I'm also trying out a goad package rn tbh

#

Oooh, she'd be a cool [[Millennium Calendar]] commander lmao

Bumping this thread so it reappears

pastel agate
#

Bumble is in an eternal state of WIP

sand island

How does everyone here gift out cards with her passive? My typical plan of attack is:

  1. Start by going around the table giving everyone a card until they do something to slight me. This helps to keep pressure off me because everyone wants the cards, so they wont touch me until they have to. I dont count small acts of aggression like hitting me with a 3/3 or anything as a slight. But killing bumble makes sure you dont get any more cards.

  2. Once I get something like [[psychic possession]] I will feed more cards to that person.

  3. Towards end game if Im not in the lead I will feed second place cards if they agree to kill first place

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#
  1. Never give cards to the heavy blue/combo player
sand island
#

I ask "Who wants to draw cards?", ignore their responses and give it to the least effectual player, or whoever I give the parasitic card draw stuff to

sand island
#

Yar

#

I run some funky stuff

glossy fox
sand island
#

[[forced fruition]] is a goofy one

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

So nearly milled out my friend's storm deck

#

Also fed it though

#

My dream is to use [[fractured identity]] on it and win via lab man

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Really I just like drawing cards

# sand island Yar

I really wanted to get wedding ring to work in this deck but when I ran it, I could never find the right time to play it. There are just so many good 4 mana cards in the deck already I had to cut that one

sand island
#

It's a little clunky, yeah

tribal temple
#

#

Thinking about using [[ojer pakpatiq]] - how many instants would you say would make it worthwhile?

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — God
Flying
Whenever you cast an instant spell from your hand, it gains rebound. (Exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.)
When Ojer Pakpatiq dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control with three time counters on it.
4/3

Temple of Cyclical Time
Land
(Transforms from Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch.)
manat: Add manau. Remove a time counter from Temple of Cyclical Time.
mana2manau, manat: Transform Temple of Cyclical Time. Activate only if it has no time counters on it and only as a sorcery.
Chimil gave the Oltec time. Ojer Pakpatiq gave them the tools to learn its lessons.

pastel agate
#

Not too many tbh

#

It has flying so it is a good attacker and blocker

#

If you’re more control oriented it could be really good

sand island
#

Turning into a land isn't even a bad thing too

#

It might be valuable even just for that tbh

#

Well, not "just"

pastel agate
#

What’s extra good is instants and sorceries gaining rebound means triggering bumbleflower twice on your turn is ezpz

sand island
#

Yep

#

Makes it easier to draw-go

#

You know what, maybe I will slot it in without making changes, and see how it goes

pastel agate
#

Man, now I’m tempted to try a proper draw-go list

sand island
#

I have quite a few flash enablers

pastel agate
#

Did you include the flash faerie?

sand island
#

No, I didn't

#

Just leyline, heliod, and Kianne

#

I haven't drawn Kianne yet, but I have high hopes for her

#

I need more games in to really get a good idea on what works and what doesn't

pastel agate
#

I do too, frankly all the shabraz effects have been popping off for me

sand island
#

But also, I have too many decks and Captain America has been pulling at my heartstrings

pastel agate
#

Hah, I’ve hit my plateau of sorts. Haven’t much more than touched magic in about a month

sand island
#

Do you run any cantrips?

pastel agate
#

No

#

I don’t like cantrips generally

#

Would rather run some engine piece that draws me more cards

sand island
#

That's fair

glossy fox
#

Once again I mention [[broken wings]]

brave folioBOT
glossy fox
#

It's funny

#

With bumble it's desroy any creature or artifact

sand island
#

Only really works if you have bumbleflower out and want to target an enemy's creature

sand island
#

I'd rather be using [[generous gift]] or [[beast within]]

brave folioBOT
glossy fox
#

Your no fun

sand island
#

You're*

#

(Joke because I'm no fun)

#

(Explaining the joke because that makes it even less fun)

#

To be fair, nothing about broken wings is fun either

#

the true fun spot removal is [[fractured identity]]

brave folioBOT
glossy fox
sand island
#

I meant target an enemy's creature with Ms B

#

I like to give myself counters and flying sometimes

glossy fox
#

You telling me you never use bad cards in decks on purpose

sand island
#

I do when they are flavorful or interesting, yeah

#

Broken wings is just spot removal

#

I'm not saying it's the worst choice, just that nothing about it is really interesting

#

Other than the fact that you can make your opponent's creature flying to destroy it

sand island
#

Bumpleflower

sturdy tiger
#

Used another players Bumbleflower to win a game today. It was pretty funny

sand island
#

Proving that no matter what, bumbleflower always wins

sturdy tiger
#

Even when she loses, she wins

half ice
#

won another game with [[jolrael]]

brave folioBOT
#

Multiple cards match “jolrael”, can you be more specific?

half ice
#

[[jolrael recluse]]

#

I actually cut this card at first when I made bumble

#

Im pretty sure it came in the precon and I thought it was trash. I was very wrong lol

sand island
#

It did come in the precon, yeah

pastel agate
#

I actually did pretty poorly with bumbleflower over the last week

#

I got rolled by Miirym, and got stopped early enough for Bello to overrun

sand island
#

😔

pastel agate
#

Though I can say the deck has been successfully powered down

#

To a level I want it at

sand island
#

Good deal. What were some recent changes?

glossy fox
#

Ms Deadleflower

sand island
pastel agate
#

Sorry I’ve been hella busy lately lol

torn shard
#

do you guys still use any group hug cards, or do you just basically run a generically good bant deck and have bumbleflower be the main source of giving stuff out?

