trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

2 weeks ago

Introducing Cumly Cube 1.3! Two years ago, Cumly Cube was updated to Cumly Cube 1.2, creating a balanced cube and wonderful play experience for all involved. Despite these changes, there remained some minor flaws in the card pool. I am now pleased to announce that, after extensive research and design, Cumly Cube has reached a final form. No card is too powerful. No card is too weak. Synergy is abundant. Both the draft and play experiences are dynamic, exciting, and new. There will be no more major updates to Cumly Cube 1.

120 cards have been removed, and 120 cards have been added. Here are the changes, provided with brief justifications:

Hi Mortlocke thank you for this awesome guide. I'm just getting into EDH and have become obsessed with Silvers! I'm slowly acquiring all the cards and putting together my Silver's deck. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this question but could you recommend any replacements for the following cards? I included my thoughts but I have no where near the knowledge of you and this community.

I was thinking the cycle triomes, which would be an even swap of 10 for 10 and can still be fetched.

Much love and thanks for this awesome guide!

Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Enlightened Tutor, Fierce Guardianship, Force of Will, Survival of the Fittest, Tundra, Tropical Island... Even without the lands, that's a few hundred dollars' worth of optimization to not change the bracket.

griffstick, you're missing Volcanic Island

redeyeswizard on Lucea Kane's Hydra Farm

I've made maybe 10-15 changes from the original build to include more mana from artifacts and a couple lands like :Gruul Signet; Mana Crypt; Simic Signet; Taiga; Tropical Island; Volcanic Island. Came to include Benefactor's Draught. For 2 mana I can UN-tap my commander and any other creatures that may have abilities that can also UN-tap her for when you really want to get nasty numbers in copies off one specific spell while also drawing at least one card. The small downfall is the creature UN-tap for everyone, but this deck benefits so much more as long as a counter spell doesn't catch your target X spell in the end. Can't remember everything ive swapped out and in as a lot of it happened while i was tired but i tried to remove anything that would slow down the deck while trying to get faster access to Magus Lucea Kane and more pop off directed towards her spell/ability copy.

Replaced -> Replaced with

Yavimaya Coast -> Tropical Island

Shivan Reef -> Volcanic Island

Karplusan Forest -> Taiga

Perplexing Test -> Alchemist's Gambit

Shamanic Revelation -> Acquire

Myr Battlesphere -> Tezzeret the Seeker

The changes I would personally make, though I don't tend to look at a deck with a budget since I don't play with real cards
