My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras. Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power. Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza. Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall. Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana. Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die. Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Got Twitch stream so hyped up and then they shot them in the face with a tranquilizer dart. Said they thought it would be good in "high tier" constructed.
Not sure if I prefer this over Thran Dynamo in commander myself. Jumping to 7 mana is pretty juicy, and the utility of drawing 2 later is never a bad thing. Will see obvious commander play, not sure about Standard, 4 mana is an odd spot.

Amusingly, I have to think a 4-cost mana rock that ramps us by two colorless mana may best improve decks built around big, colorless Eldrazi, despite the flavor of the card being something for defeating them.

I'll definitely replace Ur-Golem's Eye in any of my decks.
It feels like each of those cards are good because one is cheap enough to get out early and the other digs deep enough to power through the late game. This card might be good but it feels a bit too balanced for people to really want. Maybe make it cost 5 and up it t3 and Draw 1.
Ugin left this safety unlock there on purpose. He didnt knew if Eledrazi have any bigpicture purpose so wanted to have some backdoor to release them if necessary.

You know what's safer than a lock that opens if you breathe on it the right way? Almost anything.

As someone who plays Elesh Norn, I waaaaaaay prefer this one over the other two since it lets me cast my commander on the next turn. Mind Stone had too little impact, and Dreamstone Hedron was just too slow.
I would be surprised if control decks don't run this as a 1 or 2 of in the next Standard. Provides a nice source of colorless mana, and can draw some cards in the fly (and can't be countered)
This will definitely slot into a good deal of EDH decks. If there is something worth ramping into in standard, it could see a look there. It's nice that it gets you there and can go away to keep the fatty you just plopped down safe with more fuel.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

Seems like the perfect balance for Commander.

"Well, to be fair, an emo kid, a punk, and a maniac unlocked it last time."
My Kozilek deck wouldn't hate it. Any rock in the Mind Stone family are pretty good.
p.s. I think I like the duel decks expansion symbol better than the official expansion symbol.

And probably some others too.

Of course Ugin's sagacity seems rather hollow given that he made a trap that could accidentally be unlocked.

He's wearing gloves and that stupid vest made of dumb belts and badges. Why! Why does he need so many clothes?

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