crystal quest
#

More the latter for me

torn shard
#

i see, my deck is pretty much the base precon with some generic bant stuff added, Smothering Tithe/Rystic Study/Tef Pro. I fixed the mana base a bit as well. Not sure what else I want to add because I still want to group hug, but the 1/1 counters are nice

crystal quest
#

I personally added [[shrieking drake]] and an unwieldy [[primal prayers]] setup just in case I’m in a pod where someone blanks combat

brave folioBOT
torn shard
#

blanks combat? as in fog and/or skip the combat step

#

or am i misunderstanding still

crystal quest
#

Yeah - some folks at my LGS like to recur fog effects and/or Glacial Chasm so I try to include contingencies in my combat-heavy decks now

torn shard
#

i see, what exactly is that letting you achieve? just cast triggers on opponents turns a couple times?

crystal quest
#

The drake goes infinite w Smothering Tithe out (at sorcery speed), assuming an opponent is tapped out - make them draw their library and make Bumble excessively lethal

#

If you have [[metastatic evangel]] it also goes infinite w primal prayers and you draw everyone out

brave folioBOT
torn shard
#

how does it go infinite with tithe, im lost

#

you control the tithe as well im assuming?

crystal quest
#

Yes

torn shard
#

yea im lost then

#

sorry

#

nevermind

#

ignore me

#

i was thinking "drake + tithe = win"

crystal quest
#

Ahhhh not quite yeah

torn shard
#

not "bumbleflower + Drake + Tithe = win"

crystal quest
#

Gotcha. Sorry for not clarifying!

torn shard
#

you're good, it clicked once i thought about it more

crystal quest
#

Definitely the gerbils - breaks my heart but so few of the cards in the deck actively give gifts

torn shard
#

and theres not many good gift a thing

#

looks at perch protection

#

if it was 3 mana id give an extra turn any day, not 8 mana

crystal quest
#

I wanted perch protection to work so bad. But the chance of drawing off gerbils is pretty low. For another potential cut, I am personally am not a fan of Psychosis Crawler since it’s immediately scary in a way that I don’t want to be.

torn shard
#

what do you think of the one dude from duskmourn

#

[[Giggling Skitterspike]]

brave folioBOT
crystal quest
#

Incredibly funny in bumbleflower and a great idea

torn shard
#

tbh i kinda like crawler because its a non combat damage win, but I also have simic ascendancy and twenty toed toad. And theres probably other non combat options

crystal quest
#

Totally fair - it can be a nasty threat if unanswered

torn shard
#

ill toss it out still for now, and look into other win cons

#

[[tenuous truce]] could probably get cut too

brave folioBOT
crystal quest
#

I was gonna suggest that but since you mentioned you wanted to keep more of the hug energy I left it alone

torn shard
#

well, idk. its still decent draw for me and politics for having a friend early on

#

I don't try to focus all the card draw on one player unless theyre just that behind

#

Fisher's Talent can get cut tho

crystal quest
#

Yeah there’s a lot more exciting stuff to do with that much mana

torn shard
#

wait

#

I know a funny card

#

i run in human tribal

#

[[Portal Manipulator]]

brave folioBOT
torn shard
#

"oh youre swinging out at me because im giving everyone cards? No youre swinging at this dude and losing your board."

crystal quest
#

That card looks like a great time

torn shard
#

its so golden

#

i was swung out by 500 7/7 squirrels, forced them to swing at someone else

#

then cracked back with humans

crystal quest
#

You could double down and add [[misleading signpost]] as well if you want

brave folioBOT
crystal quest
#

Not as effective but also ramp

torn shard
#

true

crystal quest
torn shard
#

now ill have to cut 3 more cards to add in the stuff I want to add

#

ghirapur orrery, decent card, but it lets people overextend more often which I dont like

#

technically body of knowledge is probably a good idea but buffing it and decking myself sounds funny

#

Thank you btw for the advice

crystal quest
#

You’re welcome! I love this silly rabbit

torn shard
#

Same

#

I finally won a game with her

crystal quest
#

Congrats! I hope the revisions are helpful

torn shard
#

i believe they will be. For the last cut ill probably just cut a land since my curve is still pretty good

crystal quest
#

Playing with fire! If you end up wanting that land back I’d suggest looking at hoofprints of the stag as a potential cut

torn shard
#

yea i thought about that too, I never used it the one time I played it other than to get a cast trigger off

crystal quest
#

I love the idea of it but didn’t enjoy how it played when I used it

pastel agate
brave folioBOT
torn shard
#

bro I forgot Faerie Mastermind was a card

pastel agate
#

Yeah! There’s tons of stuff that bunbleflower can utilize

#

[[trouble in pairs]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Trouble in pairs is just legitimately broken lol

pastel agate
#

It was much higher power than I normally do, so just pick through and see what you like

torn shard
#

thank you

torn shard
#

Hear me out

#

[[jace, architect of thought]] + [[Wheel of Sun and Moon]] + Doubling Season

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Jace
+1: Until your next turn, whenever a creature an opponent controls attacks, it gets -1/-0 until end of turn.
−2: Reveal the top three cards of your library. An opponent separates those cards into two piles. Put one pile into your hand and the other on the bottom of your library in any order.
−8: For each player, search that player's library for a nonland card and exile it, then that player shuffles. You may cast those cards without paying their mana costs.
Loyalty: 4

sand island
#

Yeah I don't understand the combo

#

After you cast the cards with Jace ult, they go back to their library I guess?

#

Oh, Jace himself goes into your library. I don't think you can search him up with his ability though?

