Remorseful Reverend makes me happy, even though it will seriously screw with some of my decks. Seems like a shoo-in for every Alesha deck ever, but also a perfect foil to every Alesha deck ever.
Metamorphic Alteration seems like it should have the potential for all sorts of shenanigans.
Open the Graves is interesting, but at CMC 5 I'm not sure it's good enough to make the cut for Meren.
graveyard marshal looks like a solid, if not mindblowing, card for zombie tribal. Really nice, cheap body. runic armasaur is really, really strong in a world of fetchlands. I'll have to remind myself to always play and crack fetches on turn 1-2 for at least the near future. And of course lots of other potential incidental draw. Looks like the next rhystic study to me. one with the machine looks mediocre as hell to me, though I'm sure some decks will play it anyway. sai, master thopterist seems decent but not mindblowing. The token-making ability has been seen already for a little more expensive, but with the protection of an enchantment. And the sac ability is nice to have but really inefficient. Hard to see him beating other mono-artifact commander options - but he does have some utility for a low-cmc artifact deck that is less good for padeem, muzzio, etc. valiant knight is another good card for knight tribal. My multiple aryel decks approve. Although 5 is a lot to activate that ability. lena, selfless champion is a little hard for me to see right now. Maybe soldier tribal? having dauntless escort with a good ETB might be a reasonable choice for that deck. She's a good token producer but doesn't like tokens, so her role is a bit weird. goblin trashmaster is a great lord for goblins, although they already have a million. Definitely good for krenko and co. sarkhan, fireblood looks very unexciting here. Rummaging is a decent + ability, and ramping for dragons is ok, but he's hard to protect, his ult is meh, and I don't think he really does enough. Personally my zirilan list gives it a hard no. spit flame is way more exciting for my zirilan list. Instant-speed red removal that can be easily reused and doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Looks solid. The ixilan nonrecurring version is almost EDH playable, so this is definitely a contender imo. chaos wand is a super epic card imo. I'll be throwing this in all over the place. I think it's also pretty actually good too - you'll almost always hit removal, counter, board wipe, extra turn, something pretty bomby.
Arcades certainly has more interesting abilities than some of his cousins, but I don't know if I'd actually like to play a deck with him at the helm. Aside from Assault Formation and maybe Wakestone Gargoyle/Rolling Stones, you really need to have him out for the deck to work and I hate to worry about my commander all the time.
Sai is a nice addition for Sydri. This is unrelated to gameplay, but I love how he's sitting inside a greenhouse and is seemingly using butterflies as inspiration for his thopters. He kind of reminds me of the chairman dude from Paprika.
Dormant Sliver brings back memories of a game where I was the last alive against a Sliver Deck that had all the ones out you want to have like Shroud and what have you so on my last turn before getting overrun I cast Bribery on them and they had that card in the deck, was a good time.
I see quite a potent re-animator Commander in the full shard and not just in 2 of the three that looks like it can be built a bunch of different ways.
Singe from Rumor forum also suggested a deck base on low attack power, using Dusk, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Aligned Hedron Network, and Slaughter the Strong. Chromium is more diverse than most people think.

Dark-Dweller Oracle is a delightfully odd card.
New Bolas is pretty insane. Need one for my Bolas deck, of course.
Satyr Enchanter provides yet another card draw dude for Enchantress decks. Not sure they actually need another one, but whatever.
Meren and Alesha will love Desecrated Tomb. It might actually be my personal favorite card from the set.
Urgoros, the Empty One
Fell Specter
This feels like Emmara Tandris being switched with Voice of Resurgence.

Everything but the judge and masterpiece have dropped in price.
Now they just need to reprint sword of fire and ice and i'll be a happy camper lol I know it won't happen in a core set....
Hi Jhoira's best friend how are you today. Also a damn fine Mono-U Commander
This thing is also going to be a monster in EDH Mill/GY strategies
Visions of activating Birthing Pod to find Golgari Thug danced in my head... I'm not saying that's the strongest option just the first.
