What's a good budget to make a reasonable deck

#

I kinda always play budgetless

#

My lgs has said they expect stock mid march

pastel agate
#

$100 is usually a good middle ground

tall blaze
pastel agate
#

Between super budget and not budget at all

tall blaze
#

I feel like all my decks end up approaching about £450

pastel agate
#

Tbh I’d start with the precom and edit from there

tall blaze
#

Half of which is the mana base

sand island
#

Yeah the precon isn't too bad ootb

pastel agate
wicked cove
#

xD

tall blaze
pastel agate
#

They aren’t actually included

tall blaze
#

I go budgetless but in reality no cards over £100

sand island
#

Mine is mostly labor costs

pastel agate
#

The website defaults to the magic online promos which don’t have a price

#

I also don’t have real duals because ew

pastel agate
#

So that works out

tall blaze
#

My "target" bumbleflower is like 500 eur but that's because I've intentionally not put in lots of free Counterspell

#

Which would make it stronger

#

Also it's a go wide build and I have no clue if that works

sand island
#

Mine is currently ~$200 going by tcgplayer prices

tall blaze
#

Deckbuilding to a budget might be a fun exercise

#

But like... I don't think I would ever play a deck like that?

sand island
#

There's really little difference besides the staples

tall blaze
#

It feels bad to be playing suboptimal cards just for the arbitrary deckbuilding limit

sand island
#

Many times, you can find a cheaper approximation to an expensive card

#

Commander isn't about running the best thing at all times anywho

#

"best"

tall blaze
#

Of course. But playing a tapped land (for budget reasons) because I chose not to put in an untapped land feels wrong to me

#

I would rather have fewer decks than more decks which are hindered by budget

#

I only really have two decks built which aren't upgraded precons, and they don't run any tapped lands except for surveils because they're fetchable and surveil is strong

sturdy tiger
#

Working on full foiling your Bunny list?

pastel agate
sturdy tiger
#

That's awesome, I actually just finished full foiling mine out recently thanks to my partner

pastel agate
#

Ohhhhhh shoot the list!

#

That's awesome dawg

sturdy tiger
#

The pièce de résistance

pastel agate
#

DAAAAAANG

#

Jealous

#

Shit, man, I might see if I can't trade up into one

#

If I can snag one at MagicCon I absolutely will

sturdy tiger
#

It's a very nice card, but I wouldn't encourage spending 300 on it

pastel agate
#

Right, no shot am I spending [[$bumbleflower]]

#

wheeze

sturdy tiger
#

Oh yeah she's gone up

pastel agate
#

If I can trade up I will

#

But that's so goddamn much

sturdy tiger
#

My partner helped me cop her 6 months ago off TCGPlayer when she was still in the 300 range

#

What’s the combo?

wicked cove
#

[[Evolution Witness]]+[[Ms. Bumbleflower]] + 2 0 mana value artifacts

brave folioBOT
wicked cove
#

[[Rosie Cotton]] + [[Basking Broodscale]]

brave folioBOT
wicked cove
#

I am not sure if those are good combos or even considered combos.. I just think those cards work well together

pastel agate
#

True

wicked cove
#

I probably should rename xD

pastel agate
#

What is a funny idea is that anything that lets you cast a spell infinitely wins you the game since her draw is required

wicked cove

#

Do you think [[Teferi's Ageless Insight]] is too expensive for bumbling?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Nah, I run it

pastel agate
#

It’s probably just me but I do not

sand island
#

I'm just addicted to drawing cards

modest lion
#

My only problem with Teferi's Ageless Insight is that it immediately turns you into the problem. I find that my Bumble wins often come because I'm largely left alone until it's too late.

pastel agate
modest lion
# pastel agate Same - or you are able to land a one sided board wipe to really tip the scales

I try to stay true to the group hug philosophy, so there are no board wipes in my deck - just targeted removal for whoever is the biggest problem.

Black Vise and similar pain on draw effects are really the only cards that make people openly hostile to me.

When I have the time, I'm excited to go through this thread and see what people like to do! I love me some Bumble and group hug.

pastel agate
#

Heck yeah - I wouldn’t dig too deep, though, we’re nearly 8,000 messages in now lol

#

Holy crap we did surpass 8k

sand island
#

lol

pastel agate
#

We are now blazing a trail to beat the general deckbuilding thread

sand island
#

We need a pinned message with every user's decklist link lol

pastel agate
#

I’d be down for that

#

Post ‘em

pastel agate
#

My problem is that you can’t see pinned messages in threads on mobile

#

It’s weird

#

But eh

sand island
#

Oh, weird

pastel agate
#

Oh! You can apparently! It’s in the settings option (that I’m not sure you can see)

sand island
#

Yep, just takes a few extra steps

pastel agate
#

Heck yeah

sand island
#

So weord they don't put pinned messages right there next to settings lol

pastel agate
#

So feel free to post your decklists and I’ll pin them

sand island
#

Mine ^

tall blaze
#

I've decided to make a big proxy order. My idea is to buy proxies of all the staples which I can't afford to buy like 5 copies of just because they go in every x colour deck... so now I can actually make my bumbleflower!

sand island
pastel agate
#

Also, fun news - I am hunting for a raised foil bumble at MagicCon

sand island
#

Pog Good luck

pastel agate
pastel agate
#

If I don’t get one I don’t, which is fine

sand island
#

I have like 5 bumbleflower deck lists open in my browser at all times, I just have to figure out who is who...

pastel agate
#

Lmao

tall blaze
#

Like finding someone who has it and you have stuff they really want enough to ignore the ~$300 difference?

