Feels like with spoiler season never ends . . .
Apex of Power 7RRR
Sorcery
Exile the top seven cards of your library. Until end of turn, you may cast nonland cards exiled this way.
If this spell cast from your hand, add ten mana of any one color.

A bunch of new stuff, although most of it is either filler or is overcosted crap.
New Planeswalker, although I can't see how she would be better than Nissa at this cost:
The only thing that stood out to me as a big maybe is this (for Soldier Stompy):
Probably not really any practical use for legacy, but I liked Desecrated Tomb:
Artifact - 3
Whenever a creature leaves your graveyard, put a 1/1 bat token with flying into play.
Good for quirky dredge builds or zombie/reanimator decks (not griselbrand ones, but zombardment, stuff like that). Maybe some fringe with embalm/eternalize in standard. Decks that involve ichorid would get 2 bats per activation.
Seems kind of fun.
Worth paying attention to the 3 mana look at top x cards and grab one of type creatures that mayb e a cycle. Depending on abilities, and creature type (obviously) red could be goblin playable.
Infernal Judgement B
Instant
Exile target colorless creature. You gain life equal to its power.
. . . SB if Eldrazi or Affinity ever become DTB again?
Nexus of Fate is interesting. It's a 7 mana Time Walk (bad) but it's an Instant and it self-recurs into your library (good).
Seven mana Instants have dominated Standard pretty recently. I can see this being very, very powerful in control shells.
This is for Standard and Modern obviously, not Legacy.
Reddit seems to be losing their mind that the buy a box is a playable card, and it seems to be incredibly strong in the existing Teferi decks in Standard. I can't imagine this will go well if the card becomes a standard staple.
Militia Burgler & Mentor of the Meek might find his place in D&T and Demon of Catastrophes in some spicy NicFit or the Gate. It is great the Demon does not trigger from Aether Vial.
Turn 4, 6/6 flying, trample, no downside -> Yes Please
Militia Bugler
2W
Creature - Human Soldier
Vigilance
When Militia Bugler enters the battlefield, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card with power 2 or less from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
2/3
Mentor of the Meek
2W
Creature - Human Soldier
Whenever another creature with power 2 or less enters the battlefield under your control, you may pay 1. If you do, draw a card.
2/2
Demon of Catastrophes
2BB
Creature - Demon
As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
Flying, trample
6/6
It's a reprint lul
Edit: I'm not willing to call the buyabox card 'very strong' at this stage but the fact that it's constructed playable at all is a concern (unlike the RW Minotaur Legend)
WotC has insisted that the PW deck cards and Buyabox Cards and Chinese Duel Deck cards will all be useless in constructed but they have clearly demonstrated that they aren't the best judge of this metric with the swath of recent standard bans.
I'm not overly disappointed in the bans themselves because I appreciate there are inherent risks when trying to make interesting and powerful cards, I just wish they would realise that they are far from perfect in this regard and therefore shouldn't try to release 'weak' cards through such limited channels
Definitely a way for Jund to have a little more business against Tron/Eldrazi, a historically bad matchup.
The Act-on-Impulse-on-Steroids that costs 10 mana saw a little discussion in the Ruby Storm thread, but a more exciting card for that deck recently is Bonus Round.
