Midnight Hunt Cube Review, pt. 1

[@rovo4261]

I’ve been waiting for this one! Currently putting together an Innistrad cube from across all three blocks and Midnight Hunt improves the werewolves deck big time along with some others

[@CulticCube]

Nice! Are you going to rationalize the werewolf flips or just go with the parallel models?

[@auroralee]

I've been doing the same actually! Now with Crimson Vow too, it's really coming together as a fantastic spooky cube.

[@Humatra]

Thanks for the video. I like how you read every card so I can listen at work when I'm picking up the trash.

[@CulticCube]

Oh good, I'm glad that's working for you. I figure people are likely to listen to these reviews more than watch them - they're pretty light on video content, after all. As you may know, I have a podcast called Chateau Cube, which is mainly an interview format, but I've been releasing these set reviews there as well. Thanks for the feedback!

9:41 you wont be SHOCKED to learn play with fire puns all around ;)

[@johnathan9443]

Thanks for the great content! I don't think the deck building constraint for coven is particularly strange. It's basically just paying you off for curving out with on rate creatures. Still not a great mechanic, but I've been finding that it just happens incidentally in draft.

[@franciscobc84]

Yeah, at least in draft it ends up being way easier to activate than I anticipated. Of course, the set is kinda designed around the mechanic, but I still think in Cube coven isn't going to be so hard to get on creature-based decks. As you said, it's not great, but it's like a nice bonus that you'll get from time to time.

[@kewlkid4845]

Great vid! But no thoughts on these 3. Cathar commando, sungold sentinel and graveyard trespasser?

[@CulticCube]

Thanks for the kind words and for pointing out some cards that caught your eye! Oh my gosh, Cathar Commando I definitely should have discussed, thanks. That's a real card. Sungold Sentinel and Graveyard Trespasser are maybe ok if you badly want to hate on the 'yard, but I don't super love crippling the reanimator deck in that way. And re: Sentinel, as I discuss in the video, I'm down on Coven, particularly in the environment that I discuss here, which buys heavily into sweepers and creature interaction.

@@CulticCube thanks for the reply!! Keep up your awesome content :)

I'm testing Slogurk the Overslime 1GU Legendary Creature - Ooze Trample Whenever a land card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, put a +1/+1 counter on Slogurk, the Overslime. Remove three +1/+1 counters from Slogurk: Return it to its owner’s hand. When Slogurk leaves the battlefield, return up to three target land cards from your graveyard to your hand. 3/3 My cube has 3x fetchlands and strip mine/wasteland shenanigans, so I think it's worth and I really hope it does make the cut.

[@CulticCube]

Sweet! Are you running W&6? W&7?

[@250Z]

@@CulticCube Of course I have W6, W7 was on my watchlist but I think it's weaker than Nissa, Vital force, which is the only 5 mana green PW that is competing with it.

Faithful mending is the exact opposite of faithless looting in the name lol. Makes sense

[@CulticCube]

Hahaha, I hadn't recognized that symmetry. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@franciscobc84]

I was looking forward to this! Quite a few cards I want to test on my Cube as well. Regarding Adeline, one very important aspect is that she creates a token whenever you attack, not when she herself attacks, unlike Brimaz. So, on an aggro deck she'll almost always generate an attacking token on the same turn she comes out.

[@CulticCube]

That's a great point, and one which I should have mentioned. I also should have pointed out that she doesn't spawn a token on blocks.

[@The_Loreseeker]

Eyyy, more cube goodness!

[@januszo.2180]

These tokens are sweet. I'm going to buy at least 8. Any returning client deals? :D it would be awesome to have whole cube with those

[@CulticCube]

Thank you! I do in fact have Etsy set up to send people a coupon after their first order. But I think I have your email, Janusz, and I'll get in touch about orders.

[@januszo.2180]

@@CulticCube thanks! That would be awesome!!!

[@parttimecomix]

I don’t know how many cards will end up in cube from this sad but it snuck up on me as a set that I am super into for a lot of the card designs and the aesthetics

[@januszo.2180]

I'm not fan of adding daybound. The rest: agree

[@joshwoodcock3656]

Th8s set is fantastic for cube.