#

I've not been much of a trader

pastel agate
tall blaze
tall blaze
#

I would absolutely do that deal, I have... $5k of cards I dont play with

#

But actually trading is hard for me

pastel agate
#

I have probably that much too lol

#

I’ll really be pooling my resources for this one

tall blaze
#

Sad thing is that isnt including everything bought in the last month becuase I got lazy with scanning

#

I think if I can put together a bumble list I really love and it becomes my favourite deck

#

I'll maybe sell all my weird high value stuff (foil future sight stuff etc.) that I dont even play with and buy the bumble

tall blaze
pastel agate
#

I have an excel sheet lmao

#

I could probably download a copy of it

tall blaze
#

I'm thinking, staples which will go in every deck (landbase, ramp etc), high value cards which will likely go in a couple of decks (burgeoning etc)

#

but not gonna proxy cards where I likely only ever need one for a very specific deck

#

My plan is to own at least one of each of the cards I proxy

#

So I can, in a pinch, make the deck real

pastel agate
tall blaze
pastel agate
#

It might’ve broken in the transfer between Google sheets and an excel file, but it also had a pivot table that helped auto create the list of staples you need

tall blaze
#

Yeah I might also just throw in the og duals because... why not, it's gonna be abulk order 😄

pastel agate
#

so you can copy paste into whatever proxy creator you want

tall blaze
#

What did you use

#

I'll probably just make a moxfield deck for my list

#

Wow your quantities are... high

#

I've only got two proxies, and only two paper decks so far, but imagine once I'm free of the burden of manabases I can suddenly build whatever I like

pastel agate
#

As for the lands I needed them far more often

tall blaze
#

Sensible

#

I fear I may go a little wild with this 😄 but thats probably good

crystal quest
crystal quest
#

Considering leaning into how powerful she is and just adding Aluren

pastel agate
#

Aluren would be very funny

crystal quest
#

Just draw everyone out

pastel agate
#

Also enables potential win combos

crystal quest
#

Take that, constant mists

pastel agate
#

Trueeee

#

Constant mists sucks

crystal quest
#

I’d rather win with my large rabbit, but if not…

[[Aluren]]

#

as long as your opponents have no interaction that you can’t handle you just deck them all

clear aspen
#

Updated my list! I added back Selvala cause I got the secret lair and idk she just is super pretty. Also added a bunch of counter doublers and Sab-Sunen. I figured if Sab-Sunen is played into a counter doubler, she is going to stay even most likely and will just grow ridiculously fast.

#

[[dismiss into dream]] looks cool but too expensive

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

So expensive, but pretty sweet actually

tall blaze
#

turns every spell into removal which gets behind indestructible

#

pretty cool

Excited to play my updated bumbleflower tomorrow. I think it will feel alot better

It was glorious

#

Card is a one card toolbox for bumble

#

Makes a fucking huge guy, draws cards and eventually just resets someone’s board

clear aspen
#

Oooooo I’ll add him to my wishlist

pastel agate
#

I’ve had him in there for a while

#

Planeswalkers in conjunction with [[dreamtide whale]] just means you’re winning the game

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Oh that makes sense cause proliferate works with the planeswalker counters! Maybe I’ll add back evolution sage when I add him. I removed alot of my proliferate cause I felt it wasn’t doing a ton for me

#

But I also wasn’t running any planeswalkers at the time

pastel agate
#

I’m not a fan of evolution sage even if it is objectively really good

#

Idk why

clear aspen
#

Yea it was on the chopping block for me

#

I felt counter doublers > proliferate idk why

pastel agate
#

Yeah. I’m a big fan of [[ozolith shattered spire]]

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Got that in there 🙂

pastel agate
#

It kinda does it all in one package if you need it

clear aspen
#

Also [[hardened scales]] and [[conclave mentor]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

That + hardened scales + vorinclex + innkeeper’s talent + conclave mentor means I pretty consistently get at least one

clear aspen
#

Don’t have vorinclex but I’ll also add him to the wishlist!

sand island
#

[[pir, imaginative]] is real nice for planeswalkers too

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I haven't yet seen [[radstorm]], but I'm hoping for the day

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Yea I saw that card in alot of your guys decks

sand island
#

My frenemy has a Storm (the superhero card and the archetype) deck, so it might be a funny surprise if he plays it.

pastel agate
#

Good news though - got about 5 more foils for bumble today!

sand island
#

How many cards do you need for a full foil deck now?

pastel agate
#

A lot still - I checked cardkingdom and for the version of each card I want I’d have to drop another, like, $1k on the deck to finish it out

#

And that’s not even exactly the shiniest version I want

#

Like the expeditions

clear aspen
#

Yikes

sand island
#

I'm sure stuff like foil vorinclex is real spendy

pastel agate
#

Yeah, vorinclex alone is $30 for the cheapest version

#

But I wanna get the step and compleat foil

clear aspen
#

Yea I just saw vorinclex normal is like $70 🤯

#

My man got a fucking great henge and I thought that was ridiculous

#

Some of these cards man are too damn expensive

pastel agate
#

I got a foil etched one at MagicCon Vegas!

#

It was $80 but I traded for all of it

clear aspen
#

Oh nice! You know I’ve got two delneys and I have no idea what to do with one let alone 2. We should try to trade some of our more expensive dupes

pastel agate
#

Yep! That’s the plan.

sand island
#

Delney is so good

pastel agate
#

I’m stocking the hell out of my trade binder when I go to Chicago to hopefully get a raised foil bumble

#

Delney would be good for bumble if you never put counters on her

#

She’d immediately draw 2

sand island
#

Oh you're so right

clear aspen
#

True but I feel like voltron is where she belongs

pastel agate
#

Problem with that is i would also want it to trigger my other stuff and i need those to get big too

#

Like atp I’d rather have Sakashima of a thousand faces or Mockingbird

clear aspen
#

Yea! Maybe with like Generous Patron you could use your counters for more group hug type stuff

sand island
#

Are you guys adding anything from aetherdrift?

#

Maybe gearhulk

clear aspen
brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Nice. Let me know how you like her

clear aspen
#

Will do! Hoping I draw her!

#

Also (and let me know if this isn’t allowed) i got this Dr Seuss themes bunny token so hoping I draw tempt with bunnies lmao

sand island
#

Pog

#

Custom tokens should be no problem. Proxies either as long as it's clear they are custom.

#

Share a pic, I'm curious what that would even look like lol

sand island
clear aspen
#

Ikr dude!!! Omg I got this super cute saproling one too for my slimefoot and squee deck

sand island
#

He protec, he attac, bnuuy

#

Okay those are great

clear aspen
#

I fell in love

sand island
#

I got fogliokens (Phil Foglio's token set) but no bunnies 😔

clear aspen
#

Awww well would recommend they came pretty high quality!

sand island
#

Nice. I'll consider them if I have a token I end up using a lot

#

I guess I use plants and beasts in my landfall deck, but my other token deck is [[volo, guide to monsters]] and those tokens are a little unique lol.

