Yeah, Herald of Torment is the only card I'm looking at. Maybe the Lion King, but he's just so dull.
I'd like to find a way to make Chromanticore work, though. We're close to the point where Replenish is a viable card.

Poor Auras. They finally made you good, but now you're too expensive to be good.
I had this guy pegged at B, bestow BB1 and uncommon. Jesus.

Hunter's Prowess sort of fits into the same spot as Overrun, Revenge of the Hunted, etc. Those cards aren't particularly highly drafted, but sometimes a deck want them. You really don't need redundancy in these kinds of cards.
And when they want something like that, I think I'd prefer the card to kill the opponent then draw some cards.

So far I like the following cards:
Hero of Iroas
Spirit of the Labyrinth
Herald of Torment
Hero of Leina Tower
Ephara, God of the Polis
Kiora's Follower
I am interested in, but might not actually like
Mogis, God of Slaughter
Kiora, the Crashing Wave
Spiteful Returned
Bile Blight
Archtype of Courage

Yeah, Revenge of the Hunted came to mind for me too when I saw Hunter's Prowess. While they do pretty different things, they fill more or less the same slot in your deck, and you can't run more than one or two of these cards. I'll probably continue to use Revenge because the surprise mode packs a punch without requiring much of any setup.
I plan on testing Kiora, Fanatic of Xenagos, and Brimaz but I think Brimaz is actually TOO good for cube.

Well, Brimaz is just a beater that provides a disturbing amount of value without synergy (but still worsks well with typically cubed effects) to the point where he is better then a lot of his competitors even when they get their synergy who also requires zero thought to play. Whether or not he's too good is up in the air, but clearly he pushes a lot of cards into "feelbad runner-up" territory for very little benefit.

Big spoiler dump guys:
Maybe. Probably not, but I'm hoping. I so wanted War Falcon to work, maybe this is easier?
Artifact token? Cool.
Probably not better than sever the bloodline, but cool.
BUHAHAHAHA I LOVE IT SO MUCH
You know what maybe
Damn girl, dat toughness! it doesn't let you play extra lands like oracle of mul daya, but the life is real and the body is real and the cards are real and I think this is real guys?
Finally a devotion card I like
I'm purposely not adding this and keeping my second rancor because if this gets too big.

This made me actually laugh out loud. The text is so ridiculous.

What's that, you're a much needed green 3-drop that makes two lifegain triggers off of a fetchland? Did you make this card for my cube Wizards???????????????????????
Dom Harvey

well, kinda 1 lifegain trigger off a fetchland, but yeah

Two triggers for Pridemate. Net of one life, but... two triggers.
maybe they did make it for you
I've been looking for a playable Oracle of Mul Daya variant for a loooong time. I'm pretty sure if you dig far enough you can find posts with me grousing that I wish the card cost 3. Works with triple Brainstorm too. This card is so sweet. I am happy happy happy. Favorite card of the set no question.

Marshmist Titan
Creature - Giant
Marshmist Titan costs X less to cast, where X is your devotion to black.
A favorite of Erebos, for it has sent many to the Underworld.

4/5
Devotion Pod lives!
