Kruphix, One who X-costs Infinity itself...
Commander / EDH*
SCORE: 1 | 3 COMMENTS | 76 VIEWS
After canning my Ezuri, Claw of Progress deck, I decided to do a Take 2 on the othe Simic CMDR I wanted to make: Kruphix, God of Horizons . Last time, I was aiming to make an -cost Deck utilizing Infinite mana. With stuff that can make infinite amounts of this, & Infinite Card Draw, etc, I now leave it to you again to decide a Primordial's fate...
-
Many say not all X-Cost cards are created equal. I actually agree on this. What X costs do you think is worth chopping? What to replace?
-
Many infinite combos are all over; ranging to various Infinite Mana & Infinite Land Untaps, to Endless Draw, & other crazy schnanigans. What to keep, improve upon, or kill?
-
I love Mana Doublers here. Mana Reflection , Doubling Cube , Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger ... Are there any others of note to put here?
-
Is Rashmi, Eternities Crafter even worth adding? the cEDH community stated it can interract w/ exiled cards. How though, & is it worth it?
-
Any misc. other cards worth replacing? Just asking to be sure.
-
This deck is in mid-level power, even though the last time I did this, it was nearly 100% Competitiveness. How should I get back to that very calibur of power? & how's the Competitive Meter system doing? Has it been even worked on since last time I did Kruphix?
Well, thanks for the help thus far. Can't believe I'm getting close enough to doing a Sliver Tribe Deck; just a couple more though...
It's ironic I have standards w/ Morophon, the Boundless . Maybe I should place it somewhere else; I mean it's technically 5c; better make use w/ the whole damn Pie. That said, I'm still grinding out on what I still have to make though here. & yes, I'm making that Vorthos Deck after nobody was able to notice that simple thing. & I'm going to upgrade myself for damn sure. When all depends of how well my dad's car will be fixed (Hey, family is important too! Don't be a fool & have all the audacity to oppose them.) As for Morophon, I'll keep these rules in this post in case one still cares; you might as well do what you intended to do in the first place anyways:
-
Popular tribes I will always say no to.
-
If any Creature Type is missing even one color of the pie, it's out.
-
Tribe Leaders for already existing 5c tribes means those tribes are out also.
-
Eldrazi = (省略) OMITTED. The Tribe must have a good balance of all five colors, & one Eldrazi is meaningless.
-
Be original! Think of a tribe that is underrated, & is good!
-
Secondary Types are allowed, but remember to use a right balance of creatures of such design; this is why JoshLeeKwai was the first out in GameKnights Ep 27.
These are the regulations. I will except no exceptions to any of the 6 Tables of Morophon, Tribe Evaluator
But, for now, I still need help w/ Kruphix, & I'm working on both my Superfriends/Avengers, & cEDH Boros Deck as well; maybe I'll resume making my Pauper Deck if anyone wants to help its status to Turn 2 Wins. If anyone wants to help me out on that...
Especially for Kruphix, I'm trying to find pieces for a combo involving Ashnod's Altar for infinite ; though I guess cutting some things is also good, but I also have a mission from Kamigawa's Kami's as I advertently got myself into a mess where my infatuation towards a mere Gauge maybe my downfall. Thanks. Mono-. X/
That said, nobody's been helping me out on my Kruphix Infinite deck. Questions are in order.
-
What X-Effects & other cards aren't pulling their weight?
-
What cards could also do good here?
-
Some combos here are awesome, but aside from the WIP Ashnod's Altar combo, what other combos would you suggest? I'm literally searching actual Simic Combos as a desperate tactic...
Well, that's all I'm doing for now. I'll do my own thing, & update other things in the meanwhile... Later.