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Haven’t drawn her yet but bumble’s ability to control the counters on sab sunen means you get the best of both worlds constantly

clear aspen
#

Yea! And I was thinking even with a counter doubler, she stays even and just grows super fast

pastel agate
#

That part I don’t like, actually

#

But tbh it’s a worthwhile downside

#

Gets huge, if you can keep it even

#

If not it’s a good draw engine but it’s not grest atp

sand island

Just sac it to [[disciple of freyalise]]

Do you have any idea how freaking hard it is to find that in foil?!!

I don’t wanna pay for a free aaaaaappppp

#

Ugh $3 a month

tall blaze
#

You guys all talking about bumble is making me want to build mine more bah

#

But it's so expensive

#

And proxies will take weeks to arrive if I order now

tall blaze
#

I'm thinking about buying some og duals or trading for them if I ever see someone trading... but my problem is my trade binder is so widely varied that it's unlikely anyone would want the mishmash of card in there, even at considerably over value

modest lion
#

It's interesting seeing how everyone builds their deck. I moved away from the counter enablers entirely, and have gone full group hug cards / payoffs, with the goal being alt-win cons. I know someone who went full poison counters with it.

I think Bumble can be an exceptionally mean commander, but I've chosen to stay full group hug. And it wins at an absurd rate. I'll have to get my decklist updated and up here.

tall blaze

#

Hey guys, I got my hand on the precon, so I'm switching plans from building a bumbleflower deck to upgrading one first. I know there are many ways to go from here. Which one would you recommend?

pastel agate
#

What’s something you like to do?

modest lion
wicked cove
#

Ill probably play it out of the box for a bit to get a feeling for the group hug/ politics behind it and ill decide after that 🙂 So looking forward to play the bunny 🙂

pastel agate
#

It’s still a bracket 4 but it also drops the most recently banned cards and fast mana and adds in some more fun stuff

#

I’m not going back to this list but I figured it’d be helpful to those who wanna abuse the cards she gives away to the max

pastel agate
#

So to our newest several bumblers, @clear aspen, @wicked cove, @modest lion, and @tall blaze: have you gotten a deck together and gotten games in? If so, how has she played for you? If not, is there anything past actually getting the cardboard together (ex. $, time, etc) that’s keeping you from doing it?

modest lion
# pastel agate So to our newest several bumblers, <@125846604400951296>, <@229175421286088705>,...

I've been running Bumble since she came out. I had started playing not long before Bloomburrow, so I was really excited at the idea of a group hug deck, as it was new to me. Since then, I've run Bumble probably more than any other deck, and it wins at like a 90% rate.

Being able to manipulate the board via card draw on any turn, play genuine group hug cards that keep me from drawing hate from the table, and letting my board state build have all turned out well for me.

Lastly, I try to win via alt win cons (Triskaidekaphile, Toed Toad, etc) when possible, but having the board state I do by the end of the game helps me win with combat if necessary.

pastel agate
#

(90% rate probably means the need to re-evaluate what PL it can play at fwiw)

modest lion
#

I'm new to the forum, but not new to Bumble. I just run her more kindly than most, I think. Mine is very mid-power, meant to be run in pods that are better than precon level, but aren't necessarily "Win by turn 7 or you lose".

modest lion
# pastel agate (90% rate probably means the need to re-evaluate what PL it can play at fwiw)

Yeah, I've thought about that. I have wondered whether I'm playing it against lower power tables, but I try really hard to make sure it's run appropriately. 90% is an exaggeration, but it definitely wins more often than I'd have guessed.

I'll look closer at that for future tables, but I've only got four decks, so sometimes it's the default choice if we're in the mid-power range. That might be part of the problem.

pastel agate
#

Another consideration is that bumble is kind of volatile with board states

#

Very seldom does she get down and dirty and scrap the table, usually you’re either rolled because you gave away too many cards or you roll the table because you can stop the card advantage you give from being useful

#

But she 100% plays higher power than you’d expect

wicked cove
#

Still waiting on the precon. And I might play her some as is before upgrading in any direction 🙂

pastel agate
#

Heck yeah, I’m excited for you homie!

sand island
#

The precon, like others, has a dozen or so useless cards, but it's still pretty good.

pastel agate
#

I wouldn’t call them “useless” so much as “not a good fit for bumble”

sand island
#

Well okay, fair. Insofar as no card is really useless.

#

Although it does make me wonder if anyone is using that poison squirrel treasure guy

wicked cove
#

tbf I have no clue what those cards are yet or which direction I could go with bumble

pastel agate
#

Oh

#

I forgot that was in the bumble precon

#

Tf

#

Nah you’re right Levi that card sucked

sand island
#

Top decks for it on edhrec are bumble, just because it came in the precon lol

#

And people are running it in squirrel tribal (???)

clear aspen
# pastel agate So to our newest several bumblers, <@125846604400951296>, <@229175421286088705>,...

I have edited my deck a ton and probably played 10 games with her. I really struggled with lethality until I switch to really focusing on counters. Originally I focused on draw abilities and I found I had alot of trouble getting the necessary lethality for my lgs and especially against my boyfriend Ygra eater of all artifact deck, i just couldn’t scale enough without counter doublers and the like.

sand island
#

I swear, tribal players just see the type line

#

Oh actually, it might go pretty well in a [[kibo, uktabi prince]] deck

Whenever Kibo attacks, defending player sacrifices an artifact of their choice.

pastel agate
#

They literally just double the effectivity of her counters

clear aspen
pastel agate
#

I would focus more on adders than doublers, fwiw

#

Adders tend to be cheaper mv

clear aspen
#

I just destroyed my friends in a game online making bumble a super scary threat

wicked cove
#

I thought about going big bunny with her, but I build another go tall deck and got told, that i will not work at all..so I am scared trying that strategy again

sand island
#

^ Agreed with this. Doubling 1 isn't very huge either.

pastel agate
#

And also have other stuff attached like lae’zel, kami of whispered hopes, etc

sand island
#

Innkeeper's talent is great though. Partially because you can upgrade it in steps, and each step does something amazing.