#

Because won't his ability resolve before he hits the gy?

torn shard
#

From the way I understood it, paying loyalty is a cost, and wheel is a replacement effect to put him back in the deck

pastel agate
#

Oh, yeah

#

I guess that does work

#

Wild

uncut scarab
pastel agate
#

Nah, the only crime card is [[freestrider lookout]]

brave folioBOT
#

Creature — Human Rogue
Reach
Whenever you commit a crime, look at the top five cards of your library. You may put a land card from among them onto the battlefield tapped. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime.)
3/3

pastel agate
#

But is basically nadu lite in this deck

uncut scarab
#

Gotcha!

#

For some reason I thought your build was crime focused

uncut scarab
pastel agate
#

But that’s besides the point

sand island
#

I put Shabraz in my deck

pastel agate
sand island
#

Yeah that's why I added it to try out

tribal temple
#

@sand island and @pastel agate do you guys have the lists to your decks around? I wanted to compare

sand island
#

Mine ^

#

thank you!

np bumblebrother

#

The homunculus is a bit more wishy washy for me because it’s like scute swarm but harder to pull off, but still

#

You might consider replacing Byrke with [[sovereign okinec]], does a similar thing for 2 less mana

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

This is my current list.

#

It’s trying to control the board while pumping creatures and has a good few +1/+1 counter synergies

sand island
#

Unrelated, and I'll take a look at your list, but thoughts on [[giggling skitterspike]]?

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

I think we’ve talked about this one, but it seems like a solid include for aggro strategies

#

Burn damage go crazy

sand island
#

You could probably also add in a wheel or two if that suits your fancy copper. [[tolarian winds]] to cycle just your hand for psychosis crawler effects, and [[windfall]] for everyone.

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Yea I could do that!

sand island
#

I run Windfall myself

pastel agate
#

[[iron maiden]], [[black vise]] and [[viseling]] all work great for this too

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

And if you wanna be cheeky [[ivory tower]] is funny

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

To take advantage of [[psychic possession]] and [[wedding ring]]

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Mmk!! Don’t have any of them so will have to buy. Any recommendations on cuts that’s what I struggle with the most

sand island
pastel agate
#

If you’re going the route if draw punish, stuff that cares about +1/+1 counters might not be ideal

sand island
#

Oh yeah, Ivory tower is neat

#

There are definitely many options for bumble, and none of them really seem the "best", but more based on playstyle, which is neat

pastel agate
#

I personally very much dislike triskaidekaphile

sand island
#

Same.

clear aspen
#

Mmk!

pastel agate
#

It’s just too expensive to do literally nothing

#

Chulane isn’t great when you’ve only got 27 creatures

#

Like I see the vision

clear aspen
#

So byrke and sovereign probably should be cut if I don’t really care about the +1/+1?

pastel agate
#

Yeah

#

And, imo, the ozolith

sand island
#

Gluntch honestly felt very clunky when I ran it too.

pastel agate
#

I like him, especially if you’re going to do a more huggy route

clear aspen
#

Okay that’s an expensive card although bumbleflower does give alot of cards though.

#

Err counters

pastel agate
#

She does, which if you want to keep it in feel free to

clear aspen
#

I kinda like that card even if I’m not going counters

sand island
#

I personally think forgotten ancient is too expensive in mv if you aren't going +1/+1 focused specifically

clear aspen
#

It feels like value

pastel agate
#

Norn’s decree is something I’d considered myself but tbh it’s not very great

pastel agate
sand island
#

Yeah, keep it if you want to

pastel agate
#

Let me know how you like perch protection, Copper. I’m not a fan of it but some people swear by it

sand island
#

I really like it personally

#

If not just mostly for the gimmick of giving another player an extra turn

pastel agate
#

Heheheheh approach of the second sun gaming

sand island
#

I took out Approach after I won with it once lol

#

I've decided I'm not a huge fan of alternate win cons unless it's lab man

clear aspen
#

Ahhh not fun?

sand island
#

I didn't find it particularly satisfying to win with

#

ymmv though

clear aspen
#

Mmk ima remove it

sand island
#

Same with twenty toed toad and simic ascendancy

clear aspen
#

This is my very first deck so

sand island
#

The toad being the easiest to win with if you give it boots

#

If you like the sound of them, I'd recommend trying them and seeing if you like it though

#

I'm also a bounceland believer, especially if you're running frantic search, unwind, and rewind

#

And snap

#

[[azorius chancery]] [[simic growth chamber]]

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Yea I noticed the frantic drake. I do gave that card if you think it’s good

#

Add those two?

sand island
#

I would, since you untap # of lands with those aforementioned cards, and untapping a land that taps for 2 is money

clear aspen
#

Kk will do!! Just replace basic lands I take it?

sand island
#

basics or temples

#

Do you have many tokens for [[perplexing test]] to see value?

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Tempt with bunnies, hummunculus horde uhhhh

sand island
#

[[wave goodbye]] is more thematic

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Mmk!

sand island
#

Despite saying I run it, wedding ring isn't really that good, so ymmv on that one.

