THB foils were so cheap that I was able to actually buy every single foil on my add list on the first go. That was pretty sweet. Unfortunately for me, I tend to put off ordering my cube updates until the foils are available on TCG Direct, and that was about a month or so ago. We've not gotten to cube with the new cards really at all due to the current shelter in place predicament.
Uro has enough buzz around it now, that I'm probably gonna try to pick one up. Other than that, I opened the new Elspeth at prerelease, so we got a couple cubes in with her and she was ultimately fine. Not quite a staple, but we weren't unhappy with her. Buying back a planeswalker turns out to be pretty good.
Well, full spoiler is up and this is probably one of the more disappointing sets from a cube standpoint. Unfortunately, the enchantment and devotion synergies just don't line up with what typical cubes are trying to support. With that said, though, there are certainly some interesting and unique cards that probably deserve at least some testing even if there are no slam dunk 360 staples.
There's still 100 cards to go, so things could certainly get better next week, but right now, this set's not looking too impressive for cube. Don't get me wrong. I think this set looks like a welcome relief from the last standard we had and I can't wait to dive into a new limited format. For cube, though, I'm on actual nothing I want to include in my 555 powered list. The Kraken and Elspeth are both interesting, and might make the cut in my low power list, but unless they're sleepers that turn out to be super underestimated, they probably won't make the leap over to my powered cube. Chainweb Aracnir looks pretty sweet for peasant cubes, but I think that's the only card I've read so far that I've immediately thought about including in a cube.