#

💰 though

clear aspen
#

Yea I have a bunch of cards from several of your guy’s list that are a little higher in price that I definitely want to upgrade into though

pastel agate
sand island
#

It was used in standard for a decent while

#

With the Vraska PW that gives poison counters

#

Since you can play her and immediately poison your opponent for 12

#

Oh it was 18. [[vraska, betrayal's sting]]

tall blaze
modest lion
#

This list isn't 100% accurate (the give away is that it has 101 cards), but it's very close. I have a couple changes I want to make to upgrade my ramp, as well as another hug instant or two.

#

It's still in the "early draft" phase for me, which means I haven't optimized ramp and removal - just trying to focus on synergies and find out what cards perform best - but as a group hug deck, I don't think I'm going to play a whole lot more strict removal. It'll still be stuff like Invigorate, which I can use to swing a fight in someone else's favor, hence pseudo-removal sticking to the group hug intent.

pastel agate
#

Any way to offset a board wipe in your favor is best

#

They're usually a way for me to close the game out late when people are already whittled down. Both Crawlers + Black Vise can kill someone in one turn late in the game, if they're low and I need to win a 1v1.

clear aspen
#

Ooo black vise seems good!

modest lion
#

Black Vise is one of my favorite includes. It flips the group hug dynamic immediately on its head, so I only play it on someone if they're clearly the problem, or if it's late game and I know I'll need to win a fight (if alt-win cons aren't an option).

Both Crawlers + Black Vise + Psychic Possession + a handful of cheap casts to maximize what someone is drawing = a very damaging turn.

I have looked at a few peoples list already. I definitely feel out knowledged lol but it’s all good. I love the many ways you can play the deck

pastel agate
#

Absolutely! It’s why we have such a fervent following of people haha

sand island
#

A bunch of bumbling buffoons

spring narwhal
#

the first time I ever got this deck is actually all by luck too.

#

I assumed that this was the only deck on the shelf at walmart and after purchasing it, i realized there was another one, but at that point, i was like whatever, a cute bunny deck is okay

sand island
#

The bunny life chose you

#

It was fate

spring narwhal
#

You are right, it was fate. no complaints from me

clear aspen
spring narwhal
#

I bought my first ever deck and the exact same day like 30 minutes later, I bought bumbleflower so my friend and I could 1v1. I will not lie, I had a bias and didnt think this deck wouldnt hold up compared to the other deck. But this deck is way more fun for sure

tribal temple
#

finally gettring around to pinning my deck. My group hasn't been playing as much lately so I haven't gotten a bumble game in, in almost 2 months 😦

#

I think someone else needs to pin it for me

sand island
#

Yeah, Umaru will get around to it. Only those with permission can pin.

spring narwhal
#

Does anyone else’s play group consider your bumble deck a fake group hug deck?

pastel agate
#

In fact I usually (jokingly) say that bumbleflower gives away cards so people can keep up with her

tribal temple
#

I dont consider mine group hug

#

I only really give out cards using her. Everything else only benefits me 😅

#

I also noticed I run a lot more lands than most of the other pinned decks. I think I ave 38 lands and like 2-4 MDFCs

pastel agate
#

I run 36 lands inclusive of mdfcs

tribal temple
#

😲

#

Do you ever run into issues hitting your land drops the first 6 or so turns?

pastel agate
#

Nope, usually it’s fine

#

Gameplay loop wants to get bumble out ASAP, then start double spelling every turn, so if I have that I’m good to go

sand island
#

Bumble's card draw is enough where you really have no issues finding lands

sand island
tribal temple
#

The reason I didn't go the group hug route is because that usually takes you down the alt wincon path, and I dont have a ton of fun with those

modest lion
# spring narwhal Does anyone else’s play group consider your bumble deck a fake group hug deck?

Bumble can be built as a Group Hug deck, but most people tend to build her without that in mind at all. You'll see a lot more mean Bumble decks than hug ones.

I built mine along the pure hug route, as much as possible. You're looking for alt win cons or late game board states that are just too big to deal with.

Funny enough, even though I had 30-ish cards that could benefit someone other than me at the time, I had people complaining at me that it wasn't group hug enough. Some people just like to complain.

spring narwhal
#

I think the best part of my deck when I can pull it off, is to help everyone draw their cards (group hug). I like it when they draw their cards and then have to discard them all at the end 😂.

#

But I do like how many different avenues she can go down and be played as

sand island
#

May I suggest [[forced fruition]] then?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I'm slowly but surely brewing a mill bumbleflower

#

Hey Guys 🫡
I'm new on the channel and have read a lot about Ms. Bumbleflower here and how you could build her which are a lot of different routes.
I have searched long now for a new Commander Deck but can't find any strong and fun ones to play but here. GOSH this commander seems to have a lot of potential.

So my question is .. from the Decklists here posted what would you guys say is the "best" Strongest one for a Commander Bracket 3 kind of playgroup? 🙂

Let's bumble 😄

sand island
#

I don't think I'd say there's one "best" way to build her.

clear aspen
#

Yea I just think they are all different. i think alot of us are going more voltron with her but it’s a pretty diverse commander that you can take many different ways

pastel agate
#

It’s whatever speaks to you!

wintry pine
#

Yeah I flew over a lot of Decklists so far and they are really all different.
But since I don't want to combo or play stax I think the best route for me maybe is just +1/+1 counters since my playgroup mostly plays combat based Decks .

Any recommendations for some unique "must play" cards for this commander overall?

clear aspen
#

I really like [[generous patron]]

sand island
#

Stuff like [[freestrider lookout]] is pretty staple-y

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

clear aspen
#

[[kros defense contractor]] has put in a ton of work for me too

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
#

Yeah, Kros is cool. I cut him, and the whole goad package, but he's neat.

#

My favorite card as of late is [[duelist's heritage]]

brave folioBOT
wintry pine
#

Okay nice I think I will carefully brew one for my self and maybe get some advice afterwards that's easier I think.
I really do like to put just "good stuff cards" randomly into decks haha like [[Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath]] but not sure if it's fitting or [[Subtlety]] as a free spell maybe?

