Sludge Monster

Creature — Horror

When Sludge Monster enters the battlefield or attacks, put a slime counter on up to one other target creature.

Non-Horror creatures with slime counters on them lose all abilities and have base power and toughness 2/2.

Hybrow on Volo's Pan and Harmonicon

3 weeks ago

Yahh.. i have stayed away from legendary creatures, because only one gets put into play (other ETB's then dies).

Also, Cascade doesnt work with Volo's ability. The first Sweet-Gum Recluse you cast gets its cascade, but the second doesnt because YOU didnt cast it.. And then, whatever creature cascades out of your deck doesnt get duplicated by Volo's ability because you didnt CAST that either.

I happened to have an Apex Devastator, so threw it in, because 4 cascades is pretty good, but a creature with a single cascade doesn't really synergize with Volo. But it was a real kick in the pants when I found out my copy of him didnt get 4 cascades as well. Below are a couple honourable mentions in mine.

Sludge Monster -- targeted removal

Prosperous Innkeeper -- life gain

Beastcaller Savant for ramp pays for himself first turn (if you duplicate)

Reef Worm - protection from board wipes

Depending on if any overlap with some creatures in your deck, these are all pretty cheap adds, I ended up needing a spreadsheet to keep my creature types straight, lol. I made sure to have no Legendary, Humans, or Wizards... and not one duplicate creature type.

Topiary Stomper --land fetch

Sludge Monster -- targeted removal

Lord of Change -- draw

Prosperous Innkeeper -- life gain

Beastcaller Savant for ramp pays for himself first turn (if you duplicate)

Reef Worm - protection from board wipes

I would also recommend changing out some creatures that are underperforming for stuff like Cultivate, Circuitous Route, Explosive Vegetation, and Kodama's Reach .. my Volo tends to be pretty mana hungry.

If you are looking for creatures with attached ETBs,

Topiary Stomper --land fetch

Sludge Monster -- targeted removal

Lord of Change -- draw

Prosperous Innkeeper -- life gain

Beastcaller Savant for ramp pays for himself first turn (if you duplicate)

Reef Worm - protection from board wipes

FYI, Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip doesnt dup, because he is human (same as volo). Also, I found out that apparently Cascade doesnt work with Volo's ability. You dont get the token spell's Cascades ... because the second one YOU didnt cast.... Apex Devastator is still totally worth it for the first 4 cascades

You'll want to add Sludge Monster. It makes use of slime tokens as well and will nearly board wipe on the second turn when combined with Toxrill. you might also look at cards that proliferate. Mass Diminish is handy in combination with Toxrill as well.

i think Sludge Monster would be a good include. also Maskwood Nexus / Arcane Adaptation / Conspiracy

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