I'm BUMPING this trash.
I now have a slate for my Tetzimoc, Primal Death deck, I still need help with my Kruphix, God of Horizons deck, as well as my Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder CHAOS deck as well. I even will Deckcycle Kruphix in case anyone cares. Also, the new Chandras from Core Set 2020 look awesome. Maybe a Semi-Competitive Burn Deck has hope after all? That said, I have one last thing to say in this comment. It's about the meter, but what's it for I'll mention after these decks are done. That said, I got a Superfriends deck to handle all on my own...
June 12, 2019 8:53 a.m.
BUMP MY FREAKING SHORTS!
I had a really odd, but crazy idea for infinite . Obviously, Ashnod's Altar would be needed. But what else to use? I actually done something similar in my cEDH Boros Deck Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Phyrexian Altar + Village Bell-Ringer , but does Simic lack what Boros (OF ALL THINGS!) can do? I also am thinking of adding Staff of Domination also. Any ideas for this Primordial Mass of Constellation Form?
June 14, 2019 12:39 p.m.
Not exactly a bump; considering how late in the day it is. Anyways, still need help w/ Kruphix, God of Horizons , unless one Simic combo can do infinite mana; hold on...
(Click-Clack-Moo. Cows that Debunk the lie that Sonic 06 has sleazy activity of any design.)
Got a match; Cloudstone Curio + Cloud of Faeries + Aluren + Tidespout Tyrant = Kerblam! I'm adding this in...
Now one question remains, what needs out? & what other CMC 3<= Creature would you suggest?
June 15, 2019 5:45 p.m.
BUT THIS BUMP IS!
After basically my longest post ever yesterday (& I'm still sorry about that...), I still wonder what else to cut for Kruphix. I'll repeat myself again since nobody got this awhile back:
- Many say not all X-Cost cards are created equal. I actually agree on this. What X costs do you think is worth chopping? What to replace?
- Many infinite combos are all over; ranging to various Infinite Mana & Infinite Land Untaps, to Endless Draw, & other crazy schnanigans. What to keep, improve upon, or kill?
- I love Mana Doublers here. Mana Reflection , Doubling Cube , Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger ... Are there any others of note to put here?
- Is Rashmi, Eternities Crafter even worth adding? the cEDH community stated it can interract w/ exiled cards. How though, & is it worth it?
- Any misc. other cards worth replacing? Just asking to be sure.
- This deck is in mid-level power, even though the last time I did this, it was nearly 100% Competitiveness. How should I get back to that very calibur of power? & how's the Competitive Meter system doing? Has it been even worked on since last time I did Kruphix?
- NVM the Competitive Meter, one of the highest ranks still active actually listened to my B--ching, & now there may be a way to make such a meter truly legitamite. I wonder if this can be possible...
Also, I've finally decided for Morophon, the Boundless , the creature type will be "Human", & I plan both Jodah, Archmage Eternal & Fist of Suns to be added as a given.
But I still need help on this, so I'll work on Superfriends/Avengers for now. Later.
June 17, 2019 11:04 a.m.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUMPO'D!!!
I personally wonder if anyone wishes to help on this project at all? I've been working my ass off on my Superfriends/Avengers Deck, as well as cEDH Boros; but a new update has laid waste on the last of the 3: This'll sound Jank, but here are some combos I (And at least one other...) thought of:
-
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer + Phyrexian Altar
-
Distorting Lens + Voltaic Key + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Cogwork Assembler + Jaya Ballard, Task Mage ??? (Can this be better for cEDH?)
-
Feather, the Redeemed + (Is there a way to retrieve cards in exile that have been Discarded?) + (Some way to make all enemy permanents .)...
Sadly that's all I got; & it still sucks. Advice is welcome though! What'ya got?
But I also still need help on Kruphix. So, any suggestions for this as well? I think I've mentioned what I wanted enough times now... Thoughts?

bushido_man96 says... #10
What are you asking about? Are you posting a link to your Kruphix deck, and then asking for suggestions on Manifold Key for the Boros deck you keep hoping becomes a Tier 3?
June 22, 2019 10:56 a.m.
@bushido_man96: You're right, misguided Boros crap. Won't happen again. I'm currently more focused on my other things for now anyway, including this. If you wanted to know what I'm asking about in terms of a Kruphix deck, this is really all I'm asking for...
-