#

Since it's only on the opponent's turn that you get the card draw

#

Psychic possession is 💯 though

clear aspen
#

Ahh okay. Any cards in my considering I should add instead (that’s where I’ve been moving the cut cards)

sand island
#

lol, a forced fruition believer 🤝

#

Well, considerer

pastel agate
sand island
#

True, I didn't notice they had burgeoning

pastel agate
#

Also I’d run [[damning verdict]] over wave goodbye

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Ooooo

#

Yea yea I like that

pastel agate
#

It’s pretty much completely one sided

sand island
#

What if the opponent gives their stuff flying counters!!

pastel agate
#

That’s fine

#

From my experience, unless it’s specifically a counters deck you’re playing against it’s completely one sided

sand island
#

Yeah, that seems likely

#

There aren't too many things that give counters without caring about them

pastel agate
#

Oh, by the way

#

[[quilled greatwurm]] has been absolutely bonkers in my Muerra deck

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

It could be insanely good here too

sand island
#

That's an interesting idea

pastel agate
#

It’s any combat damage

clear aspen
#

Ooooo interresting I have that card too

pastel agate
#

So you can get blocked and still double your p/t on the creature

sand island
#

I've been liking [[teferi's ageless insight]] a lot

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

What to cut though

sand island
#

And of course [[sergeant john benton]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

I very much dislike tempt with discovery

sand island
#

And to that end, also tempt with bunnies since you don't care about tokens

pastel agate
#

The card draw is nice

sand island
#

Oh I forgot it drew

pastel agate
#

Yeah keep tempt with bunnies

sand island
#

Do you like [[selvala explorer]]?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I didn't really care for them

clear aspen
#

That ageless insight card seems interesting!

pastel agate
#

Double draw goes hard

sand island
#

It will just get you targeted if your opponents know what's good for them

clear aspen
#

But my friend had me cut consecrated sphinx because I already had so much draw

sand island
#

While it's pretty unassuming

clear aspen
#

Sevala seems pretty okay!

sand island
#

I've been pretty wishy washy on running [[proft's eidetic]] in my deck - have you tried this card at all Umaru?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Just remembered it since it was also a blue legendary enchantment

#

Honestly, I'd probably ditch Realm-Cloaked Giant for Umaru's board wipe

clear aspen
#

Yea and keep the wave goodbye too?

#

I did move that the considering

sand island
#

Up to you depending on how many board wipes you want

clear aspen
#

I think I remember 3 being a good number right?

sand island
#

I only have 2 in my deck, but 3 is about right

clear aspen
#

Sounds good! Okay so I think I got all your guys advice! Anything else?

sand island
#

Have fun!

#

Feel free to come back here with any further questions. We're all still experimenting with various cards and it's a constant WIP.

clear aspen
#

Sounds good! I would like to contribute too when I learn a bit more! Thank you for all your help!

sand island
#

Glad to have another Bumblebrother (We need a name for bumbleflower players)!

#

Though I guess that one isn't quite gender-neutral, but it sounds good at least.

crystal quest
#

Bumblebrethren

sand island
#

Bumblebrewers?

clear aspen
#

What do you guys think about [[misty rainforest]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
pastel agate
clear aspen
#

I have it so i added it!!

pastel agate
#

That’s the case 100% of the time with fetches

clear aspen
#

got it!

#

what do you think of the final decklist Umaru?? About to put in the order

pastel agate
#

You might consider snagging some other lands to improve the potency of your fetches - surveil lands (hedge maze, lush portico, meticulous archive), shocks (temple garden, breeding pool, hallowed fountain - if you have them, they’re pricy), and tango lands like canopy vista

#

And this can be changes made kater so dw

clear aspen
#

Okay I will add those to the list of later changes!

pastel agate
#

Landbase changes are so incredibly secondary to the nonlands

pastel agate
clear aspen
#

Sounds good!! Drive safe!

pastel agate
#

Deck looks great, let me know how those changes go for you

clear aspen

Awesome deck ordered 🙂 will do we’re gunna go play commander night as soon as the cards come in!

Whew yeah it was

My friend got it just 6 months ago as we were getting into magic, and he got it for like 70

#

High Fae Trickster was great btw

#

Nothing like holding up farewell at instant speed

pastel agate
#

I’ve been meaning to look into a flash list and running some stuff like that

#

Just see what could be pulled off

#

Maybe make a tempo list

sand island
#

I run so many flash enablers

#

4 evidently

#

Reminded me of a [[heliod, the radiant dawn]] wheel deck with a ton of big colorless threats.

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Enchantment Creature — God
When Heliod, the Radiant Dawn enters, return target enchantment card that isn't a God from your graveyard to your hand.
mana3manaup: Transform Heliod, the Radiant Dawn. Activate only as a sorcery. (manaup can be paid with either manau or 2 life.)
"Compleat the faith, compleat the god." —Ajani Goldmane
4/4

Heliod, the Warped Eclipse
Legendary Enchantment Creature — Phyrexian God
You may cast spells as though they had flash.
Spells you cast cost mana1 less to cast for each card your opponents have drawn this turn.
"Compleat the god, compleat the plane." —Ajani Goldmane
4/6

sand island
#

I was just thinking, this is probably way too expensive to matter, and we'd rather something like burgeoning, but [[cultivator colossus]] is funny, given our card advantage.

brave folioBOT

We don't use landfall shenanigans either, so pretty meh, but lands make me salivate.

[[Last word phantom]]

brave folioBOT

No card found for “Last word phantom”

versed gyro
#

Sorry

#

[[final word phantom]]

brave folioBOT
versed gyro
#

A bit limited. But decent effect

sand island
#

I still haven't been able to cast [[kianne, corrupted]] yet

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

just saw this [[victory chimes]] seems neat

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

It’s good, I’m just not a huge fan bc you’d need to save one spell per turn

#

If you’re playing the flashy version then it’s great

#

But by then you’re also running drumbellower, awakening, and seedborn muse

sand island
#

[[drumbellower

#

[[drumbellower]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Fair, it's a more budget option though

#

Might be less scary too

#

Seedborn makes you a huge target

pastel agate
#

It’s sinister tbh.