I will see what I can cook and back again with some Flowers 🙂

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Elder Giant
When Uro enters, sacrifice it unless it escaped.
Whenever Uro enters or attacks, you gain 3 life and draw a card, then you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.
Escape—managmanagmanaumanau, Exile five other cards from your graveyard. (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its escape cost.)
6/6

sand island
#

I mean, those both could fit

#

I usually value synergy pieces over just good cards, but those could both work in whatever deck you're making

pastel agate
#

Free spells go hard with bumble

#

Has anyone ever been able to pull Tamiyos Ult before?

#

For the ones that do run it

pastel agate
sand island
#

Usually get it with [[innkeeper's talent]] doubling I assume

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.

wintry pine
#

I just got mail and wondered what the Bumbleflower Mains think about this card [[Brightglass Gearhulk]] ?

brave folioBOT
#

Artifact Creature — Construct
First strike, trample
When this creature enters, you may search your library for up to two artifact, creature, and/or enchantment cards with mana value 1 or less, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle.
"A new day dawns for Avishkar, and we shall draw our power from its light."

esper and spore frog

#

Curves well from bumbleflower t3 -> brightglass t4 -> cast 1 drop you tutored for

#

I’m just trying to think of what all you could get

crystal quest
#

Also grabs hardened scales

wintry pine
#

And also would get exploration and mystic remora, hardended scales and what about walking balista would this work too?

spring narwhal
#

I just looked up Dreamtide whale and that’s actually super cool

spring narwhal
sand island
#

Yeah, dreamtide is another staple

pastel agate
#

Vanishing is the thing that removes counters and also sacrifices the thing

pastel agate
#

You’ve convinced me

#

It’s solid

#

Where is the room for it though?

#

What about the upcoming Commander unbans ?
Could this be unbanned for todays current powerlevel 😮
[[Prophet of Kruphix]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

Hopefully they don't unban anything

#

and ban sol ring

spring narwhal
#

I hope they don’t ban sol ring I just got the future sight of it lol

sand island
#

Sol ring is so bad for casual commander

#

There's a lightyear's difference between having it early and not.

wintry pine
#

Did someone here already tested or consider [[Submerge]]?
Just found it while going through bulk and also found a [[Carpet of Flowers]] and a [[Seedborn Muse]] and a [[Hadana's Climb]]

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Enchantment
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. Then if that creature has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, transform Hadana's Climb.
Hadana seeks power in the service of peace.

Winged Temple of Orazca
Legendary Land
(Transforms from Hadana's Climb.)
manat: Add one mana of any color.
mana1managmanau, manat: Target creature you control gains flying and gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is its power.

sand island
#

seedborn muse is obviously crazy

crystal quest
#

Submerge is exceptional in almost every pod - someone’s probably running green. And if they’re not, just include [[yavimaya forest]]

brave folioBOT
crystal quest
#

It’s honestly one of my fave removal spells

sand island
#

Yeah, it's probably free a majority of the time

tall blaze
#

So this is my theorycrafted list, never built or played, but I'm gonna start working towards it. Biggest blocker right now is the landbase and some of the pricy land-based cards

#

eg boseiju

half ice
#

I play [[ravenous rumble]] in my list over any 2 mana ramp spell. Such an underrated card

brave folioBOT
#

No card found for “ravenous rumble”

half ice
#

[[malevolent rumble]] sorry i was working on my gitrog ravenous ride deck

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

That's not ramp though

#

It seems decent, especially with graveyard synergy, but it's not quite the same as land ramp.

half ice
#

surely not but with a decent land base it still makes me cast bumble on turn 3. Biggest upside is that it's such a better card to draw than fareseek or similar cards after turn 3

sand island
#

How much 2 mana ramp do you run?

half ice
#

I think I’m around 10 pieces of 2 cmc or less

spring narwhal
#

I got some possible upgrades to my deck, one of them being hullbreaker horror. What do we think about that

#

To me it does have good synergy but it cost so much

sand island
#

It is really good, and lets you singlehandedly take control of the game

#

But the mv is so high, it's hard to double spell with'

spring narwhal
#

That is fair it’s a potential add for sure, might have to see it in a game or two too determine

tall blaze
#

I run a pretty heavy ramp package so the high cost doesn't spook too badly

wintry pine
#

Currently brewing on my deck and trying to find some cuts.
What do we think of this card here so our gifts are not completely free?
[[Scrawling Crawler]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
wintry pine
#

Yeah true and while brewing and looking through other Decks as well I don't understand why everyone runs so much counterspells I understand the goal of this commander to play 2 spells a turn if possible and with that much counterspells don't you end up just gifting cards ?

pastel agate
#

So you hit that second one

#

Although casting 2 on everyone’s turn is a pretty specific build that doesn’t play out well imo

wintry pine
#

So its more a balancing act between if I want to double spell in my turn and get in for combat and protecting my stuff wisely?
I'm brewing one atm but want to go more into the +1/+1 combat build I think but really don't get the Deck so far how its playing out and "winning" 😄

pastel agate
#

It happens much quicker than you’d think

#

That’s how I built mine, anyway.

#

A few big turning points for my deck are:

  • landing a hardened scales effect or two
  • stopping/protecting from a board wipe
  • board wiping (mine are all completely or nearly asymmetrical)
#

Once I hit 2 of those 3 I’m usually far enough ahead to close out the game

wintry pine
#

Okay nice then I will have a closer look on your list I guess 🙂
Thanks for the tips (Y)

#

Tbh mockingbird is one of those that keeps popping up as “man this is really good”

#

I’d argue phantasmal image is also good but you can’t give it counters

modest lion
#

That would work! Because it put it into your hand, you're fine. if it were to put it right onto the battlefield, then you'd run into issues where X was 0 and thus the effect is reduced.

wintry pine
#

Okay okay good to know I think I will try it out in my first Bumble Deck 😄

sand island
#

Yeah, mockingbird is cool

#

The new gearhulks are so pip heavy though

spring narwhal
#

I upgraded my deck, and I cant wait to test it out. I do think that I put some recommendations that yall said and try to apply it. I am interesting in what yall think about this card I added. I think there could be some merit with it but who knows. [[Xolatoyac, the smiling flood]]

Hey there I finally also brewed one and need help I guess 😄
I need 10 more cuts and if someone could look also over the massive Maybeboard would be nice I own all the cards in the link shown so budget is no limit.

