Card quality isn't just about raw output. It's the ratio of input to output.

If Jumbo Cactuar cost just , even if you cut its toughness way down, it would be broken. 7 mana is pretty reasonable for a modern (not necessarily Modern) creature with deathtouch, something like "If this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game," and no other abilities. Compare Vorpal Sword, Summon: Primal Odin, Phage the Untouchable, etc. Jumbo Cactuar has a huge output, but requires special preparation and lots of mana to make it work. High input, high output--good for style points, not for tournaments.

Overkill is somewhere between Murder and something like Flay Essence. It kills indestructible creatures, but that's the main perk it has over Murder. Moderate input, moderate output--functional, but there's better.

Zacama, Primal Calamity is notable in EDH, which is generally slower and allows for more setup than Modern. It's far from useless there, offering a big body with lots of combat abilities that can clear out obstacles as soon as it comes down. and are strong ramp colors, so you can get it out quickly. Even if it dies immediately, it's taking at least one problem with it. But to wallisface's point, it's nothing special in Modern. Commander: moderate input, high output--beware of Triplesaurus. Modern: high input, low output--not worth it.

For something I would call overpowered, Ocelot Pride works as an example. The game's filled with 1-cost 1/1s. The game's not filled with 1-cost 1/1s that reinforce themselves in all areas, providing the extra life and bodies to take over a match, either stalling until something else comes out or just incrementally building up until it can alpha strike by itself. Sure, it dies to any removal down to Scorching Spear. But if you don't do that immediately, it'll take over. And it's very easy to build around, since it doesn't need much more than incidental lifegain and one turn of survival to be a threat. And the first strike can be relevant, too. There's a reason the price tag is solidly in the double digits. Lifelink -> life gain -> cats -> army of cats, and that's eithout any outside support. Not bad for one mana. Low input, high output--kill on sight.

Frenzied Baloth has a lot of abilities but the vast majority of them are only extremely-situationally relevant. It is not part of the 50 most played creatures in standard, and obviously sees no play in any other formats, so the card can hardly be considered overpowered at all.

9 mana to cast a creature like Zacama, Primal Calamity is extremely steep. In modern most 6-7 cost creatures like Primeval Titan or Griselbrand just win the game immediately. Note also that in practically all formats you wouldn’t ever want to cast a card costing this much mana, because the cost its just too high. This card has the effects you should expect for something costing a whopping 9 mana.

I feel you need to find a way to apply objective metrics to determine a cards power, instead of relying on your own intuition/judgement (which, with all-die respect, seems flawed). Check out card play-rates in formats, for example. Overpowered cards are typically either over-represented in one-or-more formats, or have been banned in one-or-more formats. They’ll often also show up in decks that are just doing “goodstuff” (i.e. decks without any coherent gameplan other than just trying to out-value the opponent).

Bookrook, yes, that is true, but "destroy target creature" would actually be less cruel and insulting, since 100 damage gives a creature a chance, however minuscule, to survive, but outright destruction does not.

wallisface, yes, that is very true, so what about some other recent cards? I personally believe that both Frenzied Baloth and Zacama, Primal Calamity are overpowered, because the baloth simply has too many abilities for its mana cost, and Zacama untaps its controller's lands; if Zacama did not untap lands, then I would agree that it is balanced, but that u8ntap ability makes it too powerful, in my mind (yes, I understand that its controller needs to hard cast it in order for that ability to trigger, but that is a fairly minor drawback, in my mind).

Coward_Token on Gishath Spared No Expense!!!

3 months ago

"If I added in more of the ramp/acceleration you suggested, I would either be taking out ramp/acceleration..." yeah, that's what I meant with the opening paragraph; e.g. Farseek isn't a bad card but I feel you need a bit more oomph (though I admit that the prospect of being mana screwed on that third land is a bit scary).

The two Human cost reducers seem especially underwhelming if they're just used to cast the commander, since then they're basically just mana dorks making a single each. (Not saying you should cut Intrepid Paleontologist though, way too versatile.)

I could also see adding rituals to power out Gishath, though that's inviting being blown out by removal

BTW, what's your target turn for casting your commander here? T6?

On a different note, for enabling enrage, you've only got Forerunner of the Empire & Marauding Raptor + Zacama, Primal Calamity. With that in mind, what's your experience with Ranging Raptors, Ripjaw Raptor, Trapjaw Tyrant, Silverclad Ferocidons, Polyraptor? It seemed to me that they'd underperform without stuff like Pyrohemia to repeatedly trigger them. (Which I'm not saying you should add, but rather replacing them with different Dinos.)

trippy_mcfly on Cumly Cube

4 months 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:

TheForsakenOne on Omnath, locus of all

11 months ago

You need a lot more cards that trigger Omnath, ideally you want to be hitting it every single turn but with lands that's already not going to happen. You barely have 6 cards in the deck that he'll trigger on, and while he will still draw you a card each turn you want to be adding that free mana. If you want a more goodstuff commander I'd recommend switching to Kenrith, the Returned King as a card that has more general value.