-
NVM the Competitive Meter, one of the highest ranks still active actually listened to my moaning, & now there may be a way to make such a meter truly legitimate; though I dunno how input for that meter works though... I wonder if this can be possible...
I'll have to leave the Boros thing alone for now. & I do apologize for any plans revealed in such a blatant matter. Well, these are what I've been asking all this time; but I guess nobody responded as such comments seemed off-sync of their true purpose; so I hope this comment helped this time. I'll be working on trimming my Superfriends/Avengers deck for now though. Damn I feel shame for such misguidance.
BTW, What I ask about 4 is a topic made by The Lab Maniacs on their own site regarding Archetypes in cEDH; & Rashmi, Eternities Crafter was mentioned out of the blue as her own deck style. It even mentioned her kind of deck can play Wildest Dreams an infinite number of times even though that card exiles itself first use.
June 22, 2019 12:23 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #12
Is it really necessary for you to push the competitive level of your decks so hard? Do you play in a cEDH meta? Are games ending on turns 3 or 4?
June 22, 2019 12:35 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #13
As for your doublers in Kruphix, it looks like you've got the decent ones. How do you want that deck to win? What's your plan?
June 22, 2019 12:38 p.m.
@bushido_man96: It's a funny thing, really. Most of my decks are technically Semi-Competitive, but since there's no such tag for decks, I'm forced to use the closest this site has; Much like how this site has no Chaos category, & my Yidris deck is just that. & a more unique approach to Chaos for that matter; IF this matters.
The reason I even mentioned Rashmi at all is to see if she's able to retrieve Exiled stuff in the first place. Her Abilities state otherwise, but even I don't get what the o'l Lab Maniacs state either. If you wanted a confession from me, after Feather, the Redeemed became the first ever Boros Commander to genuinely reach Tier 3, that at least gave me some encouraging; & as much mindless dogma in the form of ambition. Could there be another? Honestly, I don't want to go too far too early. I even stated on my userpage I don't even have a playgroup for reasons so few can completely state as "Understandable.". That out of the way, For Kruphix, I already have several ways for the use of X Mana; ranging from mass card draw, Helix Pinnacle Wincons, my question now, after at least the Mana Doubling stuff is out of the way, is actually a lot simpler to even answer; given I'm like Admiral Beckett Brass (Jeez, now I feel like making a damned Pirate Tribal deck even though Morophon Humans is the better idea regardless; thus I stand by w/ the latter.), such a simple question to what 7 cards to cut feels a lot like Hell indeed; which X-costs to cut? Which misc. to cut? I already am trying my limiting in the only other deck of mine still In-Active-Development; & it's not my Pauper Deck either. So... Many damned things in my head. I'm physically sitting down, but for your answer on how this deck can win? Milling an opponent(s) to death in numerous ways? Lab Maniac yourself to death? HUGE Discounts just for Helix Pinnacle , & even ways to manipulate already existing to infinity? Outside of my two kinds of questions for what to cut, we have Question "Trois"; how the bloody hell to protect A Primordial Mass of Theros Glop? He has Indestructible, but in this day in age, even if there's so few, Cards can be Destroyed as if they don't have Indestructible, & let's not forget the dreaded "Exile target/this (Permanent Type).". Two Questions for cuts, & a third for protection. I hope this oversized mass of datatic crap answered any question at all. (Most Likely not.)
June 22, 2019 2:21 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #15
I'd say your best protection for Kruphix, God of Horizons , for the things that can get rid of him, would be counter magic. Other than that, giving him hexproof once he's woke up will help some more.
Is there some combo you're running with Aluren ? If not, then cut it. You have very few creatures you get any good out of it with, anyways. Probably should add a Reliquary Tower , for the sake of redundancy.
June 22, 2019 4:53 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Hmmm... Well that only means one thing: Archetype of Endurance , Archetype of Imagination , Reliquary Tower , & Asceticism are all in. (Okay... 4 things.)
