No actual leaks in the thread, people!
Kudo, King Among Bears seems pretty fun, although I hope there's going to be more bear kindred support. Since he affects all creatures, stuff like Alpha Status and OG Norn works. And They Shall Know No Fear is Heroic Intervention at home, and Roaming Throne works for all of your creatures. Go-wide tokens seems like it would work, as would 0/0 creatures like Kalonian Hydra. Might be worth looking into the EDHREC cards for the two selesnya cat legends from Lost Caverns of Ixalan?
Herigast, Erupting Nullkite Kinda feel like an Emerge commander would be black and/or green instead? IDK how to abuse this either, red doesn't have that many good "overcosted" creatures like Avatar of Fury.
Null Elemental Blast: yeah this is really good in EDH, where every random utility land taps for .
Final Act: playable experience counter hate in EDH.

I presume that Nulldrifter's card drawing ability is a cast trigger and not an enters-the-battlefield trigger to prevent players from abusing it, as they can with Mulldrifter?

But that makes it rife for a whole new level of abuse. In my Magic Christmas Land, I get to Dress Down on my opponent's end step and then Evoke Nulldrifter which means I get to draw cards because of the cast trigger but not have to sacrifice it. And maybe kill a Territorial Kavu in the process.

Here's hoping for Null versions of Subtlety's cycle, sure that will work out great this time

How is Planar Nexus any different from Nearby Planet?

Planar Nexus enters untapped & doesn't need an additional payment from another land to stick around. Nexus also has the upside of color filtering/fixing.

Arcades is getting a 0/12 vanilla defender for four, not bad

Basking Broodscale: this surely goes infinitive with a lot of things, e.g. Rosie Cotton of South Lane

Forgot about Scurry Oak which is obviously very similar, but Basking Broodscale doesn't need another card to make a token, goes infinitive with e.g. Blade of the Bloodchief and can produce infinitive colorless mana

Given that you can get Blade with Stoneforge Mystic and Urza's Saga I think the odds are 100% there's a week or two of everyone trying out a GW shell with Basking Broodscale. I've also seen Sadistic Glee pointed out to make it a Pauper player.

Looks like the Blue Tron sickos (it's me, I'm sickos) are eating good from these previews.
Cthonian Nightmare also seems like it must be busted in Modern. If we get a Priest of Gix snuck in with the old card slot or a functional equivalent a new graveyard deck should take off. Stitcher's Supplier into Nightmare seems like it should Go Off.
Also with Horizons sets adding first-printing-in-Commander cards like Kess and Laelia, it really bothers me to have new, non-Modern legal cards in the MH3 Commander decks. Or just... having the M3C decks at all.
