Desecrated Tomb seems great, right? Whisper, Teshar, Squee(s), or any similar engine should be able to generate a lot of value from it. I like the base art more than the promo, too.

I like it. It’s a crazy engine that works with Dredge, Delve and other additional cost effects. In a format where death triggers are just as broken as ETB triggers, it has a chance to shine in a lot of decks.
It's a cute card that will sometimes seem overpowered in a casual game. Nothing too exciting, though, since the same effect has already been done for a lot cheaper.
Nothing comes to mind that EXACTLY lines up in a strictly-better way, but nezumi graverobber, geth, lord of the vault and the scarab god all fulfill pretty similar roles. 13 mana before you get much payoff is a tall order for a 75%+ deck imo. Although I'm sure it'll get played.

The new Bolas is nuts. Decent legendary creature that could turn into a PW with three good abilities and a game ending ult. Not as crazy with Dragon Tempest as the first Bolas but far more affordable as a general and recast.
Bolas is cool, but I think I like Vaevictis even more. Sacrificing your own stuff for profit is not a downside in Jund, and Chaos Warping all your opponents with every attack is fanastic. One of the best Elder Dragons of all in my opinion.
Yeavictis is nice and all, but I will be adding lathliss for sure into my dragon deck... just need to figure out what to cut. My dragon tribal is actually really fine tuned (not competitive but it does what it does and I love playing it every week. never grow tired of it.)
(I would ad Veavictis is it was for each drgaon, not just him)
Super hyped for the new Nicky B. I had just started working on a prototype Tymna/Ikra list, but it looks like that's getting put on hold while I rebrew a clone/theft control deck with New Bolas at the helm. Time to dust off the old list, I guess.
Keep one thing in mind with Vaevectis; while Chaos Warp is strong, this one can be manipulated if your opponents run things like Top, Library or topdeck tutors. Caution is advised.

Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
So...more reprints of high-powered green cards are great.
Palladia-Mors...compare/contrast as a finisher with Samut, I guess? She's not bad. I do like legends that "are options" for decks you want to do whatever with; for example, I like her to lead a non-Aura Naya enchantress deck more than I do anyone except maybe Marath.

Palladia is kinda blend, though she allows you to safely voltron up til you deal the final blow. For example, Giant Growth then Berserk then Battle Mastery, that’s one shot.
EDIT: It also satisfies many keywords for Majestic Myriarch, four keywords at once and Myriarch remains Hexproof till Palladia attacks.
Dark-Dweller Oracle goes directly into my VV2 deck. What’s with the pricy reprints...
Really it would be fun to make a deck with the only goal of one-shot people with Palladia. No attacks for less than 21 damage allowed.
Because otherwise she's boring af
Well...assault strobe (or any other double-strike situation) opens up a window for someone to break the 1-shot kill with instant-speed removal.