As for Aluren ; it's actually for an infinite Bounce combo w/ Cloudstone Curio , & Tidespout Tyrant . I dunno about Cloudstone, as in whether I can bounce something like Cloud of Faeries , Dream Stalker , or something of similar cost via Aluren , but that's why I threw it in; Bouncing whole fields. Kruphix can make huge mana, allowing the casting of Tidespout Tyrant just a little bit easier. As for creatures needed for the job, since you're now acquainted w/ the Infinite Bounce Combo, if there are any ideas, I'll count those & several other counterspells as the last to add; & from there, I'm chopping glop like a log from there. No exceptions from that point.
June 22, 2019 5:59 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #17
That combo seems pretty convoluted, but I could be wrong. If you run a card like Aluren , then I think you need to be running more cards that benefit from it. Otherwise, you've got what looks like a 4 card combo that those cards are junk for otherwise. Why worry about infinite bounce when you can make someone draw their deck out with Stroke of Genius ?
June 22, 2019 6:20 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Good point. The combo is Jank, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ran better in a different Simic deck (& is proven to do so actually. X/). Still trying to find some good Counterspells; but I guess some more X-Draw wouldn't hurt...
However, after that, I am trying to get some cuts to chop off. Keep this in mind...
June 22, 2019 8:32 p.m.
UPDATE: Got some card draw in, as well as some Counterspells (Unless you can think of any better.), I even added a possible add in the form of Atemsis, All-Seeing . I'd like your thoughts on this, bushido_man96; unless you're already sick of me asking? After any other good Counterspells, I'll start hacking as this glob of goo...
I'll do some Superfriends/Avenger cutting now...
June 23, 2019 11:37 a.m.
bushido_man96 says... #20
Atemsis, All-Seeing seems....ok. Not great. High CMC to cast, loots rather than straight draws cards in a deck where you can draw all day long. The only thing it looks like she really brings to the table is an alternate win condition.
I'd say it's your call, but I'm not sure she's worth running.
June 23, 2019 9:47 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Good point. She gets chopped like Kaya becoming a Gatewatch Member hunting down Ex-Gatewatch Member Liliana Vess.
No really, though; I still wonder what to add for any other counterspells before the big Cutting to 100 Cards.
Though after seeing the new Vivien, Arkbow Ranger , I wonder if the idea of a side deck can be good after all... Her Ultimate basically nets you a creature from outside the game; & into your hand. I wonder...
June 24, 2019 11:51 a.m.
bushido_man96 says... #22
Counterspell , Arcane Denial , Force of Will , Foil maybe...
June 24, 2019 12:05 p.m.
@bushido_man96: I suppose. Foil is inferior to even Force of Will (How did that get more expensive than Mana Drain ?!), but at least I can do some recursion. Counterspell 's a no-brainer, but why Arcane Denial ? I mean, it could be incorporated as a Milling method before someone gets out Laboratory Maniac , or even Jace, Wielder of Mysteries , but I still wonder myself...
June 24, 2019 12:10 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #24
Why Arcane Denial ? Because its a frickin' counterspell, and you asked for counterspells. And it costs 2 mana. So many people playing EDH get so damned worried about their opponents getting cards. But if they build their decks with half a brain anyways, they are going to get cards. Yes, Arcane Denial is pretty much card disadvantage. But you counter something that you didn't want to happen.
June 24, 2019 12:15 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Hmph. I guess that is an understandable case of yours. Very well. It's in. Negate should be a no-brainer also, but I'd look silly if I didn't run it in any Based deck that doesn't run also ( Dovin's Veto would be a better choice IMO, though Negate is just fine also.) Ironic I haven't used Disallow for quite a while, I liked it. & a 2/2 Flier is only marginal as a downside. So the following other stuff will be added. Anything else not noted will be explained why:
Counterspell : The Golden Answer; in the form of a famous quote from The Phantom Tollbooth: Why not?
Foil : Losing one life is a minor draw back, but EXILING a card also? I apologize for this, but this is why I wanted to know how Rashmi, Eternities Crafter can recur Exiled stuff. I wish I could ask someone about this while Rashmi is still Tier 2... Discarding 2 cards at least means there is potential of some kind of Recursion Engine, Is also cheaper to even HARDCAST, & you don't need Riftsweeper to get your exiled stuff back. That, & I'd prefer Mana Drain Force of Will anyway. It also sucks that Riftsweeper isn't a Human; she's a damned Elf. Crap.
Arcane Denial : Well, I guess I could punish someone for having a hand in the first place... Tee-Hee…~
