You could run it as your only card referencing day/night if you wanted the repeatable filtering effect, but I find the tracking really annoying. Would work fine though, follow up with an instant the next turn and you flip to night, then two spells T4 to flip to day, etc. etc. It can really crank out the card filtering in the right shell.
i’m gonna run day/night like crazy on my arena cube and just not even touch it on paper. i think the effect is very fun IF arena tracks it for me, if not… “magic is hard enough without this” as i like to say

No keep going, that's allowed
This is one of the reasons why the mechanic sucks so much. Not many people get it when they first look at it. And the best explanation is on the token.
If you have a hand full of lands, then you’re not casting any spells. If you’re not casting any spells, it doesn’t turn from night to day but from day to night.
2/10 mechanic
The original Werewolf mechanic that was written on the cards and didn’t REQUIRE a token was superior in my opinion.
I want to, but first I need enough cards to "dive" into. I think there's five of them so far I want to play, which is starting to approach being sufficient, but I would ideally want some that aren't red or white (since the blue one isn't good enough). The mana rock is maybe worth it.
edit: I unironically hate the mechanic from a design standpoint though and wouldn't consider it if it didn't play into my overarching themes so well.
Isn't the value that you turn it sideways and deal 6 damage in the air?
Yep! I expect the people to praise this set mostly do it because the cards already overlap their cube quite a lot. Because it’s not a masterpiece except for the stats are powerful.
Edit: I promise I won’t complain again about this set.

I thought Witherbloom was supposed to be black/green?
i don’t think it is good. but it’s cheap and does SOMETHING in an attacking deck, so maybe it’s OK in retail?
Seems like a pretty fine tempo play? Gets rid of 2 blockers if you cast it back to back over 2 turns right
It's alright. Not the most exciting inclusion in a gold slot, but if you have a counters theme, a UG tempo deck, or some combination of that (maybe with some "GY" sprinkled in) it seems fine enough.
Withdrawn then

I don't know what this source has been smoking, but they're wrong if they imply that nothing but the day/night mechanic can transform daybound/nightbound cards. There's just not a lot of things that can transform other cards. One thing to note is that daybound/nightbound permanents enter the battlefield on the nightbound side if it's night, so a flicker effect (like Flicker) will not reset them to the front side (which is the daybound side) as is usual for DFC's, because of the extra rules of daybound/nightbound. However, playing Moonmist will transform daybound humans like Hound Tamer to their nightbound side just fine, for example.
Edit: Apparently I am wrong, according to WotC themselves.

"This source" is WotC's official mechanics article for Midnight Hunt.
EDIT: But yeah, your post perfectly encapsulates why this is so damn annoying.

What! That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! What have they been smoking!?
