Odd that two clans have synergy with old and new mechanics, one is sort of neutral, and two have very little synergy. Wonder if this is just how it happened or has flavor reasons.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.

Do they though? Bolster synergizes pretty directly, so does rebound, so does exploit, and so does dash. Dash competes for resources due to having to cast it every turn, but the only one that maybe doesn't have synergy is formidable, but at least it feels connected.
Every set that comes out, I wish they would calm down with all the keywording. I like that they brought Redound back, but what's with Megamorph? Why not just keep Morph and add the +1/+1 counter thing to the creatures text?
Sooo...new Sidisi + Conspiracy + Oathkeeper, Takeno's Daisho creates an infinite loop where you can add your entire deck to your hand. Probably way too cute even for EDH, but it's still a thing.

Bolster and Outlast doesn't really change what gets bolstered does it? Dash and Raid are at odds.

Can anyone tell me what´s so good about Rebound? You still pay the mana for it anyway, only difference is that you cast it next turn for the mana you spent last turn

It doesn't change what gets bolstered (unless you're super careful), but it still plays into the "give things to guys with counters shtick that Abzan had, and Dash and Raid aren't at odds except from a resource management perspective. Dashing ensures that something attacks for raid (in theory). It doesn't play *amazingly* well together, maybe, but the theoretical synergy is there.

You pay the mana up front. The second cast is free. It's more expensive than you would pay for just the up-front cost, but generally less than you'd pay for double the effect. Also, depending on the effect, spreading it out over 2 turns can be nice.
The art for Narset has pretty much convinced me that she is Sultai now -- she swapped places with Taigam.
Oh man, that would suck so much...
I can see where you're coming from, though, the gold part of her outfit is similar to Taigam's. However, she is wearing blue and white (as opposed to purple and green) and is striking a monk pose, so that gives me hope.

See, this is why I should ask my boss to stop giving me night shifts; it's starting to interfere with my cognitive thinking skills.
(although at that point I only need to exploit once for Exsanguinate or something...)

It gets cast the turn you cast it, and then it gets cast again at the start of your next turn. Two spells in one card.

As much as I want her to be UW, there are strands of red woven into her scarfs...she may be Jeskai colored...

I thought so, too, but who else would that be? Looks way to similar to Narset to not be her.

Generally less than tcg mid.

The set started off with a good bang. Let us hope it can keep the up pace and that this was not the best the set had.
See, this is why I should ask my boss to stop giving me night shifts; it's starting to interfere with my cognitive thinking skills.
Although it's an easy enough fix: Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth.
