What do u guys think of Demonlord Belzenlok. Love the name, love the elder demon creature type but the ability seems a bit underwhelming if u only get 1 card. Thoughts?
I think he's great. He's guaranteed to draw you at least one nonland, and potentially several. He's also easy to abuse with blink/reanimation shenanigans.

What about Torgarr? Discounting commander tax is always nice but having to sac makes the discount a bigger loss than Keranos. The ability is neat but not mind blowing.
The vampire legend is pretty bad. Is it sad that my fav black legend is the uncommon that reanimates?
If Rona is replayed, can u play cards she exiled before she changes zones? I'm guessing u have to start a new pile but I'd like to be wrong lol
Rona requires a new pile
vamp legend could be an easy 1hko in the right meta. Just play a bunch of blazing volley-alikes and swing for a bazillion. Kinda boring and expensive though.
belzenlok looks like crap to me. I hate high cmc decks and drawing a single card is atrocious. Even if he ends up being breakable he doesn't look interesting to me at all. Mono-B has lots of fun options, he ain't one.
torgarr seems ok. Interesting card but I doubt he's an interesting deck.
Big winners for me are the WB knights commander, RW spellslinger commander, the white and the black reanimator commanders, and the blue wizard-parharmonicon commander. All really cool. Probably brewing the knights or spellslingers first.
So then you need a way to abuse the infinite creature-mana. X-cost creatures such as Genesis Hydra look like a slam-dunk. But you also have infinite ETB triggers so Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors become strong possibilities. If you want to go even meaner, the combination of Mycosynth Lattice and Aura Shards will completely wipe the opponent's boards. Alternately, once you have that infinite mana you can just Goblin Bombardment your Squee away over and over again.
Or if you want to go even more complicated, if you use Zacama, Primal Calamity as your commander you can turn that infinite creature-only-mana into Infinite-Mana-For-Whatever-You-Want. Just play him, untap your lands, tap them, sac Zacama to the Food Chain, rinse and repeat for more mana. Which Zacama can then use to nuke your opponent's fields and give you infinite life.
Now, keep in mind that all this is only in Naya. You even have Eternal Scourge as a backup Food Chain piece but he's a wee bit harder to pull up from your deck due to his higher stats.
And I don't even want to think just what this will do for the 5cc Tazri Food Chain deck.........

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.
Boros spellslinger general looks fun. I actually built something like this with Ruhan and then Narset, earthquakes and life gain. Those colors also refill your hand with more burn spells though. Needs Personal Sanctuary and protection from red cards
Now that I've seen how sweet Phyrexian Scriptures looks, I'm thinking about putting it into my Selenia, Dark Angel deck. I might even cut Wrath of God for it. Wrath is generally better in a vacuum, but Scriptures goes well with Obzedat's Aid and does more than Wrath: it pumps, sweeps, and exiles opposing yards.
Scriptures has additionally convinced me to get a Urza's Saga Dark Ritual for the deck. I need to maximize that Phyrexian flavor!
Chisei, Heart of Oceans, Thrull Parasite, Hex Parasite, Æther Snap, and of course the blinks, ways to abuse Sagas further. Find a way to make Chisei an artifact, then he could keep Phyrexian Scriptures at 1~2 range, since Chisei's effect is upkeep while Saga's effect is right after draw.
If the spoiler wording is correct, Helm of the Host gives you infinite combats with Godo, Bandit Warlord, creating an increasingly stupid pile of equipment each combat. This pleases me greatly.

ugly lockdown once you hit two counters if you use Solemnity
The saga chapter abilities are triggered abilities that trigger when a counter is placed, so freezing the number of counters won't cause chapters to be repeated. You're going to have to remove counters if you want to reuse chapters.

Spoiled wording is from WotC, so smart money is on it being correct. This looks like a fun card for EDH all around. I'm personally looking forward to an army of Tajic, Blade of the Legion despite that not being the most powerful interaction the card has.

Clockspinning is secret tech, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice is not so secret. It'd be an interesting way to build Atraxa, if there's enough to go by for her. At least, more interesting than superfriends anyway.

Yeah, Scriptures + Hex Parasite for a 2-mana board wipe each turn
The saga frames are gross.

I think Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain has my brew-senses tingling the most of anything we've seen so far. A card that makes 0-CMC artifacts and mana rocks into cantrips in arguably the most Storm-y color combo is just begging to be broken in half. On the other hand, I don't know that it would be a fun deck to actually play, so I may just play her to take a trip on the Weatherlight straight to value town.

Sticking to Naya, you have Academy Rector, Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor and a few others who can fetch Food Chain.
So then you need a way to abuse the infinite creature-mana. X-cost creatures such as Genesis Hydra look like a slam-dunk. But you also have infinite ETB triggers so Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors become strong possibilities. If you want to go even meaner, the combination of Mycosynth Lattice and Aura Shards will completely wipe the opponent's boards.
