There are SO MANY legendary things in this set.
EDIT: If i parsed that translation right, there is a Karn, Jaya and Teferi planeswalker. Teferi looks crazy. Wonder how they justify him getting his spark back.
Legendary goodies everywhere! Can't wait to actually see the cards, because we're heading the flavor zone.

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This spell costs 2 less to cast for each creature sacrificed this way.
When Torgaar, Famine Incarnate enters the battlefield, up to one target player's life total becomes half their starting life total, rounded down.
Suicide Black in Commander here i come! Kinda neat with Soldevi Adnate to get that sweet etb trigger twice

I'm surprised no one has said this yet, but there is a Boros legendary creature that is the first legendary in a very long time that explicitly doesn't focus on combat.

It only took them like....... way too long.
Yeah. Archangel Avacyn would qualify as a Boros who's not focused on combat, so it's about two years. Before her, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight could be a spellslinger commander herself. Need more.
I'd also add that Hallar, the Firefletcher is our newest potential Gruul spellslinger commander too, who could also be a creature/creature-mix commander when needed.
Dominaria feels like the elegant combination of "Legends (the set), Kamigawa Block and badly designed/obvious missing Commander archetypes" done right, put into the former capital plane (they admitted Ravnica is the effective capital of the current times), which was severely lacking an identity since it already used up the post-apocalyptic plot/setting already (and the generic-magic-world one it shares with too many other less-developed planes like Shandalar).
I'm confident Muldrotha, the Gravetide will have to be a really combo-based commander - a major part that Karador can play around attrition is because it has the cost-reduction ability (which also subverts Commander Tax), whereas Muldrotha is a 6-drop that will only cost more each time. I'm not denying that every permanent type is a completely different (and vast) dimension of possibilities, but it also likely requires a boatload of mana and chances are you're better off preparing for launch everything at one go instead (whereas Karador's cost reduction actually reduces incentive to bother removing him until gravehate hits, but when gravehate hits, that's less incentive from another direction to bother with Karador, whereas Muldrotha is legitimately more vulnerable to both gravehate and removal).
...so I've known about this for maybe half a day, and have a potential-build pile created for Firesong and Sunspeaker. Somehow that card just hits all the right spots for me: my Boros commander was boring to actually play (either I killed someone with commander damage or did pretty much nothing all game), I've always loved the card Searing Meditation and similar effects, they be a Minotaur (one of my fave tribes) and I've been wanting to build a "burn" Commander without resorting to infinite mana a while now. Will be fun finding the right cards to make 'em tick.

This feels like such an amazing set. The legendary sorceries and sagas are all amazing. I've gone through the spoiler and there's so much stuff in there that I can immediately find slots for in existing decks, on top of a bunch of new commanders that can be built around.
One question though. Does Naru Meha, Master Wizard go infinite with Ghostly Flicker and similar effects? Because if so, that could be insanely busted, and it's definitely a strong contender for my next commander deck.

Yes. You cast the flicker, cast Naru copying it, target Naru and some value creature with the copy, rinse and repeat. I really think they should have made the trigger "When you cast Naru Meha, Master Wizard" to avoid this.
That said, Naru Meha is exactly the commander I've wanted for a very very long time...
but I wanted her in red.
Now I'm afraid that despite how cool she is, she'll end up with a reputation as a combomonger like Marath, Will of the Wild and get hated on.

Yeah in this case it works the exact same way that Dualcaster Mage works with ghostly flicker, target two lands, cast the Mage, copy the flicker and keep targeting a single land and the mage never letting the original resolve and generating mana.
You can then add other effects into this if they have flash etc etc etc
In other news, I'm excited about Oath of Teferi. I've been wanting a planeswalker synergy card from my Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis deck that's not useless without a walker on the field. This checks that box! I'll probably try to squeeze Teferi, Hero of Dominaria in as well.
You still get infinite creatures entering and dying - you just only keep the one at the end of your loop.
With Rite you still get infinite copies of whatever you want on the battlefield, you just end with the one Naru at the end of your loop.
Archangel Avacyn would qualify as a Boros who's not focused on combat
OTOH, right before she came out, they change the transform rules to prevent her being usable for token combo. (With the unchanged rules, she would flip back and forth for each creature that died while she was sunny-side-up, so for example sacrificing 27 creatures in one turn would deal 42 damage to each opponent on the next upkeep.)
What do u guys think of Demonlord Belzenlok. Love the name, love the elder demon creature type but the ability seems a bit underwhelming if u only get 1 card. Thoughts?
What about Torgarr? Discounting commander tax is always nice but having to sac makes the discount a bigger loss than Keranos. The ability is neat but not mind blowing.
The vampire legend is pretty bad. Is it sad that my fav black legend is the uncommon that reanimates?
If Rona is replayed, can u play cards she exiled before she changes zones? I'm guessing u have to start a new pile but I'd like to be wrong lol