My goal is ot make a +1/+1 counter Deck with her and try to get political and steal the win somehow 🙂

Currently my table does not want to make a lot of deals but maybe with this commander I could make it work out somehow.

#

Has anyone tried any of the aetherdrift cards yet? Im going to the cardshop today and wondering if I should snag any

tribal temple
#

That way they dont feel like they are making a deal, but they also will give me more leeway because they dont want to stop gettingn cards when everyone else is getting them

#

Both gearhulks look good

#

and Sab Sunan as well might be okay

#

I might add ripetide gearhulk to bumble and my [[Zinnia]] deck. The only issue with [[ripetide]] is I dont really have a way to flicker it

Double strike
Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
When this creature enters, for each opponent, put up to one target nonland permanent that player controls into its owner's library third from the top.

#

It might just be good without flickering tbh

tribal temple
#

yeah double strike flying is strong

sand island
#

Doublestrike prowess is one hell of a combo.

tribal temple
#

Its just even better if you can flicker

sand island
#

For sure

#

The selesnya gearhulk is good too. To fetch up hardened scales and other 1 drops if you have them.

#

Those really are the only 3 I'd consider from the set. Maybe Aetherspark too, but meh.

#

I didnt even think of grapping hardened scales

#

Aetherspark is too expensive for my tastes.

sand island
#

I don't run the stapley cards like esper sentinel, sol ring, shadowspear, etc, so I don't think it'd be too good for me

tribal temple
#

These are my only 1 drops but even then, they are very good

sand island
#

Yeah, getting two of those would be stronk

tribal temple
#

My group also cut all of our sol rings, they make the games too swingy

sand island
#

Yeah, sol ring is so bad for casual commander

#

It peeves me that it has an untouchable status

tribal temple
#

yeah same. Our games got way better since we cut them

sand island
#

One person shooting ahead randomly because of it definitely makes games feel a lot worse.

#

It being "just 1 in 99" makes the problem worse, not better. If everyone had 10 fast mana cards, then you'd see them every game, and everyone would be ramping equally.

#

(I don't like fast mana in general though)

#

Excuse my daily sol ring rant

tribal temple
#

Im with you. Its way to random and the power is way to great. If it was more consistant it wouldnt feel so bad

sand island
#

First strike, trample on brightglass is also real good

#

given Bumble's pumping power

what if

#

mill politics

#

making them draw 2 is kinda mill 2

#

you could loop fog effects to continue alive until they mill out

#

it would make so you wins take a lot of time though

#

@pastel agate any thoughts on this?

sand island
#

Yeah we've been discussing mill a little bit off and on

#

Probably not full mill, but partial

finite schooner
#

i might use her for a turbo fog deck

modest lion
#

I would just like to say that one of the most memorable games I've ever played was an Archenemy game where the Archenemy player had a fog effect 6 times in a row, completely keeping us from hitting them. Every turn was, "He can't have another one, right?".

So, I highly support anyone going full fog with a deck. Especially since it technically fits the group hug dynamic, because it can stop others from being hurt, too.

sand island
#

Fogs are great

#

Even without going turbofog

#

[[selfless squire]] is so good

It's so easy to swing a game with Selfless squire and then just casting a spell on your turn w/ bumbleflower out to make it flying

pastel agate
#

Bumble has a surprisingly low winrate at magic con!

#

Good threat assessment abound

#

I also popped off way too early a couple times which led to me being dealt with, in addition to playing against a suuper good [[marvo]] list that would make pontiff proud

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Octopus Rogue
Whenever Marvo attacks, clash with defending player. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a higher mana value.)
Whenever you win a clash, draw a card. Then you may cast a spell from your hand with mana value 8 or less without paying its mana cost.

When do we think we will get a bloomberrow remastered lol. I’m looking forward to it

I worry I might end up just turning bumbleflower into generic simic bs with some white for extra removal

#

Ramp hard draw hard

modest lion
#

Just be careful with mill effects - most people hate milling, even if it's a relatively slow win con, etc. It just draws people's hate, in many pods. I had Psychic Corrosion in my deck just to play around with it and see if that was a route I wanted to go. It drew hate every time - not great when I'm trying to play a "fly under the radar" deck.

So, just play it with intent and know what reaction you might get. No wrong answers.

#

However, [[!Psychic Possession]] is a blast that doesn't draw hate, in my experience.

sand island
#

Yeah, psychic possession is great

#

I'm already the archenemy every game, so it's business as usual

spring narwhal
#

That card is already in my deck, I do love it a lot and tend to get a lot of value

#

And of course, people don’t like milk and I get that might get a negative reaction. I will play it with caution

sand island

Mmm milk

spring narwhal

Hahaha I mean mill

Maybe those who hate mill are just lactose intolerant

Very interesting idea, I will test this the next time I play with my group

I’d also recommend running [[thraben charm]] if you’re going the mill route

brave folioBOT

#

Oh true, those are both good

#

I was considering RIP, since I already own a copy

#

Plus I love wilds of eldraine art [[rest in peace | WOT]]

#

I think it's really the only place that makes sense

#

Unless you want to just randomly say fuck you to GY decks

pastel agate
#

Nah, I’d only run it here

sand island
#

Cultivator colossus is so hot

#

It just reads as a draw your whole deck

#

Especially with bouncelands lol

pastel agate
sand island
#

If you have 2, don't you just draw out if you want?

pastel agate
#

No

sand island
#

Ohh I see

pastel agate
#

The triggers for the bounce lands don’t go on the stack until the ability fully resolves

sand island
#

Gotcha

pastel agate
#

Since the ETB is all one thing, then yeah. Nothing happens until you’re done doing it

sand island
#

^^ That makes me happy tbh

#

Dammit, I need to put fractured identity back in

tall blaze
#

Woo my second copy of the bloomburrow precons is in

#

Now I can always have an untouched bumbleflower

#

For when I play precon games

tall blaze
#

Back to crafting bumbleflower... trying to get maximum power out of her, probably high bracket 3 or somewhere in bracket 4

