I've always wanted to play something like Rafiq or Xenagod but I'm so devoted to black I never have. Saskia seems like a great way to play aggro in a format where aggro usually isn't great. Especially in 3 player.
Yawg-wizard withstanding. I mean, that's getting close to combat-only Ancestral. Even if you have ZERO creatures and an opponent chumps another opponent's mere ONE creature you have instant-speed Draw 2 for 2 mana, in GREEN. That's nutty, and not even getting into the untappy shenanigans. Card is bonkers. Imagine it in tokens decks.
I'm pretty excited about Ancient Excavation. It'll be great in reanimator and other graveyard-based strategies. I know I'll be testing it right away in Dralnu, Lich Lord.
From the release notes on Ancient Excavation:
"The number of cards drawn this way might not be equal to the number of cards in your hand (for example, if you apply Necroplasm’s dredge ability instead of drawing one of those cards). The number of cards that you actually drew is what determines how many cards you discard."
I think...I could put it into any deck with great effect. Mono-colored grabs another basic for color doublers, it's a great first turn play with a filter or pain, works with Rings of B to thin the deck, helps you recover your colors after MLD...I'm smitten with this dinky little land.

Format Staple, to me.
Keep in mind that your opponent can simply decline to block and deny you the draws, but otherwise I agree with you. The card is really great and currently being overlooked.

Ash Barrens is the only new card I'd put into any of my current decks. I'd imagine it would be a staple of sorts for multi-colored decks with a decent amount of basic land. The rest are kinda cute but not something I'd take cards out of my deck for.
Might want to try making something out of Stalwart Unity just for laughs.
Well Benefactor's Draught is indeed fantastic. I was kinda hoping they would of included more older and interesting stuff instead of Tauran Mauler for the 4th time.

Really, you don't have a deck that could benefit from a second Yawgmoth's Will?

I don't really get all the yawg will hype. I mean, obviously it's insane in vintage when you've got lotuses and LEDs and stuff like that running rampant, but outside of a storm deck or something I don't get the appeal of yawg win in EDH. Most of your spells are kind of expensive on average. Sure, late game if you've got 15 mana or something it could get pretty insane, but something like Praetor's Counsel seems like it'd be better at that point. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are decks that do well with it, but it hardly seems like an auto-include.
And then tack on 3 more mana, the fragility of being a creature, summoning sickness that lets everyone see it coming, and frankly I just don't see what's so appealing about him. He's not even recurrable if you manage to activate him, either. At least with yawg will you could get it back to hand with reiterate + remand + 15RRRRRRUB

Not all decks are clunky battlecruiser builds that jam a ton of high cost spells. Being able to recur equipment, value creatures, land, select powerful spells, tutors, etc. is a huge play. More than just Storm can take advantage of that kind of recursion. This also opens up the option of being able to do it at instant speed, turning on any counterspells or spot removal you may have sitting around in your yard at a likely much more opportune time. It also makes for an effective rattlesnake because of that.

I guess I feel like, to be able to justify paying 6 mana for the effect, you'd better be able to cast at least 5 spells. Of course you do get selection, so maybe 5 is a little high since you can pick exactly what you need at the time, but you're also fighting creature removal, graveyard hate, etc that you wouldn't have to deal with if you had a simple draw spell or something.
I'm not saying some decks won't want it, just that it seems weird to me that Magus of the Will is the "how can you not include this card???" of the set for you. I'd say that card is probably Faerie artisans, sylvan reclamation, conqueror's flail, or Curtain Call. Those all seem way more versatile to me.

