard become available in my local shop — if they do, I’ll definitely include them :)

Also, I'm still considering a few more cards for the deck, like Back for More, Archdruid's Charm, Obscuring Haze, Fog, Deathsprout, Tear Asunder, Terrifying Presence, You Look Upon the Tarrasque, Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip, Heroic Intervention, Vraska, the Silencer, Graveshifter, Juvenile Gloomwidow, Greta, Sweettooth Scourge, Broodspinner, Graverobber Spider, Nyx Weaver, Spinner of Souls, Worldly TutorGC, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Triumph of the Hordes, Rotwidow Pack, Sporeweb Weaver, Realmwalker, and a few others...

Hi there,

This looks fun but there's almost no additional mana sources in here, other than some of your artifacts. I would consider adding spells like Farseek, Nature's Lore and/or Three Visits to accelerate yourself a bit. Please also consider Sol Ring; it's more or less a staple in all EDH decks. Your ability to draw additional cards per turn is a bit limited too; maybe cards like Deathreap Ritual, Idol of Oblivion, Moldervine Reclamation and Phyrexian Arena can help you out there. These are all just the budget options; obviously there are more expensive choices one can make too.

Curse of Clinging Webs could be useful, automatic exile of any opposing creature that dies is useful against a number of opposing strategies, and the generation of spiders adds extra flavor to this deck. Maybe also consider Swarmyard; being able to regenerate your spiders is quite strong. Condering this is a golgari deck and you probably expect your spiders to die a lot, perhaps a card like Meren of Clan Nel Toth could be useful.

Hope the deck works for you.

Quady14 on Slimefoot, the Stowaway

1 year ago

Phew, I got kind of exhaustive with this so apologies in advance but Slimefoot's very nostalgic for me so it's my pleasure to pass along some of my includes I didn't see mentioned already. Hope it helps and from one fungus friend to another I wish you good luck!

Dina, Soul Steeper: teams up with Slimefoot's life gain on saproling death triggers and in a pinch she can be a mana sink sac outlet.

Priest of Forgotten Gods: Easily turns saprolings into extra damage, mana and card draw, probably one of my favorite value generators.

Psychotrope Thallid: Has gotten grossly $$$ for a utility add, but undeniably one of the better small Fungus creatures alongside Utopia Mycon to draw more sap generators and life drainers into your hand while executing your gameplan.

Vitaspore Thallid: You never know when a little haste can turn the tables to start tapping abilities early or stage a surprise Overrun or well-timed Song of Freyalise, I like including this fella just for that.

Body Count: Similar to Plumb the Forbidden this instantly reloads your hand when you (or an opponent) sweep your tokens.

Dig Up: Fun on-theme turn-1 ramp that can be Cleaved into a Diabolic Tutor. Not that that's very powerful or speedy but it's nice to have a flexible multitasker in the mix.

Gruesome Fate: Easy game ender for big damage if nobody quells your saproling-growing, you can do a one-two punch casting this first, then sacrificing your tokens if you can finish off the table.

Saproling Symbiosis: A saproling-specific Second Harvest effect that doubles its count based on all creatures, not just tokens, so your nontoken life drainers will contribute to the token generation as well.

Spontaneous Generation: After you get a huge hand with Plumb the Forbidden, Body Count, Snake Umbra and Keen Sense this will basically blow up your token army to preposterous size.

Saproling Burst: Old card with clumsy wording but for Slimefoot's purposes you can basically drop it on the board, gain 7 saprolings by removing all the Fading triggers thus killing the enchantment, which in turn destroys the tokens made with it. Another great big-damage finisher or surprise value play.

Fungal Plots: Despite Golgari colors I don't think Slimefoot benefits as much from recursion as others so this lets you use your graveyard as a token cultivating ground when your nontoken creatures die from removal or board wipes, plus gives you an outlet to sacrifice those saprolings two at a time for card draw and life gain. It does a lot for a low cost so I consider it an auto-include.

Night Soil: Selective graveyard hate to fuel token production, not as multifaceted as Fungal Plots above but a good token generator to have around in longer games along with Necrogenesis.

Moldervine Reclamation: Good, generalized Golgari card advantage and life gain on death triggers. A little expensive but well worth it if games trend longer.

Agent of the Iron Throne: Just a nice life drain enchantment from the D&D set, enchantments stick to the board better than creatures too so it can be worth the slot.

Snake Umbra: Same as Keen Sense if you slap this on Slimefoot, other than the Totem protection which is excellent for Commander, you get a card for every instance of damage thus making every saproling worth 3 cards in your average 4-player pod. Unless your tokens get mass bounced or exiled AND you don't have one of your many free sac outlets you'll never run out of fuel for the engine. This also makes Thought Vessel and Reliquary Tower worth considering in case you do end up holding a pile of good cards in hand, lol.

Verdant Embrace: Rounds out the Tendershoot Dryad & Verdant Force saproling-every-upkeep silliness with an aura you can pop onto your sturdiest creature so it sticks around.

Neko-Te: Last one and a weird one but Neko-Te on Slimefoot turns every death trigger into two damage so you'll kill your opponents in half the time/sacs. Good to shave down your turn clock to victory.

DemonDragonJ on Does Teysa Karlov's Ability Double …

2 years ago

I know that Teysa Karlov's static ability will double the triggered abilities of cards such as Dark Prophecy or Moldervine Reclamation, but will her ability also double the triggered ability of Wurmcoil Engine or similar cards?

Rotinaj on Budget Meren Eldrazi spawn

2 years ago

scottbaker91 I appreciate it! Great suggestions, most of them are quite expensive and will push the deckprice over the $70ish budget. I will consider a few for sure. Do you think I should remove Moldervine Reclamation? Or some other cards?

scottbaker91 on Budget Meren Eldrazi spawn

2 years ago

Some cards I would consider, in no particular order. IMO, you need more board control. Birthing Pod, Skullclamp, Parallel Lives, Doubling Season, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Infernal Genesis, Chatterfang, Squirrel General, Dauthi Voidwalker, Opposition Agent Tombstone Stairwell, Scroll Rack, Sadistic Hypnotist, Living Death, Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Toxic Deluge, Fleshbag Marauder, Attrition, Survival of the Fittest (expensive), Pernicious Deed, Defense of the Heart

Deathreap Ritual ---> Moldervine Reclamation

AguaEndless on Combo Commander

3 years ago

I like the list, but if you want easier combos Heliod, Sun-Crowned is a great card to start with if you wanna upgrade the deck. Tutors are used to make a deck win faster because they function as any card for an extra mana cost, usually finding your combo piece for a win. The more tutors you add the simpler the deck becomes making it much more consistent.

So if you wanna make Ghave a stronger commander I'd recommend adding at least a few tutors if you really wanna throw some money at the deck.

Skullclamp and Moldervine Reclamation adds card draw out the wazoo

Any "on death" pingers like Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, Blood Artist could add some value, The deck is practically Selesnya colored so making more use of out black could make the deck more fun even imo
