I like Tatyova, making late-game land draws much less painful. Spelling her name, however, will take some practice.
Oh, and Rona does a nice Snapcaster Mage impression for Legendary Sorceries. Just throwing that out there.
Tatyova sounds similar to Tatyana, which is common Russian name.
Interesting, but Empress Galina and Voda sea are also most likely inspired by Russian.
Not only does Tatyova sound Russian, but it is the proper feminine dimunitive, no? It would mean 'daughter of Taty(a)'? If they followed convention, that might mean that their society is matriarchal. I sooooo want to dump a lot of lands with her out. Something like Boundless Realms or even Nissa cards. The 6-mana one goes from 3 lands and 7 life to 3 lands, 3 cards, and 10 life. Ouch.
Only interesting one of this bunch to me is Tatyova, for future commander purposes.
The other cards feel unappealing, especially the UB one. So slow and clunky.

Would you like to read Commander stories? Check my latest stories, coming from Lorwyn and Innistrad: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Doran, The Siege Tower! If you like my writing, ask me to write something for your commander as well!
Man, I wish Tatyova was a 2/4 so it didn't scream "BOLT ME" to every opponent that sees it. But I'm going to play the crap out of her with Wayward Swordtooth.
The Tatyova EDH deck basically builds itself. Looking forward to bouncing lands with Meloku and filling my hand for Empyrial Plate, Overbeing of Myth and others.
Sad about the lack of flavor text on Rona, I'm interested to know what's up with the Gix connection. Is he back? If so, what are the implications for both Old and New Phyrexia, Gix being one of the very first Phyrexians. Are there other survivors of Old Phyrexia? Are there two Phyrexias now?
Now we need to have two exile zones, one for Rona and one generic. It is a shame that Standard has almost no way to manipulate the top card of your library other than Forerunners at this time.

Indeed it is, but there isn't enough scry available right now. Black/blue decks sometimes use Opt and often Glimmer of Genius but we aren't going to have Glimmer for much longer. The Scarab God allows for scrying but, truthfully, by the time you have that creature out you are winning instead of worrying about scrying. I haven't seen anyone use Reason // Believe so far even though "scry 3" is pretty useful.
Tatyova is going into my Merfolk commander deck. Not as the commander, but as another way to draw cards.
Both Rona and Valduk have serious potential. I am considering making Valduk into a mono-red equipment deck, to counter a mono-white cat/equipment deck a friend uses.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Tatyova, Benthic Druid seems like the perfect budget/beginner commander. Ramp, draw, and gain life to your hearts content until you get your wincons. Farhaven elf becomes three mana for a body, a land, a card, and a life. I think I'll build a deck just to loan out.
We already had Valduk's image from the first art batch.
Rona is a badass cyborg with Mask of Pain on her bauble...
And Tatyova is a UG landfall legend...
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

Tatyova is good with mid to late game fetch lands.
