I agree on the goose. It is the only card I preordered so far. It can be had now for about $5. I can see it getting played heavily in standard, so the price may increase after release. I think $5 is fair for an eternal playable mana dork.
Once upon a time I think could be eternal playable, but I'm not sure I want in on the current price. It's best case is great, but otherwise it's kind of a mopey card by legacy standards. Then again, it's a cantrip that dodges chalice. I have a feeling it could be a standard staple, but even then, I can't see it increasing too much in price. I want to play it in simic flash in arena.
Oko is another card I have mixed opinions on. It's not a super powerful card on its own and it's outclassed by the evil blue twins from WAR. The reason I think it will eventually be eternal playable is that I get the feeling food will become evergreen (like treasure). Cheap food generators will be great once a good payoff is printed. That payoff could be lurking in the yet to be spoiled cards. The goose is a safer pick at preorder price. A floor as a mana dork will always be decent.
Royal Scions might be okay in standard/modern phoenix. Other than that, looks on the weak side, because we have an embarrassment of riches at the 3 spot.
Murderous rider is a cool card, but I can only really see it in pox. Even then, it doesn't recur. Creatureless control decks already have Jace (or Wrenn).
Is gingerbrute the first artifact creature that they've printed which has an artifact subtype rather than creature subtypes?

Draw four cards.
If an opponent has 7 or more cards in their graveyard, this costs 3 less.
Uncommon
That seems really good as a 2-of in a control deck. Could see something like Miracles playing it as at least a 1-of.
Miracle is super dead after W6
B Sorcery
Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You may choose a nonland card from the opponent's hand. If you do, opponent exiles that card. If a nonblack card was exiled in this way, exile a card from your hand.
Two potentially relevant cards (the one above this one, and this one).
So uh....fixed Faithless Looting for modern?
Rule of Law is unplayably expensive and Canonist is glass fragile.
This card is great and totally wrecks combo and Omniscience. Good job. Now let’s try Erayo’s Essence
Ponder on my turn.
Brainstorm on your turn.
Chain of Vapor, go off.
I've seen that exact sequence plenty of times with "Rule" effects out. It's a speedbump, nothing more, buys you one turn, maybe, maybe two on the outside in niche cases. There are plenty of better, more versatile options for that job of "buy one turn vs. combo". Even in white this is worse than hitting them with a Silence or Chant halfway through their combo turn.
I love people who chime in with, but there are answers to that card! Yeah. Every card has a card that stops it. When Silence/Chant came out you would have been, storm runs Duress, so they just strip the card from your hand and go off. And your entire point is nonsense, Chant buys you one turn, this new cards forces your opp to have to dig for answers before going off, buying you multiple turns. And this being one mana makes it way better then the other options.
It seems like whenever we get a solid enchantment lately, it's the exact type of effect that standard Enchantress can't play (and can be used against it), like this and Spirit of the Labyrinth. Estrid's Invocation was an exception. I'm gonna test the new card in my weird build that eschews enchantress effects for RiP, Field, Helm, Humility, etc., but that's another story.
