Am I reading Strixhaven Stadium correctly in that if you get in with 10 creatures at once, they lose? That kinda means they all gained Infect in a sort of strange way, in which case I expect lots of complaints from bad EDH players.

Yes, that's correct.

Can I get three attacks in on different players then tap/untap the Stadium to win the game in EDH? The wording isn't super clear there.

Yes, if you can untap the stadium at instant speed 9 times per player than you can do that.

Ah, on second read I see that the lose the game effect is tied to combat damage, so I dunno if you can actually clear the table, I was thinking about using it as an alt wincon for Krenko.

If you hit one player with 28 different creatures, and two other players with one creature each, you can stack all the triggers in such a way that they all lose.

I don't read it that way. To me it reads that you'd resolve the first trigger, put a 29th counter on and then with "ten or more" counters you would "remove them all" and the player would lose, leaving it with 0 counters when the next trigger goes to resolve.

Obviously 10 of them need first strike, 10 of them need no strike rules and 10 of them need last strike.

When your attacking creatures damage three players at once, you put 30 triggers on the stack in an order you choose.
You choose (top to bottom of stack):
10 against player 1 (kills player 1)
9 against player 1 (still gains counters because they're your triggers and they don't target the now-gone player 1)
1 against player 2 (kills player 2)
9 against player 1
1 against player 3 (kills player 3)

i actually feel like the acceptance letter is this, and that the stadium is just a blood sport with no relation to quidditch, since there isn't a mechanic that arbitrarily puts 15 counters on it

It's kind of good with Narset, besides that casting it at sorcery speed usually means they still get one card and you would then have access to blue's card draw. Otherwise good!

Well, yeah and it's effectively a free draw three with Hulbreacher, but blue/white isn't hurting for asymmetrical draw.

Quite literally, the only color combination that would want to play it is mono-W, and it's only good if you have Alms Collector out.

As ~ enters the battlefield, choose a nonland card name.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell with the chosen name, the opponent loses three life and you draw a card.

A 3/2 for 2 that occasionally puts you up a card and pressures your opponent into sub-optimal plays is solid enough on it's own but seems like there's enough effective, cheap discard in Historic now to give this guy some legs.

Curious to see what the rest of the Orzhov stuff in this set looks like.

The arts pretty small but to me it looks a lot like a flying around in the air sport, which is more directly a reference. Completely possible the art is something different, would prob help if there was an hd version

During the preview stream they made a point of calling out the sport specifically and explaining it is about using magic and blowing up the enemy’s tower (lol) to knock a mascot off. I think this is the only reference to it on the cards we’ve seen so far, but I suspect (or they might have said) that the commander decks are going to be themed around it. Don’t know enough about Quidditch to know if it’s similar but tbqh I don’t care!!

Given that 'you're not allowed to use magic' is like the only rule of quidditch, I'ma call this just Football, American.

Funnily enough I’m pretty sure one of the not stupid extended Harry Potter lore answers is literally that American Quidditch is more violent and lets you use magic (within reason).
