Mythic Spoiler now has all of the cards revealed by the exhibition drafts. I think I'll wait until the official reveal before I comment on the random cards, though.

Marchesa's Decree
3B
Enchantment
When Marchesa's Decree enters the battlefield, you become the monarch.
Whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, the controller of that creature loses 1 life.
This will definitely make it into some decks for me.
EDIT:
This will go instantly into every Commander deck that can afford a {C} slot.

Many decks in EDH don't desire to become monarch and actively don't want anyone else to become it either. Stax, pillowfort and group hug decks though.
It's also not an effect I'd want to go down a land for.

Effects that recur land or ramp you or whatever are so common that I don't tend to think of "sac this land for utility" as a major cost in EDH. This lets you have monarchy (or denying it to other players) available as an option when relevant without having to build your gameplan around it.

Dunno how many colorless land slots I have available in my Kozilek EDH deck unfortunately.

hadn't considered the deny option even if you don't want the effect in play, good point.

It's not something I focus on since there aren't really people around me playing Commander anymore, so it hasn't changed much in the last couple months. That said, this is what I'm running:
There's a lot of stuff I'm still not running just because there's not a lot of point in me buying new cards for it. Stuff like Mimic Vat, Duplicant and Myr Battlesphere that are pretty easy inclusions.

I have a Daretti Stax deck it could go in.

Why does the reminder text specify creature on lifelink but not deathtouch? Lifelink on spells works going by Soul Fire Grandmaster
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Reminder text isn't actually defined in the rules, so they can adjust it to fit cards where appropriate. There are a couple other examples I can't recall off the top of my head
Until Soulfire Grandmaster came around, that was kind of a big question mark.
I've always secretly wished that Lightning Helix was just a Lightning Bolt with lifelink.
went 3-0
sphinx of the jwar isle might be my favourite non-dragon dragon in limited ever. shroud and knowing your next topdeck on a 5/5 flying body is just so good in limited. too bad they can't easily reprint it because of the card title. i played it in standard too back in the day.
ps. still waiting for a red shroud/hexproof dragon, wizards.

Went 3-1 at FNM with Standard Burn and then was undefeated in Swiss and lost in the Semifinals at a 22-man GPT today with Modern Burn.
Burn.

Rakdos version of my Eldritch Offering deck:
Big Boy Burn
The high end is a little lower, but the cards have more play to them being instant-speed and fall can just be cast for small amounts off of stuff like petal and gitaxian probe to kill a couple delvers or whatever. Also, chaining Angler into Hellkite into Fall of the Titans is some real Big Boy damage.

You know, it is pretty weird that neither the two Commander deck printings nor the WPN/Gateway foil promo version skip the reminder text. I guess it hasn't gotten a brand-new printing since they stopped requiring Lifelink reminder text on uncommons.

I don't normally play aggro decks, but my duel commander Zurgo list is one of my favorite to play. I think it's because the creatures are so cheap that I don't care if they die or not.
Forked Bolt is one mana >:|
That's already in standard.

This is the deck that won the MOCS on MTGO

It was piloted by Jacob Wilson. Michael Majors played Abzan at the invitational this weekend with Grim Flayers too. Seems pretty good when your opponent isn't casting bolts early and as 4/4 for 2 mid-game. The trample shouldn't be over looked either.
All I need is Caller of the Claw to be reprinted to be modern playable and ill have my dream GBX modern deck <3

That Nighthawk is from Zendikar vs Eldrazi which came out well after FRF.
Yes, but the reminder text for lifelink is always the same. There's not really any reason to change it just because Soulfire Grand Master exists.

Oh wow, I thought they were playing Standard so I hadn't been watching it. Oops.
Yes, the trample on Grim Flayer is very relevant because it makes their chump blockers worse.

LSV drafted Tin Fins in his latest Vintage Cube draft. My favorite part was his arch nemesis Oliver Tiu casually complimenting him in the youtube comments.

Wow at Brad Nelson's turn two win with Death's Shadow Aggro.

As much as I was rooting for Jadine, that T2 kill by Brad was impressive.

I don't know if it was a joke or not, but Cedric said that SCG just sold out.
Def not a joke. It'll jump. It's only like $5 right now.

Sure that was the nut draw but so much about it could have gone wrong and the matchups shouldn't be particularly good. It's not a joke deck but it's like if infect went full YOLO and dropped blue

I sold all my foils when people started to use them in Infect.
I swear to god I still have a set of foil Hooting Mandrills from my SCG Oakland deck somewhere.

I've honestly not heard of her before but I'm happy to see her get there.