Disallow : Wow. How fragging long has it been since I used this? If there is any better; Most likely not, I replace this.
Swan Song Cheaper than Muddle the Mixture , & can also target Enchantments. Quite odd that giving the targeted a 2/2 Flier probably seems like nothing...
Negate : The Silver Answer as I parody The Phantom Tollbooth: Because Dovin demands you to, or you will be detained. XP
Ah, whatever. I think that should be good enough; I already mentioned why Force of Will doesn't make the cut. Now, after I add these, I think it's time to chop some Theros Glop...
June 24, 2019 12:54 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #26
Explain to me again why Force of Will doesn't make the cut? In 180 characters or less....
June 24, 2019 6:09 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Don't get me wrong, the card kicks butt in a pinch. Although losing one life may not be so bad, basically having an Exiling Engine for spells means so few cards exist for this. But we've a problem w/ this as well; Riftsweeper is the only card in Simic's colors to use Exile Manipulation. Pull from Eternity is , Torrent Elemental wouldn't work as it only affects itself, Mirror of Fate is even worse as it's a worse Doomsday for 7 Exiled cards; but the rest of the library dies beyond death; Runic Repetition only works on Flashback spells, & Misthollow Griffin ? Not even what this deck wants. In such a case, this deck would need Void Maw ; but this isn't Sultai ; this is Simic.
Sorry for not limiting my post to 180 Unicode characters, but I was trying to do a supplemental explanation about this whole thing. Basically, all we have is Riftsweeper , but there are not enough stuff that can utilize exile retrieval as a target for that damned Elf Shaman. UNLESS... Unless I cut Rashmi for her, & find more effects that Exile themselves after use. THEN we can start cutting the quarks, & leptons; the smallest form of matter in our ethereal everything.
Apology No. 2 for going even further than before. Yeah, "Tell Obi-Wan: "I failed."" -Yoda after losing a fight with Darth Sidious
I'll contemplate Force of Will for now, until then, though, you literally made me want to do a deck focusing on Exile Retrieval; W/O Atraxa in the first place. Yep an actual Partners Commander Deck; but which two to use, I ponder...
June 24, 2019 6:39 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #28
Why do you need to worry about cards in exile? You aren't exiling a bunch of cards. If you can't handle exiling one card to cast the best counterspell ever printed, then I don't think I can help you. Trying to cram Riftsweeper into the deck because you're running Force of Will to recover the one card you exiled with it is kind of asinine, don't you think? You've apparently never been Bojuka Bog ged or Nihil Spellbomb ed. How would you live with that? So many cards in exile! And I've read over Rashmi, Eternities Crafter several times, and fail to see how she can interact with cards in exile, at least not in the way you are referring to. So, if that's the only reason you want to run her, then cut her.
So, two cuts: Rashmi, Eternities Crafter and Riftsweeper .
June 24, 2019 10:09 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Hmph. I suppose I'll get a spare Force of Will in the future. But just to be on the safe side, I reread the topic in question:
https://labmaniacs.com/cedh-101-strategies-and-archetypes/
Yep. I was self-thwarted. I mistook Wildest Dreams for Seasons Past , maybe even Enter the Infinite …
But, yeah. This heated debate about Rashmi did invoke an idea for a deck so few would even dare touch...
That said, I'm putting "Obscure but AWESOME TCG of the Same Name" in the Maybeboard until further notice. & yes, those Elven Monsters are gonna get Garruk's Axe. BTW, I clarly remember Garruk's Axe having a name. Not important here, but I am interested regardless of what the name is...
June 25, 2019 10:39 a.m.
BUMP! (& nothing else as I went too far not too long ago...)
@bushido_man96: Well, after those cards being added, I might as well officially start chopping cards until I get to the required 100. Crazy, as I'm adding another Force of Will in another deck as well.
This is going to sound stupid; as is every other time but what do you think doesn't pull its weight here? We're talking Infinite , Infinite Draw/Mill, Helix Pinnacle Wincon Discounts, among other crazed ideas. Which aren't so good though?
June 26, 2019 10:02 a.m.
BUMP THIS, THAT, & END UP WITH ME HAVING ZILCH!
After all the cards to start off with; I have 19 cards to cut (20 if I count Force of Will ; or even 22 with Force of Negation and/or Force of Vigor .) after this. I'd like some suggestions, please; I'm already busy making ALOT of crap all at once. The decklist is below in case one cares...

