(If Infinity can exceed a limit... We are that limit...)


Kruphix, One who X-costs Infinity itself...

SCORE: 1 | 3 COMMENTS | 76 VIEWS


After canning my Ezuri, Claw of Progress deck, I decided to do a Take 2 on the othe Simic CMDR I wanted to make: Kruphix, God of Horizons . Last time, I was aiming to make an -cost Deck utilizing Infinite mana. With stuff that can make infinite amounts of this, & Infinite Card Draw, etc, I now leave it to you again to decide a Primordial's fate...

  1. Many say not all X-Cost cards are created equal. I actually agree on this. What X costs do you think is worth chopping? What to replace?

  2. Many infinite combos are all over; ranging to various Infinite Mana & Infinite Land Untaps, to Endless Draw, & other crazy schnanigans. What to keep, improve upon, or kill?

  3. I love Mana Doublers here. Mana Reflection , Doubling Cube , Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger ... Are there any others of note to put here?

  4. Is Rashmi, Eternities Crafter even worth adding? the cEDH community stated it can interract w/ exiled cards. How though, & is it worth it?

  5. Any misc. other cards worth replacing? Just asking to be sure.

  6. This deck is in mid-level power, even though the last time I did this, it was nearly 100% Competitiveness. How should I get back to that very calibur of power? & how's the Competitive Meter system doing? Has it been even worked on since last time I did Kruphix?

Well, thanks for the help thus far. Can't believe I'm getting close enough to doing a Sliver Tribe Deck; just a couple more though...

It's ironic I have standards w/ Morophon, the Boundless . Maybe I should place it somewhere else; I mean it's technically 5c; better make use w/ the whole damn Pie. That said, I'm still grinding out on what I still have to make though here. & yes, I'm making that Vorthos Deck after nobody was able to notice that simple thing. & I'm going to upgrade myself for damn sure. When all depends of how well my dad's car will be fixed (Hey, family is important too! Don't be a fool & have all the audacity to oppose them.) As for Morophon, I'll keep these rules in this post in case one still cares; you might as well do what you intended to do in the first place anyways:

  1. Popular tribes I will always say no to.

  2. If any Creature Type is missing even one color of the pie, it's out.

  3. Tribe Leaders for already existing 5c tribes means those tribes are out also.

  4. Eldrazi = (省略) OMITTED. The Tribe must have a good balance of all five colors, & one Eldrazi is meaningless.

  5. Be original! Think of a tribe that is underrated, & is good!

  6. Secondary Types are allowed, but remember to use a right balance of creatures of such design; this is why JoshLeeKwai was the first out in GameKnights Ep 27.

These are the regulations. I will except no exceptions to any of the 6 Tables of Morophon, Tribe Evaluator

But, for now, I still need help w/ Kruphix, & I'm working on both my Superfriends/Avengers, & cEDH Boros Deck as well; maybe I'll resume making my Pauper Deck if anyone wants to help its status to Turn 2 Wins. If anyone wants to help me out on that...

Especially for Kruphix, I'm trying to find pieces for a combo involving Ashnod's Altar for infinite ; though I guess cutting some things is also good, but I also have a mission from Kamigawa's Kami's as I advertently got myself into a mess where my infatuation towards a mere Gauge maybe my downfall. Thanks. Mono-. X/

That said, nobody's been helping me out on my Kruphix Infinite deck. Questions are in order.

  1. What X-Effects & other cards aren't pulling their weight?

  2. What cards could also do good here?

  3. Some combos here are awesome, but aside from the WIP Ashnod's Altar combo, what other combos would you suggest? I'm literally searching actual Simic Combos as a desperate tactic...

Well, that's all I'm doing for now. I'll do my own thing, & update other things in the meanwhile... Later.

BUMPABUMPABUMPABUMP; & I'M RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS...

No, really.

@bushido_man96: I dunno about you, but I'm still guessing what to remove; & yet, I draw a blank from hereon. Any ideas you can think of from here? I'm literally close to converting this deck to sheer amounts of Card Draw w/ little of what I initially intended in the first place. XL

Any ideas for cuts from you?

