Culling Drone: Welp, here's the common 2/2 with ingest needed (for limited) to power some nice mid-game processor plays. Drana, Liberator of Malakir: Has been spoiled for a while now, just as awesome as expected. Benthic Infiltrator: another Processor feeder as well as solid blocker. Plus I really like the artwork Complete Disregard: Instant speed and exile are wort the 1 it costs over Reave Soul Mind Raker, Murk Strider: Those are quite powerful effects on solid bodies. I'll be quite happy to draft colorless stuff in this format without even needing to go big.
I like all the new eldrazi there, and good to see more invest. I look forward to playing the infiltrator in limited, I hope there will be an enchantment that supports processors...
Drana is what you call pushed. This sets version of Brimaz, King of Oreskos. Trading flying and first strike for better stats which is fair when she is able to buff your whole team in the first strike damage phase.
Hot damn! A reasonable instant speed removal spell at common. Hopefully the removal in constructed isn't poor enough where this needs to be included, but it's an upgrade to Reave Soul.
The rest are basically Limited fodder, but cool nonetheless. It's a sizeable batch of Ingestors and Processors, which is intriguing. They probably aren't Constructed-playable, but Ingest as a Limited theme looks very live now.
Disregard is slow and narrow. It's a shame it's here now, because a colorless removal spell would have been pretty sweet to have available when Heroic was a thing. Now that we aren't playing around God's Willing, I'm not convinced the devoid is much of an upside, and 3 mana is a lot for removal. If I'm in Black and desperately want exile effects, Transgress the Mind seems stronger. Still, if Ingest is a thing in Constructed, it logically slots into that deck.

Benthic Infiltrator will probably be critical for many draft strategies.

...and mythic. Nice removal, though.

Why wouldn't you just run Smother?
Before the glory of Yawgmoth, yes, even this makes sense.

Exile > Destroy
But still too expensive
Drana is nice. The commons are good, and Complete Disregard is great.

The removal spell is surprisingly good. It's one more answer to Hangar back and I'll take it.
I'm also loving the C/U in this set. Really stoked for sealed and draft to get underway.
Drana is also pretty decent.
not the new Vampire Nighthawk but decent nonetheless.
Now we see why she got the playmat.
