One of the most intriguing new mechanics in Midnight Hunt is the Decayed zombie tokens that feel omnipresent in Blue and Black. Also, Decayed Zombie tokens can be great enablers for Coven, so don't be too quick to send in your Zombies for just a couple points of damage when you risk losing Coven! Speaking of Zombies, I feel another tip coming up! Tip #3: Decayed Tokens have Many Uses Most creatures have 2 or 3 power, so getting those rare ones makes a difference. Each Coven card becomes a challenge to assemble a three card combo (three creatures with different powers), and the results can be incredible!įor example, one of my favorite synergies involves Might of the Old Ways and Duel for Dominance, as their instant speed nature can make the combat math completely flip on your opponent! Another thing to look for is good enablers like Clarion Cathars (which gets you 2/3 of the way to Coven all by itself) and Timberland Guide (which helps you diversify powers), or creatures with uncommon powers like Gavony Trapper. However, the extra effort is worth it because Coven cards can become real powerhouses. Regardless, there are tons of ways to make your cards work together in this set, so try to build a cohesive deck while you are drafting and be on the lookout for mini-combos and synergy! Tip #2: Coven is Tricky, but Worth ItĬoven is one of those mechanics that looks really simple on its surface but is actually hard to trigger without some work. Maybe that goal can be to assemble a hoard of Zombies and use them to your advantage, maybe you want the game to go long so you can grind out value from your graveyard, or maybe you want to sling tons of spells to power up your cards! If you constantly feel like your decks are outmatched, try to make sure you have a cohesive gameplan and that all of your cards are working towards the same goal. Luckily, that is less true in Midnight Hunt, where powerful synergies can overcome generically good removal and creatures. The cards tended to just do their thing, and it was hard to build a deck that felt greater than the sum of its parts. In Forgotten Realms draft the synergy was not super high in general, and strong rates ruled the day. A fresh Limited format can often feel overwhelming and tough to decipher, so in this article I'm going to be giving you five tips to get you pointed in the right direction! After reading I hope you'll feel more comfortable on Innistrad so you can start enjoying all the goodness and fun it has to offer! Tip #1: Synergy is Back Werewolves are on the prowl and Zombie roam the lands because Innistrad has returned once more in glorious fashion! Drafting Midnight Hunt has been a ton of fun so far, but I'm seeing a lot of comments from folks saying they are struggling to get wins in the new environment.
