Teferi's Protection not too badly priced, I can see it playing with a lot of blow up everything cards as both protection from and to make one sided EDIT: and also as a last ditch to stay alive for a turn lol
I really like Patron of the Vein. Six CMC for ETB kill a dude is not unreasonable, GY hate is nice, and it's a decent sized evasive beater that keeps growing. Obviously better with more vampires but good enough to play without tribal support is a great place for this kind of card to be.

Obviously it can't deal with indestructible in this limited form of exile but it still permanently removes a wide swath of creatures for a Noxious Gearhulk amount of mana
So far, I am rather positively interested: a lot more non-specific goodies that work outside of the designate tribes than I expected. This is good, because I don't have a deck for any of the tribes and so far doesn't look like I will. (Had dragons as monored, hate wizards with somewhat of a passion, don't care for cats and two of my friends have a vampire deck already.)
...and a buttload of stuff of General Tazri. Not that anyone is surprised.

Either the artist really likes that hairstyle or really hates it.
It might be even better than that. Looked up the artist (Kieran Yanner), found this picture attached to an online store:
Similar enough that I could see the curses as self portraits of him getting into trouble.
I don't see him getting into trouble, I mean its not like people are gonna rush out to get singles of the curses. Heck i expect most people to pull the curses out as they have no synergy. As an owner of a company like WotC i would allow him to get away with this. You hire many artists to do art of many cards (Sometime many artists to do art of the same card), let them have fun now and then.
As for decks I am getting Dragon guaranteed, and Wizards if Kindred Discovery is not in dragons. (though i might just buy the single, still waiting to see what wizards is. I have an Azami wizard tribal deck, which is probably much stronger.
Heirloom Blade looks nice. It's no clamp, but it will generate advantage and might help to discourage removal. Inala, Archmage Ritualist good be sweet with some ETB wizards. I mean, it an unkillable Flameshadow Conjuring that sometimes comes down and domes for seven. Very strong. Patron of the Vein is cool. Exile is wonderful and pumping the team looks like what the vamp deck wants to do (not my cup of tea but hey). New Blood looks really strong in vamp tribal. Being able to swipe something sweet AND make it synergize with your tribe AND make your opponent have their own steal effect to get it back as opposed to a grip seems really, really good. Kindred Charge is confirmation that the vamps are going wide as well as a sweet card for other wide goers such as goblins. Mathus, Fiendseeker is a really fun, unique design. Who doesn't love drawing cards?
[card]Teferi's Protection[/cardd, in addition to being a flavor home run, is a great way to abuse etb effects and to save yourself and/or your permanents. It looks really fun. Edgar Markov looks like he'll spawn a plane's worth of vamps. The eminence effect is strong and synergizes with his attack trigger. I'm not too into swarmy decks, but if I was... Lycia, Sanguine Tribune has some new looking armor. It looks too Roman to be Theros. Cool in lifegain, bummer it can't go into Oloro.
I'm excited for wizards. I don't know how much I'll like the vamps but time will tell.

Getting into trouble as in the character in the curses is getting into trouble. He's finding himself in problematic situations, such as being chased by zombies or the target of an angry mob, because he's been cursed.

They're good multiplayer design in any format that doesn't use teams - which is Commander, most of the time, and they're in a Commander product, so I think it's good. They give you a bonus for attacking, and they encourage your opponents to attack someone other than you. I think they work fine.
Oh, I guess we can also add "ramping for attacking" to the design space for red that no red or Boros legend has explored yet.
I know I can't use this one card to declare making Gold tokens as part of red's color pie. Just wishful thinking...
Some cards i wish were not so tribal focused. Like new blood. Why not change all intances to creature type of you choice instead? Slivers, allies, dragons...
It can't be in the Wizard deck; it's white.
It can only be in the Dragon deck.

It reads similar to Anafenza, the Foremost, exiling in the GY, so, ETB exile.
Second thought: Doubling ETB/hasting TAP abilities while creating an extra sac token...of wizards, a good, developed tribe...is wild.
EDIT: For one of any color. Just wild.

or perhaps it is the artist and he is drawing himself in each curse, for fun.

Definite combo material. This will be strong. I'm picking this as 2017's Breya.
Cards that have, at any rate, found a home:
Disrupt Decorum is flavor-sauce greatness, and works as a way-clearer for Lovisa.
Fractured Identity - there's always something juicy around.
Scalelord Reckoner is a half-decent dragon for half-dragon-tribal Dromoka, Eternal. Hammer of Nazahn is also handy ID equipment for same deck.
Bloodsworn Steward for Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge: on-flavor and nice haste/buff for the lady.
Territorial Hellkite for Yasova; more power than sense? Check.
Traverse the Outlands is a tentative overkill option for the rampy ramp-ramp Jund deck that is Vaevictis.
Kindred Charge, with luck copying a few fishy lords in Jori En, can end up being really stoopid.
Heirloom Blade looks like a thing for the minotaur madness pile that is Neheb, the Worthy. Who needs toughness, anyway?
...
...and a buttload of stuff of General Tazri. Not that anyone is surprised.
Decent body for a 5cmc wiz.
Eminence ability insane. May as well start game with emblem that reads "whenever you play a wiz, pay one to flameshadow conjure it." wtf
The only time I'd actually play this commander from the zone is for the tap 5 life loss ability.
I think we are looking at a tier 1 commander, folks

True, now that you mention it. i was thinking (why tap 5 to do 7 life when you can tap 5 o draw 5 card with azami.
Was only gonna get dragons and maybe wizards if kindred discovery was not in dragons, but now i might get both.
