Shalai, Voice of Plenty
Give my army hexproof? In a deck that also employs Brisela and Avacyn? This sounds like a plan. Being only 4 mana? Helloooo nurse. Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle
Recursion of my smaller stuff just for doing what I do already. Yea, I'll be taking that. Urza's Ruinous Blast
Boardwipes that mostly spare your own stuff are great. Exile wipes are always wanted. This combines both so it's going in. Artificer's Assistant
The deck is on the weaker side early game, so getting a 1 drop to smoothen out things help. Whisper, Blood Liturgist
Probably not the strongest place for this card, but extra recursion that is also legendary doesn't hurt. Might end up getting cut. Yawgmoth's Vile Offering
Recursion and destruction in one neat package, and it's tutoreable by Sisay and Thalia's Lancers. The exile clause might hurt though. Kamahl's Druidic Vow
Because Genesis Wave in every green deck is boring, this deck is getting the fairer version. Garna, the Bloodflame
Another "maybe, maybe not" kind of case as this deck isn't all that good at keeping open 5 mana. Still, global haste alone makes it worth consideration. Grand Warlord Radha
Legendaries that produce mana are always welcomed, and this can lead to some blowout plays. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
But of course. Jodah, Archmage Eternal
You know what's fun? Casting Progenitus turn 5. I'll settle for Avacyn tho. Primeval's Glorious Rebirth
Mass reanimation is going to be a blowout here. Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage
I love playing in my opponent's turns. Raff lets me do just that, he'll be buddies with Teferi. Rona, Disciple of Gix
Very much a maybe card. Seems underpowered but iunno... Tatyova, Benthic Druid
Legendaries that draw cards are always wanted. Tatyova is no different. Jhoira's Familiar
It's a cost cut on almost all my creatures. I would be happier about it if it were to cost 3 mana though. Weatherlight
Can't have a legends themed deck without the Weatherlight, as far as I'm concerned.
Broken Bond
Very much a test, but it seems pretty good. Marwyn, the Nurturer
A slower/worse Gyre Sage/Elvish Archdruid can still make insane amounts of mana.
Jori En (Izzet Spells: The Deck) wants:
The Mirari Conjecture
Card advantage and doubling of spells rolled into a neat package. This thing's gonna be a blowout but will require delicate timing. Memorial to Genius & Memorial to War
Memorial to Genius will replace Blighted Cataract, and the Memorial to War will be an extra Strip Mine effect. Nothing spectacular, just neat.
I might be tempted into building a Traxos, Scourge of Kroog deck. If only because that thing is oh so badass.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
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.
Erebos, God of the Dead: Cabal Stronghold - Cabal Coffers it isn't, but it's still a pseudo-doubler in a deck that loves to generate lots of mana. Phyrexian Scriptures - A bit slow and clunky, but considering I run few creatures it's potentially an asymmetrical wrath that doubles as graveyard hate. It's also an enchantment, which is a subtheme in my deck.
Daretti, Scrap Savant: Damping Sphere - I don't run a stax build but this card mostly hoses unfair decks, which Daretti can have trouble with. Zhalfirin Void - This card rules. Half of my lands are utility nonbasics since the deck isn't red mana hungry, and this slots in nicely.
Dralnu, Lich Lord: Gilded Lotus reprint - Superior artwork. The Mirari Conjecture - It telegraphs the turn I'm planning to go off, but if I time it successfully then crazy things happen. Worth a test.
Planning on picking up Lyra Dawnbringer and Grand Warlord Radha day 1 for Radiant and her own deck, respectively. I'll probably grab Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle early too. Beyond those, my pickup list for my box (basically everything I could see playing in an EDH deck at any point in the future) is about 80 cards long. I'm holding off until foil prices drop a few weeks after release.

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
Yeah, there's a fair bit. I won't get it all, I've bought a box as it's the easiest for my wife and I to go halvesies and see what cool stuff comes up. There's plenty for both of us here.
A lot of these are going to be trialling are far from shoe ins, but that's half the fun of a new set. There's a few I'm keen for multiple copies of. Zhalfirin Void is very nice, Adventurous Impulse is strong, Unwind is too. Damping Sphere would be great to have a few copies of too.
I'll see how things play out with the sagas - they're strange card designs that will require precise timing, but I think some of them could be worth a go. The Antiquities War at the least could be great for Sydri.

Prime Speaker Zegana (Card draw: The Deck) wants:
Naban, Dean of Iteration
Because what's more fun than one Zegana trigger? TWO Zegana triggers.
Slinn Voda, the Rising Deep
Not because it's good, but it's just oh so cool.
Tatyova, Benthic Druid
See the comment in the Progenitus section.
Helm of the Host
Getting a new Zegana each turn seems only slightly unfair.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds (Elfdrazi: The Deck) wants:
Broken Bond
Very much a test, but it seems pretty good.

Beating Face with Bane
Beatrice, the Golden Witch
But "just want to have because it seems like a good card I'll use one day" cards aside:
Xenagos, God of Revels gets Broken Bond and Grunn, the Lonely King
Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper gets Precognition Field
Atraxa, Praetor's Voice gets Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, Oath of Teferi, Primevals' Glorious Rebirth Thran Temporal Gateway and Urza's Ruinous Blast (The latter is a near one-sided exile boardwipe in this deck)
Padeem, Consul of Innovation gets replaced by Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain and gets Weatherlight, The Antiquities War and Jaya's Immolating Inferno
Titania, Protector of Argoth gets Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar and The Mending of Dominaria
Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith gets Danitha Capashen, Paragon and Forebear's Blade
And then I also bought Jodah, Archmage Eternal and Evra, Halcyon Witness because I want to make a commander deck with them.