@bushido_man96: BUMPOMATIC!

Added Four More ideas for cuts, & even added Psychosis Crawler as another Card Draw Based Killer; backed up that it gets stronger for those reasons.

Not sure about you, but do you have any ideas for cuts? Just asking; & I'm running low on ideas...

@bushido_man96: Chopped; alongside the fact that I'm back to 10 cuts remaining to 100 cards. Still on Square -1. What to look for in the case of cuts... Should I cut any cards? What else would you suggest? I suppose Finale of Devastation seems to not fit this "Card Draw" theme you recommend...?

July 15, 2019 11:48 a.m.

bushido_man96 says... #5

Finale of Devastation is interesting. I don't think the tutor side of it does much for you, as many of your creatures are X-costed, and so am not sure how it works for you. The other portion, though, providing another Overrun effect, is quite good. You'll have to play it and see.

@bushido_man96: BUMPING THOSE GREMLINS!

Just have 5 more cuts left before I see the project as compleat. But to get there, I have some other ideas for cuts first. What are your thoughts on any of them? Are they cut worthy, or not?

July 18, 2019 12:22 p.m.

bushido_man96 says... #7

They look like good cuts to me.

@bushido_man96: Just added one more card, for a total of 6 left to cut. Commence the Endgame looks awesome here; Can't be countered, Draws you some, & can potentially Amass a HUGE Zombie Army Token. I wish I could find a Good Grixis Commander w/ the traits I am looking for; which, shockingly, neither Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge nor even Kess, Dissident Mage have. & Mishra, Artificer Prodigy just sucks... X^X

Alright. 4 More potential cuts: Mind Stone , Sturmgeist , Aeon Chronicler & a 3rd Handsize Matters creature. This is it. Whateven I can manage to cut here, I'll offer a suggestion for stuff that does deserve Garruk's Deathblow Chop to the point of getting to the Promised Land of 100 Cards. Also, as for Finale of Devastation I'll just ask: does it also apply to stuff w/ Variable Power and/or Toughness? In this case, Hands Matter Stat Creatures. If not, I guess it's okay to cut? I'm just wondering from you, bushido_man96...

I BUMP SO NOBODY CAN CHANGE THEIR MENTAL STRUCTURE.

@bushido_man96: I don't... suppose you could check the maybeboard for this deck to see if these 4 cards are cut worthy? I'm literally nearing the Promised Land for this deck; & I WON'T stop trekking no matter what; even if you think none of the 4/6 cuts for this deck are valid. If none are good enough, maybe you have 6 ideas for cuts for this deck? I'm Curious about this notion... You in agreeance?

HOW FAR UP ONE'S BUMP CAN AN INFANTILE DEMAND DORITOs?

(It was just a messed up ad; super-premature birth, the Parents screaming at their child after (s)he demanded a Dorito, while still having a cord. DX)

@bushido_man96: I guess you give up on helping as well? I'm just asking to be sure; that, & I saw READY PLAYER ONE for the first time; & it was incredible. It's more than just Nostalgia Paradise. It, was a MASTERPIECE... Should I handle the last 6 cuts myself? I haven't heard in awhile, so I'd really like a response after all this, please.

bushido_man96 says... #12

Hey, been busy. Don't wait on me to make cuts. I'll always help where I can, but even I run out of ideas at times.

Yes, Ready Player One is a fantastic movie; I wonder about the book. I typically enjoy books more than movies, but the eye candy in the movie was just so awesome. But, I also wonder what the movie was missing, as the studio that filmed it would be somewhat limited in using what they had the rights to.

As for the cuts, yes, they look good to me. You've got plenty of ramp, so you won't miss Mind Stone . Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer doesn't seem to fit, so no loss there. And the others, well, if something's go to go, then they have to go.

@bushido_man96: Well, if I was able to make a Concept Deck with a theme of "Exile Matters", Very well then. Thank you for the help. It's really sad when you know someone who's only familiar w/ Cinema/Television/Anime Sources; & not their Literature of origin. & gives the latter no chance as a Minority. People like me. :/

But, yeah. I suppose this is my war now. Thank you for all you could. I truly appreciate it. :)
