As the proud owner of a Prime Speaker Zegana Eldrazi deck, I have one thing to say:

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras. Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power. Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza. Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall. Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana. Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die. Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
I think Kruphix's Insight was the first Uncharted Realms story I read, and it's still one of my favorites. Whether or not I end up getting the chaos deck, I feel like I've got to get a copy of Kydele, just on principle.
Also, she plays rather well with Glint-Eye Nephilim, which had seemed like the Nephilim that was the weakest fit for its deck's theme (Yore-Tiller doesn't do much with artifacts, but it does play well with Silas Renn). Seems like another point in favor of them being included in these decks.

The Zedruu reprint is kinda glaring to me. We're already getting a 4c legend, an allied legend, and two enemy legends in each deck. Is Zedruu a one-off, or are we getting MORE legends in each deck?
You can just partner with a black general just to splash black to get access to Notion Thief and Leovold, Emissary of Trest and just run a bunch of wheels.
Correct me if I mess her origin up, but she is from one of the last stories on Theros, after Elspeth's death. Kruphix tells her of the much greater dangers in the multiverse, like Nicol Bolas, the Eldrazi, and Phyrexians, and how any one of these threats would completely destroy the Gods and Theros. This is her after Kruphix tells her the truth at the temple of mystery.

Yup! That is what I was thinking. Rather mean.. you get basically all the draw effects and Leo will screw them out of it.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.

Even more mean, you could partner with a BR legend and also get access to red wheel effects like Wheel of Fortune.
If you opt to run her with a white partner, you can protect her better with effects like Mother of Runes. All I know is Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix seems really really strong. Maybe broken/unfun.

Correct. In fact, she watched Elspeth and Ajani enter Nyx from his temple, watched her get murdered by Heliod, spent months looking down into Nyx from the edge of the world, and even saw the gods get threaded into the constellations by Kruphix during the Silence. Other than Krphix himself, Kydele is perhaps the most aware being in all of Theros, more alert to many mysteries than even some gods, who only just learned what a PW was. In fact, I'd argue Kydele is one of the most knowledgeable beings in the Multiverse, as even some Planeswalkers don't know about Bolas, or the Eldrazi. But she knows about many things out there by virtue of being the oracle of THE god of mysteries who can read Planeswalker minds.
I think someone at wizards has 50,000 Teferi's Puzzle box in storage and just keeps printing things until it becomes a $20 card.
Anyway it is a simic general that gives mana and draws cards. Not exactly winning awards for originality, but the Partner generals seem to be about what they do with someone else, not what they do on their own.

The Commander decks have traditionally had at least one reprinted legend in each deck, occasionally more.

ALSO, Zedruu the Greathearted reprint!

EDIT: Also, the Zedruu reprint makes sense and I should've expected it considering there's a full-blown grouphug deck among the precons.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
WOTC is paying attention.
I seriously could not be more pleased right now. Very impressed. And Prophet of Kruphix stats!

Is that Teferi's Puzzle Box I'm smelling?

Brainstorm, Sylvan Library, Frantic Search, Careful Study, these are just a few that come to mind. Remember this is in addition to your draw step. It's colorless mana, but it's still a lot of mana.
What else has good synergy with her?

Yes. Yes. Yes!
1. Play Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix.
2. Following turn play Diminishing Returns/Time Spiral.
3 .Tap Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix to add 8 to your mana pool.
4. Play some ridiculous colorless bomb you just refilled your hand with.

Here's to hoping either one of the two WB partners is apt enough to make my 4-color team.
