I wonder about that, since some of the cards relate to 40K specific types, aka what used to be the "Lady of Proper Etiquette" problem where black-border Magic rules needed to support some level of silver-border silliness. They may pick and choose cards that are mechanically unrelated to this IP pollution, because the way cards work "CARDNAME" is allowed to be changed without functionally altering the cards despite the text changing. Yeah, you can say "Tyranids are Beebles in Magic world" but it's more overhead. Also, the issue then is that that adds the issue of "can I play both" which matters since the big format is singleton. It would have worked fine if they'd done the Godzilla treatment from the start, and they could still do that retroactively as they did the Stranger Things. It's slightly worse for a spell card where you're more likely to want 2 in the 99, whereas the ability to understand it for a legend seems slightly easier. Sure, to have this off-the-card errata is more viable in 2023 than it was in 1997 or whatever but it's still a bit messy. Also, there's a lot more of them; there are apparently 37 Tyranid typed cards, for instance. At that point, you're practically reprinting the entire precon which might change the viability of that as a product. This is regardless of whether you think you should believe Wizards when they say anything.

Gets her out earlier and draws hate that would otherwise be directed at my Rhythm of the Wild or Panharmonicon. It shares a drop slot with Rhythm, but I'm never unhappy to see either of them on my turn 3.

I'm assuming we're going to get a "Universes Beyond Masters" type set in 2030 to magic-ify and reprint a bunch of cards.

One thing I liked about my build back when I had it is all the counterspells that are actually good to cascade into. Things like Spelljack (just counter Maelstrom Wanderer and cast it again!), Remand (back to my hand to recast), Venser, etc. I also found that sometimes I'd run out of threats, especially after dumping a lot of permanents out and getting board wiped, so I'd include a Memory's Journey and Loaming Shaman to restock my deck.

The Wernog combos don't rely on the partner being anything specific so you can get the colors you need. Cecil is just a good commander imo, full stop, slightly overshadowed by their being so many strong grixis commanders Othelm there are ways to make him untap over and over, like corridor monitor (yes you'd need other pieces as well as the color identity).

Ah gotcha. Yeah grixis is ridiculously competitive when it comes to commander choice, but ultimately I don't think it matters too much and boils down to preference. If you want bleeding edge grixis action, you're probably on RogSi anyway, but pretty much anything else is just a matter of taste and how you want to win opposed to when. You can probably do just as well with Cecily as you could with Cormela, Anhelo, Evelyn, Inalla, and so on. Probably outclassed by Kess and Kraum/Tevesh, but yeah.

The one common I really wanting, Crawling Chorus, wasn't in my pre-release or fatpack. Thankfully someone gave me a foil one just because I was talking about wanting one. Iit was foil because he gets rid of or trades his foils b/c they strain his eyes to play with. TBH I'm not a foil fan either usually but the crawling chorus look pretty cool with some rainbow sheen to its creepy faces. edit: Would a card like Drop of Honey (during your upkeep destroy creature with lowest power, if tie you choose) but it only affected a player or each player who attacked you last turn, be OP at 2 CMC?

I need to bring the dockside chat back for one sec because I need to know if I am totally off base. Even at the upgraded precon level of power is it abnormal for there to be at least 5 dockside hits by turn 3? And while that isn't oh my god win the game it's still a very good rate of return.

It depends on the decks you're playing with, I have a mardu partner artifact aggro/tokens deck that's fairly mid on the power scale but will regularly have 3-5 artifacts on the board on turn 3, which makes dockside way more powerful against it than other similarly powered decks.

I'm tentatively putting together a deck with Mondrak, Glory Dominus as commander. I'm thinking my focus should be token swarm, with a side of poison. (I pulled a decent number of cards that make Phyrexian Mites in the pre-release). Does this sound viable?

Totally, already just been trying to shove Mondrak and friends into existing token decks and it's been great. Adding them to the faerie deck I'm building and a custom aristocrats deck I'm brewing. If you also lean into corrupted a bit shouldn't be too hard to activate on one or more players.
