I'm here just waiting to see what thing in the eldrazi deck breaks legacy. There virtually has to be a new colorless land that produces multiple mana, and we already have Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi temple (both likely reprints I imagine, maybe even downshifts). I almost expect a colorless Sera's Sanctum/Cradle/Academy style thing. T reveal your hand, gain X colorless where X is the number of Eldrazi you reveal would be pretty fun, in line with Titans Presence style abilities that the Drazi had.
Likewise there are not a hell of a lot of purely colorless Sorceries and Instants, so I suspect they have to make one or 2 just to balance out the deck against the other precons. Exciting times for a player who REALLY wants to see eldrazi be a real deck in legacy again.
Remind me of how many Planeswalkers and heros/named characters had to die the first time around? This is the level of threat that The Phyrexians should be. They should be The™ threat to everything within Magic. Not Bolas. Not the Eldrazi. The Phyrexians.
The Drazi should honestly pose a much higher level threat than they do to be fair. Phyrexians want to take over reality, Eldrazi reside inside the space between reality and could probably unravel it if inclined.
You are right though that Phyrexians needed to be more of a threat than Bolas, because he is literally just a dragon mustache twirler as opposed to an inexorable plague that consumes and converts all.
Digital Mox - Is less of a Mox and more of a sidegrade to ornithopter. I do not think that affinity needs a hasty flyer that can hold Cranial Plating, and that is what it will be used for, not being a Mox.
Dragon Blood Peaks - An almost strictly better Urborg or Yavimaya. Not benefiting your opponent is sometimes relevant since red is not running mountain walkers, and tapping for colorless is a strict upgrade since Eldrazi exist. I don't see the justification for needing this at all, It does not even seem within the color pie, though I realize lands are not strictly held to that. Blood moon effects are red but they change the land, not add to it. If anything this should say your lands are mountains and anytime they would tap for a mana of a color other than red, they produce red instead if you wanted it to be in theme with reds effects. But no, powercreep with no need.
No, they cannot. Disney is literally releasing their own own CCG around the same time with princesses in it, they would never cut out their own properties like that. Also this is the first time I have heard this as being a rumor as opposed to just some fanboy wish.
I've yet to meet a person who gave a damn about Dack, the character. You left Venser off your list, and frankly is Koth still alive? When was the last time we revisited that character?
Gates is a real deck in Pioneer and this frankly may bring it to a new level. Not coming into play tapped is huge so you can hit a turn 2 growth spiral or have an untapped land for a turn 3 gates ablaze.
It at the least replaces all the off color gates the deck was splashing just to hit critical mass, so i am inclined to think it will be a staple card there. Everywhere else, meh?
They both have their places. Where as the other Goyf often just feels like a 4/5 for 2 mana this guy has no cap and is not symmetrical with your opponents stuff. You have to work a little more for this one but the reward is there. His kicker costs are in good colors and he can honestly slot into a mono green deck that just runs bodies
Dare I say it, this is actually very good. Lot's of synergies with the sacrifice and cycling deserts, got green to get multiple land drops a turn, deserts already made tokens so it has token synergy.
I mean you wont see it at the CEDH table but it is very good and probably pretty economical top put together outside of probably wanting the normal costly green stuff.

So again, no.

It is getting to the point with legacy goblins where you basically every gobo combos off with every gobo you could include.
