Minds Unbound is begging to be broken, but that's pretty hard to accomplish with a 6 CMC enchantment that doesn't do anything the turn it comes into play(and no real way to cheat it into play earlier in Standard). I'm sure it will see tons of EDH play.
All of these cards(except the white one, which is just confusing and odd) seem like they were made for EDH.
Yes, I hate rares that ruin limited but are completely useless for constructed.
Mind Unbound is useless in every non-casual constructed format (and not even very good in limited) and they should stop printing so many rares like that. Some of us want to open cards we can actually play in a real format or trade.
I'm not sure where you're getting the impression this is an edh card. Like I said, in edh, you have to wait through multiple upkeeps for this to trigger, while in standard, there's only 1 between each trigger. You want cards that scale with players, not your turns. furthermore, edh is the format with the most enchantment hate. Paying 6 mana for this seems like a waste when it seems far more likely that recurring insight, for example, would draw many more cards.
Personal Sanctuary seems hilarious with Armageddon Clock plus a ton of stall effects and Proliferate. "Why, yes... there ARE forty counters on Armageddon Clock. Oh, right, that kills you... how clumsy of me!"
Personal Sanctuary seems to be an ok side board card against Valakut and Splinter. It might be an exceptionally solid SB against vampires and RDW. It stops creature damage which is very annoying to play around for colors light on ways to deal with enchantments. Leyline only stopped direct damage.
I don't understand how it hoses those stratagies. It only prevents damage on your turn.

Limited is as popular or more popular than standard at this point I believe.
Limited is a 1-time thing. Printing crap cards like Carnifax Demon that are worth like 50 cents and useless in constructed, but ruin limited games accomplishes what exactly?

The card is completely useless against Splinter Twin, did you read it properly? It stops damage to you on YOUR turn, not your opponent's. Do you've any idea how broken it would be if it stopped all damage to you on your opponent's turn? It would be literally gg against any black or red based aggro deck.
Mind Unbound...another stupid EDH rare that will never see constructed play.

Not really sure why people are loving the Buried Ruin - seems pretty mediocre for EDH (Academy Ruins is good because it's a repeatable ability) and I can't imagine it being especially useful in standard (unless maybe Tezzerator becomes a thing...?)
The blue enchantment is cute - seems like it'll get gunned down quickly, but only because it deserves/needs to be. Proliferate seems especially cute there. ;D
The white enchantment seems unimportant right now. I wouldn't mind it in an environment riddled with Manabarbs, Ankh of Mishra, etc. though.
Personal Sanctuary looks amazing for some reason, I feel like somebody will break it.
First thing that comes to mind is fetches and any painland drawbacks are completely negated.
While silly, Force of nature is a beast with it out. You don't have to worry about take a bunch of damage each turn by not paying it's cost.
For casual fun, Heartless Hidetsgu basically says each opponent loses half their life.
I'm sure there's much more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
Because everything revolves around constructed!
T2 gets an Illusion Lord, Skinshifter, that Illusion Clone, Lavamancer and even gets to keep the Titan cycle. There is NO reason to complain.
Illusion lord and the illusion clone are too fragile to do anything in constructed, Skinshifter is horrible and will never see constructed play. Most tournament players don't care about stupid 1/1's that give you no value and if you try to do change him they will just kill him in response for extra value. Grim Lavamancer is the bomb but in today's environment its possible that its too slow to do anything. We won't say anything more about titans. So out of all those you just mentioned, its possible the only playable constructed cards there will be is.....the titans. Yeehaw...

You'll still lose life to fetch lands. (Damage causes loss of life, not the other way around.) Painlands will not hurt you as long as it's your turn. Takes me back to the days of Solitary Confinement. You don't have to pitch any cards and Form of Dragon won't hurt you if your life total is higher than 5. I'm half tempted to rework Enduring Renewal for Legacy.

The satchel is a nice limited card. If it doesn't gain you life, then it's good. The other options give you card advantage or deck thinning/land ramp, both of which are good and repeatable.

deck just became even more consistant.
Fetchlands become better.
Read the card, this does not stop LIFE LOSS. You will still lose life from fetches and Ad Nauseum...

We can pretty much assume that they're going to reprint the coreset dual lands, or possibly enemy colored variants of it. I would agree that an enchantment recurring variant would be absolutely bonkers and i hope that it's one of the 6 land slots..
I think what you do with Druidic satchel is just play no creature cards. 2 a coiling oracle effect every single turn is pretty solid. The saprolings don't thrill me, but whatever.