#

But I'm still wondering what the win con is other than just big flying beaters

#

Or... maybe that's all you need

sand island
#

I think I hate brackets now lol

tall blaze
#

I'm used to playing a style where I never attack, until the turn I win, where I attack for 300 damage

#

But I guess bumbleflower should be chipping more with that big flying bunny butt

sand island
#

What do you want to do with bumbleflower?

tall blaze
#

Lab man could be a fun win con but I can't see myself consistently drawing out

sand island
#

IDK, a lot of the time it's not chip damage, but a single bunny butt that hits for the win

tall blaze
#

Gotta do that 3 times though

sand island
#

It's not extremely difficult to run through drawing out

tall blaze
#

I want to basically just do simic ramping and drawing loads stuff, and then I guess use the cards and mana to win

sand island
#

No you don't. Just have your opponents kill each other

tall blaze
#

I struggle with that in Zimone and kind of see the same here but maybe not since bumble has that evasive vigilance

sand island
#

Stuff like [[misleading signpost]] is very good

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

Honestly my table just scoops before I have to hit them each to kill them

#

Ill get such a strong board state that they realize they wont be able to interact with it

tall blaze
sand island
#

He has all the cards and mana

#

And maybe a hullbreaker horror

tribal temple
#

Hullbreaker or

#

she goes infinite with bumble

sand island
#

Yeah she's great too

#

I used to run both, but they were kinda too oppressive, and didn't really fit my plan of drawing half a billion cards

tall blaze
#

Looking for some trample enablers. Maybe [[Shadowspear]] for when flying just isn't enough?

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

I've never once felt that trample was needed

tribal temple
#

You dont need anything except bumbles flying counter

#

Ive never felt the need for extra invasion

sand island
#

I still run [[rogue's passage]] just in case

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

The best trample is [[sergeant Benton]]

brave folioBOT
tall blaze
#

What do you guys do about hand size limits? Reliquary tower is a given, but there are a couple of others and not sure which to go for

#

Hmm I should cut lightning greaves. Shroud on bumbleflower kind of defeats the point.

sand island
#

I run reliquary tower, thought vessel, decanter of endless water, proft's eidetic memory

#

Yeah, I don't run boots

tall blaze
#

Swiftfoot still seems like a good idea

tribal temple
#

I am not really a fan of boots

sand island
#

We don't really need haste for anything

tribal temple
#

espeically in blue decks because Ill just counter anything you throw at her. Plus bumble has green so you ramp so her dying isn't a huge deal

sand island
#

Yeah, my protection exists in phasing out and counterspells

#

Unwind and rewind my beloveds

It’s easy to kill 3 opponents when they can’t touch you

I'm starting to really love [[Shigeki, Jukai Visionary]]

brave folioBOT

#

Shigeki is great

tall blaze
#

It's just such powerful recursion

#

I never see the card anywhere

sand island
#

I run it in two of my decks

tall blaze
#

In Zimone it's just an instant win card for me

#

Mid game getting all the best stuff out of my bin is wild

sand island
#

It's not awful ramp either

#

Basically a [[claim jumper]]

brave folioBOT

#

Sorry, [[clifftop lookout]]

brave folioBOT

It's kinda like an expensive steve that mills for me - if played on curve

#

Channeling is definitely what you put it in your deck for, yeah

#

It's just the modular ability which is nice

@sand island, 3lamog in millflower?

#

[[ulamog|mh3]]

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

10 is so steep though

#

It is cute

#

I like the idea of shoehorning in eldrazi in non-eldrazi decks

#

But i have no way of cheating it, so probably a pass

#

[[$ulamog the defiler]]

brave folioBOT

#

Also spendy NotLikeLain

#

I'd rather get a portal to phyrexia for one of my other decks tbh

tall blaze
#

I have three copies of it so I might run it

#

The bumble synergy!

sand island
#

10 mana is so much though

#

There's no way you could double spell it

#

The counter synergy is cool though

sand island
#

I need to put [[riverchurn monument]] in

brave folioBOT
sand island
#

good with the untap walker guy

#

Oh, it;'s exhaust, so I guess that part doesn't matter

#

[[deepmuck desparado]] is decent too eh

brave folioBOT

#

I'm feeling like tuning up my list a bit

#

I probably don't need Evo Witness AND Skullwinder... Also the Second Doctor has kind of been off my radar

modest lion
tribal temple
#

@solemn hamlet I was actually thinking of trying a deck in your style. My group has caught on to my deck so I think its time for a change soon and yours looked fun. Whats your typical win con?

#

Survive until th 1v1?

solemn hamlet
# tribal temple Survive until th 1v1?

Yep, most of the time. My build is a very defensive playstyle. Since it's wincon is very open-ended, its success kind of relies on moves your opponents make. Stuff like [[Reins of Power]] can end the game on the spot, though.
You've gotta really slap people hard when they try to interact with your stuff, and encourage them to look elsewhere. That can be tough if you don't have a politically inclined table, though.

brave folioBOT
solemn hamlet
#

Sorry if that doesn't exactly answer your question. But it really does rely on what the other players at the table are bringing imo.

pastel agate
sand island
#

Yeah for sure. But it also has some anti synergy with graveyard hate

pastel agate

DID YOU SEE I GOT THE RAISED FOIL

So I’ve had Danny Pink in my list until I find a Pir and Toothy

#

And tbh it’s been pretty disappointing

#

Idk why

#

Just don’t like it

solemn hamlet
#

Danny Pink is a house in my Marchesa deck

sullen agateBOT
#

Long May She Reign! :crown:

solemn hamlet
#

It's definitely slower in Bumble tho

pastel agate
#

Sure, he’s solid in Marchesa

sullen agateBOT
#

Long May She Reign! :crown:

sand island
#

Marchesa marchesa

sullen agateBOT
#

Long May She Reign! :crown:

pastel agate
#

But 4 mana and you gave to cast something after usually sucks

sand island
#

[[Danny Pink]] He just does counters stuff eh?

