Bought 2 box, notables include
2 aetherlings
3 blood scrivener
2 pyrewild shaman
2 advent of wurm
2 blood baren of vizkopa
3 gaze of granite
1 lavinia of the tenth
1 master of creulty
3 notion thief
4 obzedat's aid
1 ral zarek
1 render silent
1 sire of insanity
2 voice of resurgence
Oh and duals take the place of the land card so there is decent possibilties of double rares plus you aren't getting shafted on the new cards from the reprint of the duals from previous sets.
Considering what I pulled, I may be playing some kind grixis animator (breaking // entering sounds super intriguing along with snap casters and izzet charms) or esper solar flare kind of deck in the near future.

The first thing that stands out for me is the three Notion Thiefs. I might try to incorporate those into something good.
The second thing I notice are the two Advent of the Wurm and the two Voice of Resurgence. If you can somehow manage to get either of those up to four, you could have something there.
Blood Scriviner is probably going to see a lot of play in the Zombie shell.
If you want to go rogue, you could try for some sort of weird reanimator deck with Obzedat's Aid, putting something like Omniscience into play.
If you need other standard stuff, I'd love to acquire the Ral Zarek for my cube.

Pat, is there any way I could acquire the two Voice of Resurgence from you?

Now when you say acquire you mean permanently, correct? Then I'd have to say no because I'll likely use them across standard and maybe even into legacy/modern should I find a deck in those colors that I'd be interested in playing. I believe they will be useful beyond standard and will likely go up. The Voices are certainly in the colors I like playing.
If on the other hand you are looking to borrow, then I don't mind.
As for Ral Zarek, I am playing around with a few ideas and may actually want to acquire a set sooner or later. Hopefully no one finds a use for him in the mean time and the price goes down, in which case I will need him come rotation as there is bound to be something fun to untap with him. Otherwise he would be edh fodder. I guess what I'm saying is not at this current moment.

I think Travis is looking to purchase but I'll let him speak for himself.
Pat Ral Zarek is being used currently in UWR lists and URB lists, I think his price will probably stay put for a little while at least (he's currently about $20 on tcgplayer). He's really good from what I've seen and I expected about as much. He fits all the bills you want for a planeswalker - protects himself, can use his minus ability twice without plussing, costs 4 mana, accelerates you, and has a sweet ultimate. He's pretty good. His only real problem is that he has competition at the 4 slot with Jace, Architect of Thought which is probably just better most of the time depending on your build.

Yeah I was definitely looking to either trade or purchase them, but I can understand not wanting to part with them just yet.
EDIT: Ral Zarek is definitely on par with Jace AOT in terms of power level. I see him as being very close to Ajani Vengeant, with some minor subtle differences.

I've managed to acquire two Voices via eBay, so at least between us we have a set now.
