I'm furious that they didn't give blue a legend. Sure, Narset's a planeswalker and that's cool, but that new open blue slot belonged to Tasigur. They set him up with cards mentioning him and making him a villain in the storyline only to not print him? What the eff, wizards.
I'm furious that we don't get a new blue legend. Every other color got one. I was counting on Taigam. He's referenced in several cardnames and flavor text and would be a perfect fit for the hole Narset left when she became a planeswalker.
High Priest of Penance has super deathtouch
Children of Korlis can save your or enable Necropotence life paying shenanigans and gets itself back in the yard
Wall of Omens draws a card
Keening Apparition kills an enchantment and gets itself back in the yard.
The set is really underwhelming, I agree with almost everyone in that regard. I'm especially sad at the lack of a usable counterspell. It wouldn't kill anyone to reprint Mana Leak. All the anti-blue hate cards are pretty great, but the blue hate card is terrible. Not happy that hexproof is back, either. Like blue needed to be kicked while it was down.

The few standouts are, in my opinion, Young Pyromancer, Imposing Sovreign, Xathrid Necromancer, Ogre Battledriver, and Primeval Bounty.