#

Run a ton of dorks

#

Or just do lands and wilderness rec/seedborn/[[awakening]]

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

Has anyone tried [[Chasm Skulker]] yet? I believe it comes in the precon but I cut it pretty early on. After playing Bumbleflower a lot I draw way more cards than I thought and I feel like this could be decent tech against boardwipes

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Yeah, any of the effects that get a counter when you draw are very solid

#

I prefer [[shabraz]] for the flying and life gain

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Part of the problem of chasm skulker to me is that it doesn't have evasion

#

I'd want my big chungus to have trample at least

#

That's why I prefer [[managorger hydra]] for the 3 mana ones.

brave folioBOT
versed gyro
#

I mean you can give skulker flying with the commander

pastel agate
#

You can, yeah

sand island
#

True, yeah

sand island
#

Maybe I'll go back to trying it out in my deck

#

It's so hard to fit things in though

#

maybe I ditch the [[forced fruition]] meme dream

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

[[knowledge is power]]?

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Catching up on edhrec videos and saw that

sand island
#

Huh, that's an interesting one

pastel agate
#

My only issue is this only truly works as a go-wide card

sand island
#

Same. Maybe with those spawners whenever you draw 2 cards in a turn

#

Like jol'rael and such

#

Not really a route I want to pursue though. I like stacking up one big boy instead

pastel agate
sand island
#

So goofy it might just work

tribal temple
#

I run Knowledge is Power in my Councile of 4 deck and its a beast, but I really do think it works better in token decks.

I find it hard to find room for Chasm Skulker too but I was just thinking it would be a decent big boy that sits there for defensive and then when a boardwhipe hits Ill have 15 damage on board to swing at people.

#

I also really want to run shabraz but being 5 mana makes it difficult since I always wanna cast 2 spells a turn so you can only run so many 4+ cmc cards in your deck

sand island
#

[[knowledge is power]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Should have ~9-10 mana by then so you can double spell

sand island
#

Dang, I want to go play bumbleflower rn PepeHands

tribal temple
#

same 😦

#

But I have been spending a lot of time upgrading my zinnia deck so the Mrs. hasn't seen much playtime lately 😦

pastel agate
#

I’m thinking of a switchup to my bumbleflower

#

Slight one, but the +1/+1 counters aren’t doing it for me much

#

More tempo, value evasive creatures that I can pump with bumble

#

Lots of removal, and efficient/one sided board wipes

#

Oh, another thing I thought was cool

#

[[botanical brawler]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Effects like this - there’s quite a few now. Thoughts?

#

There’s a hydra that does it too, and I believe one more recent one

tribal temple
#

I really like my +1/+1 counter version but I was thinking of having two bumbleflower packages to swap between. A counter focused one and a more "play on there peoples turn" one. That one would lean way more on [[Wilderness Reclamation]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I got the weird anime grandpa which seems like it could be good for that

tribal temple

#

Yeah. Seedborn muse, awakening, drumbellower,

[[urdnan, dromoka warrior]]

brave folioBOT

#

people already wanna wipe my creatures in this deck so I like to have that affect on enchanments so I dont lose everything XD

You were thinking of [[wildwood scourge]]

Might be neat to go more into like a +1 tokens route

mild folio
#

Hey yall I was wondering if I could get some help with my Bumbleflower list, I really wanna make it strong and fun for the whole table but from the changes I have made from the precon it feels a lil akward and has yet to win at all, not that I HAVE to win but I can't help but feel I'm making it worse with my changes so I would love to get some help refining the list a lot more because I wanna love Bumbleflower but as is it feels pretty awkward and I think I'm just making it worse haha

https://moxfield.com/decks/iqIAL7rsM0yfR2L8Fi0RLg

#

I feel like my goal for the list is I want to make it kind of +1/+1 and Aikido focused where I'm enabling the table to do my dirty work and help everyone do their thing (because I think the table would enjoy that) but also still be able to reintroduce myself as a threat when I need or want to, this is a very unique style of deck for me that I haven't really made before (I'm pretty Timmy at heart) so I feel quite a bit lost and Bumbleflower is so open ended and there are so many different lists I feel a lil stranded at sea right now

sand island
#

I'd add in more goad effects or the like if you want others to do your dirty work. Or at least some pillowforty stuff.

#

You do have propaganda in there, so that helps

mild folio
#

I think the problem I've been having was I have been adding cards that look good in a vacuum but wasn't sure if they were really working in tandem with eachother that well

sand island
#

I think tiskaidekaphile is a wasted card slot

mild folio
sand island
#

I love it. Still a WIP ofc.

mild folio
#

My friend recently got me a budget list that gave me a lot of +1/+1 stuff like Hardened Scales type effects and I was considering slotting that stuff in wasn't sure for cuts beyond tris

pastel agate
#

Here’s mine

sand island
#

I wasn't thrilled with council of four personally, or selvala

pastel agate
#

It’s more +1/+1 counter focused

#

Council is not great.

sand island
#

Foxglove seems way out of place too, unless you have some attachment to him

pastel agate
#

[[selvala heart of wild]] is peak, but selesnya selvala is not good

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Foxglove doesn’t play nice (mechanically) with bumbleflower

sand island
#

I also don't love [[kwain, itinerant meddler]] or other effects that cause all players to draw

brave folioBOT
mild folio
sand island
#

Since the most important part is selection on who you benefit

pastel agate
#

Yeah, I would definitely limit the group hug to targeted hug

#

Namely bumbleflower

mild folio
pastel agate
#

And benefitting from giving away said cards via things like [[faerie mastermind]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

One card that's been huuuge for me is [[duelist's talent]] - it fits with your plan too, if you want others to kill eachother.

brave folioBOT
#

No card found for “duelist's talent”

sand island
#

[[duelist's heritage]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

True

sand island
#

I'm also a believer in the [[forced fruition]] meme, but I must ask what your plan is with it.