THIS IS NOT A BUMP.
BUT IT IS TO KEEP THIS ALIVE. SO, DAMMIT; IT IS ONE.
Well, Almost 4 days have passed. & I've no clue if anyone cares about this deck anymore. Assuming my Kruphix Deck needs 22 cuts (If adding Force of Will , Force of Negation , & Force of Vigor merits this fact.), I'd really like some suggestions for cuts; I already have the Counterspells & Card Advantage needed for the slate. I'll proceed to make the final cuts for my Superfriends/Avengers deck until then. I'd like at least some cut suggestions though, please...
June 28, 2019 2:02 p.m.
(it's a bump. it doesn't matter anymore as nobody cares.)
Had to throw some Nihilist Crap in there. XP
Anyways, I still have either 19 (Current Status.), 20 (Adding Force of Will .), or 22 (Also adding Force of Negation & Force of Vigor .) cards to cut. bushido_man96, I might need some help on this. As stated many times before, we got Helix Pinnacle Wincon Discounts, Infinite Draw/, Always getting the best card before the player before you ends their turn via reassembling Deck order via Soothsaying ... We got a lot of stuff here. But which 19-22 to cut though? Can you think of some as I try to get to 100 cards for another of my decks please? Thanks, & sorry IF I'm acting like a nagging imbecile; I have so much crap to do...
June 29, 2019 11:17 a.m.
@bushido_man96: Alright. I got other things to do anyway. We'll talk later. I got some crap to record...
June 30, 2019 1:13 p.m.
(BUMPS UP THE VOLUME TO BEYOND SPINAL TAP STANDARDS.)
@bushido_man96: I dun suppose you have time for ideas for cuts now? I just wanted to be sure; that's all.
July 1, 2019 1:42 p.m.
BUMPS CUZ THAT'S HOW NOBODY ROLLS.
Well, I guess I could think of some ideas for cuts, but I'm busy w/ other projects, so... Might as well wait unless bushido_man96 or someone here knows how to make a good KRuphix deck; actually, I think I might have an idea, but It would require searching other decks for ideas; not necessarily Netdecking; even though I've done that crime in the past; & swore never to do that again. Meanwhile, I've some Humans to cut...
July 2, 2019 2:09 p.m.
bushido_man96 says... #38
Ok, here we go...
Hexdrinker is cool, but...eventually, you can't even target it. And it doesn't have trample. Possible cut. Why Knowledge Pool ? It just seems weird. I'd cut it. And Gelatinous Genesis . And I'm on the fence about Orochi Hatchery . Not sure you need it.
You should run a Rogue's Passage so you can push one of your big fatties through. Some X creatures you don't have in here: Anthroplasm , Kraklin, and Verdeloth the Ancient . Verdy would be very worth running, I think.
That's the best I can do for now.
Here are two Kruphix decks to mull over, as well:
July 3, 2019 4:44 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Already made more cuts, & added them to the Maybeboard if any are good. As for Knowledge Pool , I'm running Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir ; though that might warrant a cut also. Any opinions on that & "The Maybeboard Hotseat" thus far?
July 4, 2019 9:30 a.m.
bushido_man96 says... #40
I don't see any issues with the cuts, if you find them to not be up to snuff. Pemmin's Aura can be a combo piece, so that's something to consider if that's how you want to win.
July 4, 2019 6:35 p.m.
@bushido_man96: Very well, Pemmin's Aura stays. I'm only curious if Mass Manipulation is worth keeping though... Though then again, I'm unsure of your opinion as well. In any other case; the cuts are going to be harder to do. I ponder this as I work on other things...