You're not really paying 6 mana for the effect, you're paying 3 for a 3/3, which is nothing spectacular but a body is a body. You can then pay 3 whenever you choose to do so in order to get the effect. There are plenty of spells I'd love to be able to cast a second copy of for an additional 3 mana, Bribery for instance. Or being able to recur Demonic/Vampiric Tutor or something in order to grab whatever answer I may need at the moment. And if I happen to have more mana and can get more out of it? Great. There's a reason it is the most expensive of the new cards spoiled.
Curtain Call seems pretty bad to me, personally, I just do not care for Undaunted as a mechanic, especially since it's rare my whole playgroup can get together and we usually have max 3 player games most often (sometimes just playing 1v1). Flail seems like a fairly weak equipment overall, the only real decent thing it offers is the Grand Abolisher-esque ability I guess? Reclamation I agree is going to be a solid card (going into Saffi for me) and Faerie Artisans also is finding a home in Lazav alongside the Magus, as it too is fantastic.

Temporal Mastery was some ungodly price when it was first spoiled too. If it mimics a powerful card, people will assume it'll be powerful. The card was literally spoiled yesterday and there's a tiny handful of sellers. Let's let things simmer down a little before we use the price as an indicator of anything except hype.
A 3/3 for 3 is a good deal. For limited. In commander it's a largely useless liability. Even if no one bothers to target it outright it could easily get wiped incidentally. And it's not "whenever you choose" - summoning sickness hugely limits how much value you can expect to get out of it, since if there's a bunch of great stuff in your grave people are more likely to target it for removal. Regular will doesn't give people such a heads up.
Bribery costs 5. You really think it's all that great for 8? What are you grabbing that's such a great deal for 8? Emrakul is banned. Wouldn't it be better to play, idk, blatant thievery or basically any decent spell that just costs 8? Plus the initial cost of the creature, now you're talking 11. Yawg Will just doesn't have the same economy when you're talking about EDH spells compared to vintage spells.
Curtain call obviously is at its best in large games, but I assume most people plan for a 4 player FFA. Kill 2 creatures for 2B? Seems amazing. Of course it's pretty bad for 1v1. Good not amazing for 3 player.
Abolisher ability is really strong. Flail will be too.
I would say faeries is probably the most powerful card from the set in a vacuum. Outside of the vacuum, maybe the manta but we'll see.
Curtains' call seems pretty great to me, since there are pretty much always two or more opponents, it's 3B instant destroy 2 target creatures.
I think divergent transformations is pretty busted, just played for value, not even using it to put the only 2 creatures in your deck into play and win on the spot. Just target your own tokens or durdly dorks and spit out 2 random creatures at instant speed, for 5 mana? Seems good!
Runehorn hellkite is an awesome concept but 6 mana is a lot for a wheel.
The only commander that interests me is tymna the weaver. Still not sure who I want to partner her with, I think all the other partners are pretty sucky.
Duelist’s Heritage will probably replace Battle Mastery in my Sigarda enchantress deck. It won't procc a draw off Kor Spiritdancer , it's one less aura to make Daybreak Coronet stick, and it isn't fetchable with Idyllic Tutor, so those are the downsides, but it costs one less to cast, it doesn't get removed on a board wipe, and it lets me perhaps give an opponent's dude double strike should such a thing prove advantageous.

You sure you're looking at the right card? It's totally fetchable with idyllic tutor. And it costs the same, not one less.

Oops, misread Battle Mastery as 3W, so they do cost the same, and mis-typed Idyllic Tutor when I meant Three Dreams.
The two cards I am most excited for is Manifold Insights and Ancient Excavation. Tasigur rarely gets new toys to play with that fit the deck, and these two seem extremely potent for him, either digging down 10 and giving opponents a hard time choosing what to put in my hand, or digging down into my deck the size of my hand and, since it fills my graveyard, having no real issues since Tasigur can end up getting what I want back later via Delve and his activated ability. Only big issue is that both are sorceries, not instants, but worth testing.

Ephara got a bunch of potentially cute cards: entrapment maneuver, selfless squire and grip of phyresis all become cantrips, and faerie artisans becomes even more value
Other than those I can see myself finding uses for manifold insights, ancient excavation, sylvan reclamation, migratory route, maybe stonehoof chieftain in xenagod. Conqueror's flail definitely has a great ability, but the need for it to be equipped to work really limits the amount if decks I want it in.