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

And it’s even kinda political

sand island
#

yeah, last time I played it, I just had to say, I'll give that dude double strike if it's not targetting me.

mild folio
#

I like it cause it makes the table happy and laugh

pastel agate
#

Oh - punishing draws rather than benefitting is another fun way to go

#

[[iron maiden]]

brave folioBOT
mild folio
#

Iron maiden is funny

pastel agate
#

@clear aspen had a chance to play bumble yet?

sand island
#

[[scrawling crawler]] too

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
pastel agate
#

Oof

sand island
#

if you want to lean into wheels and such with [[windfall]] draw punishers would be more potent.

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

I’m excited though!

sand island
#

[[Sergeant john benton]] is lowkey the best card in my deck

brave folioBOT
mild folio
#

I want it to be pretty political

#

John Benton is pretty awesome

pastel agate
#

Card just seems mid, like yeah drawing a ton is fine but it’s not like you’re using all of them

mild folio
#

I've seen John Benton go really crazy in the command zone atleast

pastel agate
#

Just keeping the best 7 from the top 20 I guess?

tribal temple
sand island
#

I'm very similar to what you described earlier: helping opponents to do my dirty work, while drawing as much as I can, to hopefully one tap the last opponent with a giant bumbleflower or another creature.

sand island
pastel agate
#

Oh, fair

mild folio
sand island
#

So I regularly have 20+ cards in hand

mild folio
#

If you could make some changes like without a budget restriction what would you change?

sand island
#

And pillowfort with [[maze of ith]] and [[sokrates]] who is another one of my favorite cards

brave folioBOT

Sokrates, Athenian Teacher has hexproof as long as it's untapped.

pastel agate
#

I must admit gamers, my foray into Muerra has limited the bumbleflower games I have played lately

sand island
#

I really like [[psychic possession]] for parasitic card draw, since you'll be forcing another player to draw anyways.

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
tribal temple
mild folio
tribal temple
#

They dont straight focus me, but they also dont play into the "favors" as much as they used to because they know its not really a favor at the end of the day

mild folio
sand island
#

Fair tbh

tribal temple
#

With bumbleflower you dont really want to play Pyschic possesion until later in the game

#

if you drop it on turn 4/5 you are just turning the game into 2 headed giant

sand island
#

You usually don't play it until there's an archenemy you can gang up on imo

mild folio
#

That makes sense

mild folio
#

I feel like there could be better options for that, but I'm not enough of that kind of magic player to really know, this is my first deck that really focuses on this strategy I usually am a very green player and turn cards sideways, like my fav deck is Henzie and my next favs are land decks lol

#

Trying to tap into the inner blue mage within me

tribal temple
sand island
#

It's the best of its type

#

There's wedding ring, but it's much worse

tribal temple
#

I wanted wedding ring to work in this deck so badly 😦

mild folio
tribal temple
#

as much as I dislike him JLK from commandzone has a great base for "draw go" bumbleflower

#

I want to build his package and switch between them

mild folio
#

I wanna find a happy medium which is what I have been trying to do but I feel I am just making the deck all around weaker atleast with my current list, not focusing on one

tribal temple
#

yeah I think its better to lean into one of the play styles. you either want to do the +1/+1 counters thing, or you want to play 2 cards on each players turn not just your own

#

mixing them is difficult

sand island
#

I don't like brainstorm unless you're also running shuffle effects or more things that care more about card draws. [[teferi's ageless insight]] for example.

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

I dont think I would copy his list exactly, but I does have a great foundation imo

sand island
#

Yeah, that's what I meant by shuffle effects

tribal temple
#

ah

#

theres also no way im running only 31 lands

sand island
#

3 mdfcs as well

#

but 34 is low

tribal temple
#

But they also mulligan until they have a playable hand. My group plays with the standard mul rules

#

I run 38 with 3 MDFCs XD

#

so 41 total

sand island
#

I also really like land untapping spells

mild folio
#

I don't usually go below 36 lands

sand island
#

like snap, rewind, unwind, frantic search

#

I have a few control pieces in my deck, hullbreaker horror, willbreaker, glen elendra archmage

pastel agate
#

(I haven’t updated it in a while)

sand island
#

I should put jace back in my deck for redundancy

pastel agate
#

Spark jace is peak

tribal temple
brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I've won with labman before

tribal temple
#

and I typically play on my turn

pastel agate
#

I should just make bumble superfriends

sand island
#

I've been draw-going a lot more

pastel agate
#

She makes herself a huge blocker

sand island
#

with like 5 flash enablers

#

Yeah,a nd you can run a ton of proliferate effects

mild folio
tribal temple
#

I recently cut [[Kros, Defense Contractor]] so many people run them but I just never really wanted to cast them, there was always something better to do with 4 mana. And my deck never wants to give away its counters

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Cat Advisor
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a shield counter on target creature an opponent controls.
Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, tap that creature and goad it. It gains trample until your next turn. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)
2/4

sand island
pastel agate
tribal temple
#

I also undervalued hardened scales at first and I was so wrong, that card is very good

sand island
pastel agate
#

However, double casting ramp over multiple turns helps

#

It’s how I usually get to 10+ mana t5-7

#

Ideally, you’d land bumble t3 after t2 ramp, then double cast ramp

sand island
#

Too bad stuff like [[burgeoning]] is outside my budget for now

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Burgeoning real good in bumble

#

Exploration too

#

I’ll have to show off my bunny bling, back in 2x2 I packed a foil borderless exploration

sand island
#

[[on the trail]] is very good too

brave folioBOT

#

Freestrider lookout too obv

mild folio
sand island
#

Those two umaru mentioned.