You seem to have a lot of just bad cards in here, giving the impression that you built this out of the cards you have lying around. Everyone has to start there, I did the same when I was starting out, but a lot of these go straight to the cutting floor. Aegis Turtle, Campus Guide, Sanguine Syphoner, Gutless Plunderer, Scytheclaw Raptor, Stromkirk Bloodthief, Hoverstone Pilgrim, Misleading Motes, Pilfer, Navigation Orb, Prophetic Prism, Tithing Blade  Flip, and Clawing Torment are all on this list.

You also seem to have a weird sacrifice subtheme with Ravenous Amulet, Vampire Gourmand, Dreg Recycler, Ayara, First of Locthwain, Vein Ripper, and Liliana, Dreadhorde General. The problem with this is that you just don't have good token generators or sacrifice fodder to support this outside of Liliana, not to mention its complete disconnect from the Omnath theme. I'd cut them all except for Liliana and Vein ripper since those are just good cards by themselves.

For other miscellaneous cuts: Rest in Peace is probably unnecessary for the power level you're looking to play at, most of the time it's going to sit dead in your hand. You don't really have enough enter the battlefield effects for Blur to pull its weight. And you don't really seem to be putting out creature numbers necessary for Campaign of Vengeance to be worth the 5 mana. Invasion of Ravnica  Flip is a decent card but the flip cares about 2 color pairs which seems out of place in this deck.

And are you sure you want to keep the infinite combo? Your deck is very low power, while that wincon is something more akin to something higher up. People are going to see you pull off the infinite out of nowhere and then have the perception of your deck based off of that when it'll probably only do it once every dozen or so games. I heavily suggest cutting Marauding Blight-Priest to avoid this.

For what you should add:

Pick and choose from the and cycles, those are pretty consistent 3 color spells that trigger Omnath.

Other suggestions: Villainous Wealth lets you turn all that mana into free spells of your opponents deck. A wincon in of itself.

Rienne, Angel of Rebirth if you put in more multicolored legends then this is a godsend, letting you play them over and over.

Maelstrom Nexus triggers Omnath and is just a really good card for casting big things like you want to.

Kodama's Reach is a second cultivate, which you definitely want.

Mirror Room / Fractured Realm copies a creature or doubles the triggers of all your stuff, including your commander.

Conflux tutors you three cards which is just great and with all the mana you should have you can have a nasty turn with this.

Annie Joins Up is removal and doubles your commander trigger. Also triggers Omnath's draw.

Wargate lets you tutor out whatever Permanent you need directly onto the battlefield, and is a good X spell for all your mana. Also see Chord of Calling or Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer for creatures specifically.

Yurlok of Scorch Thrash is great for adding a ton of mana over several turns. Also triggers Omnath

Sphinx's Revelation to turn that mana into a ton of lifegain and card draw.

Victory Chimes nets you 4 mana a turn with Omnath.

Koma, World-Eater is just a big guy that creates a bunch of tokens and is hard to get rid of. Also triggers Omnath.

Faeburrow Elder is another bloom tender that's also a 5/5 for 3 if you have a decent board.

Aragorn, the Uniter loves you casting multicolored spells because he'll trigger multiple times for each.

Zacama, Primal Calamity can be devastating with the amount of mana you can store. You can cripple your opponents with a string of her abilities.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide is great for recursion to spend all that mana. You'll basically never run out of things to play.

From your Maybeboard: Kroxa and Kunoros should be fun, and Polukranos Reborn  Flip is just a decent creature that also triggers Omnath. Rebuild the City is decent mega ramp that also creates bodies. If you add enough 3 color stuff Meeting of the Five would be great for a massive turn (I would also suggest Threefold Signal if you hit that level). Everything else I don't think is worth adding, you seem to have ambitions for Battle synergy but most of those don't trigger Omnath, I think that would be better saved for another deck.

Tl;Dr: Add more stuff that triggers Omnath and cut out the bulk. Add more ramp and think long and hard about if you do really want that infinite in a deck that cannot match it's power level and the hate it will bring on you.

legendofa on MASSIVE EDH RC ban list …

1 year ago

Mortlocke I saw your other thread and had a couple of questions. I'm casual enough that I don't own or regularly see any of the cards that got banned, so I might be missing something, but how do these bans encourage or force a flat, interaction-less battlecruiser play style? There's still plenty of room for all the same interaction; people just can't slam down Zacama, Primal Calamity on turn 2 or whatever. Fierce Guardianship, Toxic Deluge, Swords to Plowshares, Chaos Warp, all the key interaction cards are still live.

And the ban article did make it clear that Sol Ring in particular isn't going anywhere, so I would say the ending point is right about here, at the 8-mana-on-turn-1 point. Is Jeweled Lotus or Mana Crypt really an essential part of every deck above a certain level, to the point where a deck doesn't work without it?

I completely get the frustration of losing a huge investment (been there myself), and the format will definitely be slower. But how much will the format actually change?

NeverCloud,

+1 from me, and I left a comment on your deck page. I look forward to what you think of my suggestions! As for everyone else, I have a deck i'm trying to make work and am unsure as to if i'm missing something. It's my love letter to all things Dinosaur with my favorite dino at the helm - Zacama, Primal Calamity. I present to all:
