First on the previews is the BR Planar Portal deck, led by Prosper, Tome-Bound and this Beholder. The extra legendary is Farideh, Devil's Chosen's patron. The deck is heavy on casting from exile and theft effects. Decklist is here.
The Ebony Fly seems pretty useful. Price is comparable to mind stone. While it ETBs tapped and cannot be used for immediate value late in the game. Getting a flying creature that gives another creature flying seems like a decent alternative to just "draw a card" for some decks.
I'm actually a big fan of Karazikar and Lorcan in the 99 of some recent decks I've built (Kardur and Ayara). I've got a deck that can use Fiendlash, too.
Hellish Rebuke and Hurl through Hell both seem like useful spells.
Ebony Fly is almost exactly a Guardian Idol but outright better 83% of the time. Even when it's a 1/1, it's evasive and grants evasion. Every deck that wants flying on a single creature should consider this card.
Edit: Oh wait, it costs 4 to animate. Still pretty impressive.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.
I for one appreciate that there are only 4 ETB tapped lands in this precon, one of which is always justified bojuka bog. Combining that with the fly, stone, talisman, and signet, this deck has a legitimately okay mana base by the standards of commander precons.
I assume they wanted to stifle any kind of smartassery like "I put the card at the bottom of your library because that is definitely under the top X cards. Prove me wrong."
Zabimaru... ehh Fiendlash could make a nice win con for Marath - just throw it onto something big and ping away (but remember to remove his Basilisk Collar first )
Bucknard's Everfull Purse seems like an improvement on Tempting Contract, albeit not much of one on a pretty low power concept. The smart move is still usually to just not use it, but at least there's enough temptation to get someone who's desperate.

Disrupt Decorum $17 (I’m still clueless to this day why this card is not being played that much.)
Other cards
"Our comrade of many an adventure has sadly been felled. ... What did he drop?"
Also, who else is super disappointed that Planar Portal itself wasn't included in the deck? Maybe too cheeky an include I guess.
W(W/U)U Ephara - Flash & Taxes W(W/U)U || B(B/G)G Meren - Circle of Life B(B/G)G
RGW Marath - Ever shifting Wilds RGW || (U/R)C(W/B) Breya - Artificial Dominion (U/R)C(W/B)
UBR Becket Brass - take what you can, give nothing back UBR
also soo much d4,6,8,10,12,20. Bag of Devouring, fiendlash and Death Tyrant looks like good cards the rest are fun cards tho.
My instinct is “yes,” but I’m not sure.