#

waiting for my friend to sell me his [[pollywog prodigy]], [[trouble in pairs]] is too good to pass up, [[court of garenbrig]] is real good, [[innkeeper's talent]] is probably worth it, and I'd put back in a few planeswalkers... Other staples are good too, like t pro

brave folioBOT
#

Enchantment — Class
(Gain the next level as a sorcery to add its ability.)
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.
manag: Level 2
Permanents you control with counters on them have ward mana1.
mana3manag: Level 3
If you would put one or more counters on a permanent or player, put twice that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead.

mild folio
#

Burgeoning and exploration?

tribal temple
#

[[View from above]]

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

if you arent running it you should. Its $0.34

sand island
#

Ooh, that's interesting

tribal temple
#

4 mana draw 2 on everyones turn

sand island
#

I run [[whitemane lion]] which is essentially the same idea

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

yeah, whiteman is just easier to interact with

sand island
#

That works better with [[ojer pakpatiq]] in my list through

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — God
Flying
Whenever you cast an instant spell from your hand, it gains rebound. (Exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.)
When Ojer Pakpatiq dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control with three time counters on it.
4/3

Temple of Cyclical Time
Land
(Transforms from Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch.)
manat: Add manau. Remove a time counter from Temple of Cyclical Time.
mana2manau, manat: Transform Temple of Cyclical Time. Activate only if it has no time counters on it and only as a sorcery.
Chimil gave the Oltec time. Ojer Pakpatiq gave them the tools to learn its lessons.

pastel agate
#

View is better, imo

sand island
#

I like how whitemane can work as protection though

pastel agate
#

Right, forgot about that

#

I will say, draw-go is a deck type I have yet to build

#

Maybe draw-go is what I should go to with this

#

That way i can double spell multiple times a rotation

sand island
#

The last few games, I hit all my flash enablers, so I was playing very similar to draw go, which was a lot of fun

#

Pakpatiq seems very strong for draw go, that way you get 2 spells on your turn as well, without needing to commit resources on your turn

#

I have a wilderness reclamation. I should slot it in

pastel agate
#

Very true

#

Seedborn muse would be good

tribal temple
#

Seedborn muse and wilderness relamation is the next version I want to build.

#

I love that bumble can have 2 totally different styles

sand island
#

There are so many different ways to build bumbleflower, it's a lot of fun to craft

pastel agate
sand island
#

lmao

tribal temple
#

hey dont overwhelm me! I only have so much time and money to brew!

pastel agate
#

Control, draw-go, superfriends, +1/+1 counters, group hug

#

I still have poor [[Zinnia]] to work on and she requires a lot of work 😦

brave folioBOT

#

Those are just the ones that have been theorized

#

I forgot about us theorizing Hare Apparent

#

Oh yeah, storm draw-out combos are possible too

[[radstorm]] just seems so cool

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

I bought a radstorm and one day ill fit it in a deck

#

I used to be an izzet player but i hated having people watch me take 15min long turns

#

Its a much better experience in 1v1

sand island
#

True

#

In 1v1, 3 others aren't tied up, and you can just scoop whenever tbh

mild folio

Do people say they hate your Bumble deck? Lol I feel like it looks fun to face ngl

But I love more political decks, keeps the table engaged

sand island
#

Well, I'm kinda a troll

#

too slow, I removeed it from my list

sand island
#

[[dreamtide whale]] is also huge

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I also love heliod

pastel agate
#

Heliod isn’t too slow, just gotta pay in installments

#

7 mana is nothing when you’re basically casting the rest of the spells in your hand for 1 pip after

sand island
#

I keep saying it, but I want to make a heliod deck with wheels and a ton of giant colorless payoffs

mild folio
#

Would [[Eluge, the Shoreless Sea]] be too slow? It is super strong in the command zone but I don't think it would do much in the 99

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Elemental Fish
Eluge's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Islands you control.
Whenever Eluge enters or attacks, put a flood counter on target land. It's an Island in addition to its other types for as long as it has a flood counter on it.
The first instant or sorcery spell you cast each turn costs manau (or mana1) less to cast for each land you control with a flood counter on it.
*/*

half ice
#

Found it always very hard to cast it, maybe it's just me but it was getting removed before I could do anything with it. And I think 7 mana is still a lot. I feel like heliod works best in a deck built around him

pastel agate
sand island
#

His recursion isn't nothing, and then the flash enabling is well worth 3 mana, as well as the cost reduction IMO

half ice
#

I'll try to give it another chance but I think I always rather play 2 separate spells that impact the board straight away and draw 2 than heliod + 3 to activate

mild folio
#

Ill have to work on my list later when I'm off work and then share to get some opinions I wanna have a good direction for upgrades cause I wanna spend my time here in the future focusing on refining my current decks over making new ones and Bumbleflower is one I really wanna make pop 🎉

Unless I have some protection or other interaction I can hold up

Then bumbleflower is getting thicc

Or if I have benton as a better target to grow

Or some other +1 counter sink to draw cards/recur/etc

Usually bumbleflower with just 1 or 2 counters has a big enough butt to dissuade attackers early game.

mild folio

Alright I'm probably playing wrong by dumping my counters on her too fast but I don't think I have many other good targets in my current list so that's something to look into

Thank yall for all the answers and advice tho I'm excited to brew something hopefully more functional (I'm gonna take a lot inspiration from your list @sand island)

I'm still very much a magic novice, but no problem! Welcome to the bumbleclub, and enjoy!

There's no one true bumbleflower deck that works. It'll take a lot of trial to determine what you like the best.

mild folio
#

Ill share what I brew up thank yall tho fr I have been asking A LOT of questions lol

sand island
#

You're always welcome any time!

solemn hamlet
mild folio
#

would [[Emissary Green]] be good?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I wouldn't bother with it, but it could be decent. I don't really love voting cards personally.

#

Unless you have a specific interaction with voting like that one commander.

mild folio
#

makes sense

pastel agate
#

It’s best in a go wide deck

mild folio
#

this might be a crazy way to deck build but I dump all the cards I am interested in or own that I like into a list then cut down so the brew rn has 164 cards 😅

sand island
#

Basically what I do

#

Then I end up buying them all anyways

mild folio
#

my roommates have told me I am crazy for this behavior lol

sand island
#

I think it's crazy any other way tbh

#

Maybe our brains are just built better

pastel agate
#

That’s pretty common to go over and cut down, i think

#

I typically go to (100-x lands) then stop

#

Then just start finding replacements

mild folio
#

this is where I am at rn 65 over working on cutting down, if anything stands out that you have tried and isn't great I'd love to know to make cuts easier

sand island
#

I don't know if I would run aven interrupter in a deck that already runs blue

#

Cool card though

mild folio
#

I'll sideboard it there is def stuff I have put it that is probably too much redundancy lol

sand island
#

I actually like promise of loyalty quite a bit. I should slot it back in my deck.

mild folio
#

I love promise

#

I would use it then pump something big someone kept to kill others lol

sand island
#

Duelist's heritage is especially good with that

pastel agate
#

Power matrix kinda bad

sand island
#

4 mana is expensive for that

mild folio
#

that's true

#

how do we feel about [[Windshaper Planetar]] I think it is funny but expensive

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Redemption arc not good

sand island
#

Worse than illusionist's gambit

pastel agate
#

Simic ascendancy is cute more than it is good

#

Council of four not great

tribal temple
#

I would mostly cut a lot of the higher cost CMC spells since you really want to cast 2 spells a turn.

I dont like forced fruition, smuggler's share, Redemption arc, court of garenbrig, simic ascendancy, blind obedience, Power matrix, decanter of endless water, thoughtvessel, bloodthirsty blade

pastel agate
#

Could be good, but still

sand island
#

And illusionist's gambit has the benefit of you being able to get it back with the [[torrential gearhulk]]

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

One thing with bumble to be aware of is you want to come across as everyone's friend so some scary cards you cant play because then everyone will turn and kill you

#

so you want to fly under the radar for as long as possible

sand island
#

Oh nvm, this isn't in your list

mild folio
sand island
#

I haven't played redemption arc myself personalliy

#

No, gearhulk

pastel agate
#

I’m not a fan of shrieking drake and co, but especially not drake

mild folio
#

oh yeah I have it in maybe

pastel agate
#

They do (pronouns, btw?)

sand island
#

Oh yeah, in sideboard

mild folio
pastel agate
#

Nils is straight up worse than propaganda imo

sand island
#

I think shrieking drake is made better with flash enablers

#

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of nils

pastel agate
#

More consistent

mild folio
#

so things might shift btw I am making changes as we talk gearhulk is in sideboard atm

sand island
#

Granted

mild folio
#

smuggler's share bad?

sand island
#

It's okay. Mostly a budget trouble in pairs effect.

pastel agate
#

It’s fine

#

Generous patron can be good with your aikido build

mild folio
pastel agate
#

But outside that it’s not great to give opponents counters

#

Homunculus horde is… meh, imo

sand island
#

Generous patron and kros. Yeah

pastel agate
#

Bad scute swarm

#

Jolrael is fine if you’re doing tokens

#

Idk, I wasn’t personally a fan

#

Mybe I should give it another shot

sand island
#

I don't think I've ever used Jol'rael tbh

mild folio
#

I like Jolrael as a finisher I can punc someone into orbit with her activated ability atleast I have before

sand island
#

I'm leaving her in my list until she at least hits the field lol

#

Council of four was too expensive and the second doctor kinda sucked imo

#

Dusk Legion Duelist seems pretty good

mild folio
#

Dusk Legion is great

pastel agate
#

Second doctor is uncontrolled hug

#

Me no like

sand island
#

It's not goad

#

And it's uncontrolled, yeah

#

If they draw a card, they weren't going to attack you anyways

#

So you just gave free card draw

mild folio
#

I am on the fence about Heliod he is expensive idk if I am sold on him

mild folio
pastel agate
mild folio
#

I am unsure if I will be storming that heavily with this strat

#

it is a bit hard to assess in a vacuum tho

sand island
#

Even without storming exactly, a 1 cost reduction on your first spell, then a 2 cost reduction on your second spell each opponent's turn is good. As well as being another flash enabler.

mild folio
#

aight you sold me I'm in

#

is [[Suppressor Skyguard]] a bad redundancy for propaganda or prison?

brave folioBOT
mild folio
#

trying to cut some stuff with the same cmc as bumble

sand island
#

Seems not good

#

Though it does prevent all combat damage in a 1v1?

pastel agate
#

7 mana is rough but it can be paid in installments and basically turns your cards into single colored mana

sand island
#

Oh nevermind, they have to have another opponent (who isn't being attacked).

mild folio
#

it also doesn't do anything if they swing a creature at each opponent

#

which spreads stuff out but very week to go wide decks

#

would [[Hullbreaker Horror]] paint too much of a target on me? I am considering removing cards that make me too scary looking lol

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

It is a very scary card

#

But what are they going to do about it? You have a hullbreaker horror.

#

Just bounce every spell they cast against you back to their hand

mild folio
#

lol that is true

sand island
#

Its cost is a little limiting, as it's harder to double spell with it

#

And it might be a little too oppressive if you can make it stick.

#

Same with glen elandra

mild folio
#

glen is good obviously but I think I would get more hate for hullbreaker more thanm maybe I want lol

sand island
#

hullbreaker does offer a lot of protection

#

for dealing with the hate
