Seriously, aside from maybe Jodah and Urza, this is the character I've been most waiting for to receive a card. Great abilities, great creature type, and they even put her in the right colors. I'm undeniably satisfied with this card.

Oh man, I loved the original Sleeper Agent and this one just adds more pepper to the pot.
Nice political backside, good stats, good flavour, another win here for Wizards.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I wonder, would adding "and can't be sacrificed" (in the vein of Assault Suit) would be too much for this card?
Other than that little detail (that might be odd only to me), I am really enjoying this card

What's the most resilient parasite? An idea.
A single idea from the human mind can build cities.
An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules...
Xantcha is one of my favorite characters from the original storyline and I feel like this card absolutely does her character justice. The design is just brilliant and perfect for a political format like EDH.
BTW, thanks @MarquisD for mirroring the image on imgur, imgur is blocked at work so I couldn't upload it there myself.

I agree, I don't really care for planeswalker commanders so I was hoping for a creature that would interact with lands, but these will be the only new legendaries in this deck right?

This is very, very sweet. Never realized they never did an actual card for her. I bet they went through a BIG-BIG review of ALL the storyline legends missing cards as part of the planning for Dominaria.
I can't wait to see (literally) every other pre-Apocalypse/"Weatherlight Era" legend in card form over the coming months. They will find a way to do them ALL before it's over.

I expect one more. Saheeli had 4. 1 PW, 2 alternate creatures, and 1 legend missing one color from the commanders identity.
Assuming all the other decks are the samen we should get 1 more Jund legendary.

Generally speaking there are at least three new legends per deck. Yesterday we did get 4 legends though in that we got the UR planeswalker, 2 UR legends, and a mono R legend.
If they stick to the same sort of cycle we might get one more legend but I am not sure what kind of cycles they are doing yet as we don't really have a pattern yet. Given that there are only 4 decks its possible that one of the decks will have a 2 colored legend instead of a mono.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I agree, I don't really care for planeswalker commanders so I was hoping for a creature that would interact with lands, but these will be the only new legendaries in this deck right?
Gavin's article said there would be an extra legendary creature that couldn't head up the deck in each one, e.g. Varchild. This is that one for the Jund deck. There's still one more Jund legendary to be revealed.

I believe Xantcha will be the Varchild of this deck. With that logic we should have one more full Jund commander coming, and if it's anything like Tawnos and Brudiclad, the unrevealed one will have better synergies with lands.
I mean you're giving your opponent a 5/5, and three mana is a non-zero amount, plus even the player who controls Xantcha can activate the ability. Also I've never played legacy so I don't know.
I love the car design, but I got to say it doesn't fit her character. She absolutely attacked phyrexian, and helped rather than hurt Urza.

If you have access to infinite mana, you just play this, then kill the player lol.
That's kinda hilarious.