BUMP! (What? I just upgraded my account last night. I might as well talk to some people about this also...)
@bushido_man96: I'm going ahead w/ The Red Pill Vorthos Deck earlier than initially planned. But do you any other suggestions for cuts? I'm literally a n00b on such a notion even after upgrading. Might as well set my differences aside to some, & reconcile w/ them. I know 2 that do need my attention currently, but I'll let you decide on what should be cut anyway...

BUMP for the sake of ideas!
Is anyone still following this? I've a lot to do, but apparently the Gauge has been acting up for me. Anyone got this issue?
& bushido_man96 (Sorry I kept posting that name; I'm running out of ideas for cuts...), About those decks for ideas, they seem to have some relevance to Card Advantage Benefit. Though adding to much would be like Restarting back a Square -1; a concept that doesn't exist in conventional Board Game. I'll consider some, but don't think I'm not replacing some things. A glitch is going on still, & I'm waiting for the fix. For now; I'll check those decks out.

What the heck is an Oshikuru; & what's its Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana? I have a letter to write to Chuck Lorre.
No, seriously though; it's a BUMP.
Highway: 35. To reach its end, One must cut 35 cards from this deck. That said, this is going to be nuts. Just 15 cards from forcing one to cut half a Commander Deck to 100. Since I'm almost out of ideas; I ponder to myself; what can I do to find cuts at a level like this? I already have a little task to do about Feather, the Redeemed ; as in changing the instants & sorceries to stuff that can Target Feather & my creatures (Target is the Key Word.); while attaining such cards back from exile to my hand. I'll make a seperate post for that. Note that Feather, the Redeemed won't be my commander; & Sunforger is still crap in cEDH.
But, if you don't want to help me, bushido_man96, can you at least suggest someone who can, please? Not trying to come off as rude, I just have alot on my head right now. Now, I literally need help for 35 cuts; until then, I'm adding 36 Lands on another deck entirely. I hope this gets your attention; but not for the wrong reasons... :/

I help when I can...I do have other things to do, like work, take care of my family, etc. I will help when I can, though...
As for making that many cuts...I'll take another look.

I think you can cut Arcanis the Omnipotent . Too mana intensive. Cut Mystic Remora , and I'd cut the Teferi combo, because I'm just not that interested in locking everyone out of the game. Pygmy Hippo is cool, but unless you can make it unblockable on a regular basis, not worth running.
What is Deadeye Navigator comboing with? It might not be as useful as it could be in other decks.
From there, go cut one each of the X casted creatures you have, an X sorcery, an instant, and see where you're at.

@bushido_man96: Yeah, I know how it's like myself. Kind of. For me, anyone asked the question "How is you're (Insert section of a family tree.)?", & resonds with "I ate them." are just monsters to me. I too think Family is important as well.
Now, about the Part of the cost; should this also include stuff w/ abilities w/ in it? I personally think Walking Ballista , & Hangarback Walker are just fine here; though the Hydras; I guess they're worth cutting. But what about your suggestions for Krakilin & Anthroplasm ? Are those worth cutting? I'll see what else I can cut for the other things...

When it comes to the creatures, I prefer to run the ones with power/toughness relative to cards in hand, because of the card draw. With the X casting cost creatures, you get one cast and then the P/T is pretty much set, whereas with the hand size P/T, that can grow as the game goes on. At least, it does for me. See how you play, and decide there. Either way, if you choose to cut one style of creature for the other, then that's quite a few cuts out of the way.

@bushido_man96: My BUMPer Car Blasts this open.
Well, I think I got all creatures w/ Casting Costs including . But I couldn't just let it end there. I wanted your thoughts of some cards on the HOTSEAT as to what to cut in queue as part of the Maybeboard. I have Magus of the Candelabra , which can make for a lot of . But are any of the HOTSEAT members worth keeping, or cutting?

Unbound Flourishing I think is worth keeping. Magus of the Candelabra is going to be your call. Play it and see how well it works. As long as you have a mana doubler out, it should be gaining you mana, and works really well with lands that produce two or more mana; or a Gaea's Cradle or Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun . The other cards in the maybeboard I think are ok to cut. I don't see how X-costed counterspells are better than the other counterspells, so I think those are good to cut.

That meter doesn't really mean anything.
