Look at the top five cards of your library. Put any number of permanent cards from among them onto the battlefield and the rest into your hand. Exile Genesis Ultimatum.

Titans' Nest 1BGU
Enchantment
Rare
At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. You may put that card into the graveyard.
Exile a card from your graveyard: Add C. Spend this mana only to cast a colored spell without X in its mana cost.
Mythos of Illuna 2UU
Sorcery
Rare
Create a token that's a copy of target permanent. If RG was spent to cast this spell, instead create a token that's a copy of that permanent, except the token has "When this permanent enters the battlefield, if it's a creature, it fights up to one target creature you don't control."
Titan's nest is a Search for Azcanta with a mana rock ability. Mythos of Illuna is a Clever Impersonator that can copy a land or even be removal. These are really good cards.
Companion - your starting deck contains atleast twenty cards more than the minimum deck size
When yorion enters the battlefield exile any number of nonland permanents you own and control, return those card to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step
So for edh I think this ones companion that’s actually impossible to do in commander
Spelleater Wolverine looks like a decent card for pauper. I'd be very surprised if that card wouldn't have double strike when you drop it in a burn deck.
Am I the only one who looks at Titan's Nest and goes, "meh?" Like, what are you going to ramp into with this after turns 3-4? A lot of the payoffs for big time ramp are eldrazi or X spells.

There's lots this can power out in Sultai alone.
I like it actually lets you reduce the mana on counters too, so if I cast this and leave open a U, I can cast a counterspell requiring only a single U with delve.
Wait, The Wanderer is in Ikoria? That feels so random. What, is she going to randomly appear in card arts in random sets from now on?... because that would be totally awesome and in-character.
Is it just me, or does Light of Hope seems REALLY good? 1 mana destroy target Enchantment is a good ratio and is relevant for quite a few matchups, but the ability to be live against Aggro and a combat trick on a pinch makes it a very solid all-around. Mystic Subdual's art is a treat, as is Startling Development's flavor text. Whisper Squad is a really interesting card, while it costs mana, free fodder for Aristocrats brews is not to be underestimated.
As mentioned above, Spelleater Wolverine is a really powerful Common with Pauper potential. Even in Limited, this attacking while the opponent has two spells in the grave will make me nervous every single time. Ram Through is hilarious card design. Not sure if I like this color pie bend, but still pretty funny. Sleeper Dart is one interesting egg. Note that it doesn't tap the creature, only prevents untapping, but eggs be eggs, and this one impacting the board is sweet and potentially playable in Constructed.

There is an article that has the story info on the cards and Vivien says she saw the Wanderer pop up for a second and then walk away. I would love to have her just pop up one off cards as a running gag.

The Wanderer randomly having a reference card in this set is actually kinda brilliant considering what her whole gimmick is. I hope we continue to have her randomly show up for no reason from time to time.
Also how is random guy bonding with Sprite Dragon in the card art for Corpse Churn not a story highlight

Being a sorcery also allows to be cast again and again, if you have a way to cast it for free with whatever you clone.
So thats a VERY powerful card, that can combo win, or acts as the very best permanent on the entire battlefield all the time.
And in addition to all of that, you can just fight and kill something too !

A companion that you can't play as a companion in EDH even if you wanted to.
I think casual metas would allow it. But companion aside you can still run it in the 99... and its an amazing Blinker.

SHANDALAR
Innistrad - The Darkest Night

Commander: Allies & Adversaries
Yep lol
But this is a fantastic for 99 in blink/flicker though I think it’s another temporary to permanent theft since it doesn’t say owners control
(And the rules say your allowed to use the card when it’s not your companion in decks)
Edit: And calling Titan's Nest a "mana rock ability" is severely underselling it. It basically gives all your non-x colored spells Delve.
Kudos my lad not as good but atleast it’s still bonkers with all the ETB stuff
Also that leech is gonna drive counter decks crazy with the counter removal
Although that sultai enchantment is gonna really tick off the people who wants to brew zaxara
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
look,who can hit it with cascade

There's lots this can power out in Sultai alone.
I like it actually lets you reduce the mana on counters too, so if I cast this and leave open a U, I can cast a counterspell requiring only a single U with delve.
Its pretty much the very same cards that win the game immediately of the Sultai Ultimatum.
You get to cast something game ending and thats it.
