theNeroTurtle on One-card wins

1 month ago

capwner, the only downside outside of getting countered is someone forcing you to draw a card before the ETB triggers resolve. I used to run Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and a few sac outlet cards just for that. But, my pod does play draw and mill, so I took it out to keep the suspense.

theNeroTurtle on Adventure Surge

I run a Primal Surge build.

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre + any sac-outlet like Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar keeps you safe from someone that might force you to draw after Surge resolves prior to your combat phase or your cards resolve on the stack.

TheoryCrafter on Building fungus go tall

4 months ago

Tear Asunder is a card I would recommend to anyone running {BG} in their decks. At two mana it gets rid of Darksteel Colossus. At four it gets rid of Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre.

I know it's not a fungus, but Slippery Bogbonder is another card I would recommend. Sometimes, you're going to come into a scenario where you may need to activate an ability multiple times only to find your spore counters are too spread out. Or you come across a spell where you have to pick a creature and lose the rest. This card will solve this problem.

A good way to resist board wipes is The Ozolith.

If I think of any others I will be sure to post here. It would be cool if you would please post the deck either as a point of reference or when you are done so we may see the end result. Happy Hunting!

trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

5 months ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.4! Two months ago, Cumly Cube was updated to Cumly Cube 1.3, which was touted as balanced and without any notable flaws. There is no more insidious poison than hubris! Many cards remained that were too strong, or close to unplayable. Many archetypes existed in the cube but had too little support to ever be worth drafting. Many cards failed to fit the ethos of Cumly Cube. With 89 more cuts and adds, I am now pleased to announce that, this time, Cumly Cube has reached a final form! Perhaps a few cards are still too strong, too weak, or out of place, but the vast majority of the draft pool is now in an acceptable state. Any further changes to Cumly Cube 1 will exist as minor updates, swapping out only a few cards at a time. This means that there will never be a Cumly Cube 1.5, only 1.4.1, 1.4.2, etc.

Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

Be_Jamin on What happens if Colossal Grave-Reaver …

8 months ago

If Colossal Grave-Reaver is on the battlefield and I mill either Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, do the triggers happen at the same time? If so, am I able to order them? I would want to have either Ulamog or Kozilek triggers to happen first and then Grave-Reaver's. That way I can keep the eldrazi in my library rather than the battlefield.

But, if I do have Colossal Grave-Reaver's triggers resolve first then the eldrazi's would the eldrazi trigger happen if they are not in the graveyard?

IlLupo643 on What if WotC Skipped the …

9 months ago

If we skipped the battle I wouldn't have to fight against them...

Personally id have been fiiiine with it. Nothing jams mu day more then a surprise Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre.

Though, I am team Dragonlords. I too was upset to see it skipped over, giving the Dragonlords a single printing in almost all respects.

Story spoilers Show

The Dragonlords were driven i to the storms like Sarkhan. And Sarkhan is not dead. No body, no death. So i still have hope.

Woehrlebird, I delete decks often, so you should copy it if you are interested.

Ramp the is good with Lumra: Lotus Field Harrow Roiling Regrowth Springbloom Druid

Support for Lumra: Panharmonicon Amulet of Vigor

To help shuffle your graveyard back into your deck after you milled too much: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

The rest is optimized good stuff: landfall and cheating cards in with Apex Devastator, Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant and Last March of the Ents.

Also, Monogreen mass haste: Surrak and Goreclaw Concordant Crossroads

plakjekaas on Beamtown Bullies help

2 years ago

It's because you give creatures from your own graveyard to your opponents, and then Goad them.

So a goaded creature can't attack you if there's anything else to attack, and The Beamtown Bullies makes your opponents beat down each other with your stuff.

So because you're safe from the attacks of your own creatures, you can fill your graveyard with creatures with the most devastating attack triggers that only bully the defending player. That's what you see happening here. These Eldrazi creatures have the biggest impact on the battliefield because of their annihilator-like attacking triggers, while still be able to reside in the graveyard. An Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre would be awesome to make one opponent send at the other, but the Bullies say 'nonlegendary' and shuffling your graveyard is not great in this deck.