pastel agate
brave folioBOT
sand island
#

He seems like he'd be really good, hm

#

The cards with just the regular names from the Dr Who set make me laugh every time.

pastel agate
#

But also, idk

#

He doesn’t make brain chemical go

#

So I don’t like

sand island
#

That's valid

#

I just got the Kami of making mana, so I'm interested in how that'll go

pastel agate
#

Extremely well

#

Card’s one of the best in the deck

solemn hamlet
#

Quality

pastel agate
#

Hardened scales attached to “tap mana for power” effect is precisely what you want in bumble

sand island
#

Yeah for sure

pastel agate
#

Oh, by the by, I had two games where I got to untap a bounceland and an artifact with [[teferi slows sun]]

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Planeswalker — Teferi
+1: Choose up to one target artifact, up to one target creature, and up to one target land. Untap the chosen permanents you control. Tap the chosen permanents you don't control. You gain 2 life.
−2: Look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
−7: You get an emblem with "Untap all permanents you control during each opponent's untap step" and "You draw a card during each opponent's draw step."
Loyalty: 4

pastel agate
#

Very demure, very mindful

sand island
#

I sorta removed him to put in my mill stuff

#

Before he had a chance to hit the table, poor fella

#

He basically paid for himself at that point then eh? Or I guess only cost 1 mana

pastel agate
#

Bumblers

#

[[smuggler’s surprise]]

I only know it from an MTGGoldfish video where Seth used it to cheat out [[phyrexian obliterator]] as a blocker

brave folioBOT

[[heroic intervention]]

#

Yeah it's a good budget option with extra stuff if you need it

#

I like Spree cards

They’re really good in Muerra too

modest lion
# pastel agate [[smuggler’s surprise]]

You will almost always use it for the last mode, but have the options of the other modes. I love modal cards, and this one is great. I don't run it in Bumble, but I have it in my Kyler deck, I believe.

pastel agate
#

Ooh, that’d be really good for kyler

#

I’ll text my friend

modest lion
#

I'm a casual Bumbler, but a hardcore Kyler-er.

#

I think I cut that card just because all my creatures were low CMC, so the other modes weren't really helping me very much. But even just the last mode is a great fit.

pastel agate
#

True true

clear aspen
#

How do we feel about [[minn wily illusionist]]

brave folioBOT
#

Legendary Creature — Gnome Wizard
Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 1/1 blue Illusion creature token with "This token gets +1/+0 for each other Illusion you control."
Whenever an Illusion you control dies, you may put a permanent card with mana value less than or equal to that creature's power from your hand onto the battlefield.
1/3

clear aspen
#

Seems like it could be pretty good

modest lion
#

I've run it in my Bumble deck for a while, but honestly have only gotten to play it, like, once. I love the card, so I'm keeping it in, but I think it may end up being too slow / weak unless you're playing a lot of instants to draw on everyone's turns (I tend to, but not everyone here has the same deck build).

I built a Minn mono blue deck instead, and have been very happy. She's phenomenal.

pastel agate
#

Since she makes big beater illusions

clear aspen
#

Yea true. Better than homunculus horde imo.

pastel agate
#

Anyone messed with [[alandra sky dreamer]] yet?

brave folioBOT
clear aspen
#

Interresting. I never feel like I draw enough to make the second effect worth it but maybe some wheels would make that card real good

pastel agate
#

Wheels yeah, I suppose we really don’t draw 5 all that often huh

modest lion
#

I also feel like burning 4 mana makes it so hard for me to play the low cost instants on other turns in that cycle that I need to get the multiple card draws right away. But casting cost is my hangup with every deck I run, in general.

#

I might have put that card in my Minn deck. The mana curve on that one is weird, because of the replacement ability. I can't remember.

tall blaze
#

Dang just lost a game playing as Zimone because I milled myself out

sand island
#

Lab man time!

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

[[Aesi, Tyrant]]

brave folioBOT
pastel agate
#

Oof

modest lion
#

I was one card away from a Triska win before the token deck did some infinite shit. Only a 3 player game, so my normal "draw when they draw" stuff was hamstrung.

sand island
#

Yeah, bumble in 3 player games is sus

tribal temple
#

Any thoughts on [[Spike Weaver]] 👀

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

you could almost fog for eternity with it

pastel agate
#

Tbh the spikes in general are pretty solid

#

Could replace spore frog

tribal temple
#

I did! I was wondering if anyone else would notice XD

pastel agate
#

It was a cool card!

#

Spike feeder and spike weaver are both pretty deece

#

4 mana vs. 1 kinda sucks tho, for spore frog vs. fog spike

tribal temple
#

we cant loop spore frog easily though can we?

modest lion
#

I use the MH3 creature that recurs a card from the graveyard whenever you give it a +1 counter. That kind of stuff. But yes, another way to do it is always good.

#

It's a great card for that fog effect in this deck, for sure. I guess it would just depend on what your curve is already, whether it'd be worth the cost or not.

tribal temple
#

seems like everything in my bumble deck cost 4 mana lol

crystal quest
#

Makes me wonder about things like [[hamza]] or [[nylea keen eyed]] - if there’s a superdensity of 4+cmc creatures it might be valuable to get cost reduction

brave folioBOT
tribal temple
#

I think most of my 4MV cards are a mix and not mostly creatures

#

I also have been thinking that amount of draw cards, 9, being too many. I think I might swap them out for either brust draw or replace them with something else all together. Bumble draws so much on her own I feel like I only need like 6 or so draw

modest lion
tribal temple
#

yeah which luckily hasn't been a huge issue for me. But mid game you only want so many 4 drops because its hard to double spell with a 4 drop mid game. I run a lot of ramp in bumble to help with that

modest lion
#

Yeah, that's definitely the issue. I try to load the deck up with 1 cost instants (or thereabouts) so that I can still play a meaningful payoff (Trouble in Pairs, for example) and then have room to double spell when needed. Ramp can easily be a replacement / supplement for that strategy as well.

sand island
#

That's a pretty cool fog

#

I guess I'm pretty similar with 4 mv stuff

#

Just so many good 4mv things

#

Probably should be skewed lower tbh

sand island

Has Giggling Skitterspike been any good for you?
