Well, the spoilers really leave me flaccid. Most of these uncommon Planeswalkers look like limited use enchantments (though that was probably what they were going for, the plan being to use proliferate etc. to keep them going).
The amass keyword looks crappy.
Jace looks like he could stand out and give use a pseudo-delver archetype.
Other than that, this card looks remotely interesting:

Nah, they got them googly eyes thing for April's Fools. The spoilers are from the day before (unless it's a timezone thing).

Ignite the Beacon seems like it will take Teferi to a new level of annoying.

Good thing he is rotating out in a few months.

Also, we're getting a better edict, or so it seems.

That Teferi is hot

it's a boomerang that draws a card and leaves a powerful static effect in play, kind of nuts. 3cc dodges Disdainful Stroke

Being able to run Dovin and double Teferi (hell, triple Teferi) azorius wont need black anymore after this set

He looks a bit like Morgan Freeman there, or is it just me?

They really need to put some leash on their artists and demand freaking consistency. That Orzhov Kayda broad seems to have a different ethnicity on a card by card basis.
Am I racialistic for pointing this out?
Or is it the artists being racialistic because they cannot tell the difference?
Or is racial-fluid a thing now?
Oh the joys of the XXI century.

Yeah, Teferi's busted. 5 loyalty broke it, it's too easy to fit in the mainboard and will be a pain even for shit like golgari. Really glad I'm not a control player.
New Gideon looks cool. It's a very reasonable beater for control decks, a possible sideboard for weenies, and an interesting card to play with in general.
Bolas looks fun, but I dunno why would you tap out for him instead of paying 3 mana for teferi, besides him being the fucking Bolas. Looking forward to grixis brews, though I think the best way to play him will be superfriends.
Flux Channeler will make me revisit my shitbrew simic ascendancy deck for sure. Nice card to have around.
Davriel is just cancer. Love it.
Karn is ridiculous. Wondering how fast people can break him.
Overall, I'm pretty hype so far. Expected superfriends utter domination, but it seems we're getting just the regular planeswalker cancer.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit. I mentioned being interested in playing a cavalcade of calamity deck and this got sent to me and I immediately tried it out because I love goblins too, and it's fun as all fucking hell. Crowning glory of the deck so far was when I got matched against sultai with the explore package, he healed up to around 45 life, I had 1 life left, and then I did something like 48 damage in a single turn with the cavalcade-flame of keld death beam as well as using siege commander to sac the gobbos that got blocked to squeak the last few points of damage in. Ended up tapped out and even then only 2 or 3 points over lethal. It is pretty simple to play but clinging on by your fingernails in matches like that and you have to weigh when to throw away goblins and when not to is pretty solid.
