So, I'm seeing the spoilers for JtN, and it's looking pretty awesome. There are a ton of crazy stuff for non-standard formats.
Dictate of Kruphix - EDH Staple primary due to Niv Mizzet but also drawing cards is awesome. I'm calling it now. Get yours in foil today!
Launch the Fleet/Ajani's Presence - Corner cases in standard.
Godsend - Possible player in Legacy, primarily because it fights TNN.
Extinguish All Hope - EDH playable. Black gets another Damnation. Only issue is it is slightly too expensive.
Eidolon of the Great Revel - Easily Legacy/Modern playable. The only problem is he's a 2/2, which dies to any removal of which an insane amount is played in all formats he's legal in.
Dictate of the Twin Gods - EDH in red. I've always loved Furnace of Rath, and this is even better!
Dictate of Karametra - Possible playable in EDH. How hard to you want to push your mana?
Eidolon of Blossoms - The one card I wish they had pushed the power level on. 2GG is too expensive for a creature that dies to anything. 1GG and we have a card to build a deck around.
Kruphix's Insight - YAY! Too expensive for constructed but awesome in EDH (specifically my Bant Enchantments deck).
Gold Gods - I'm not quite sure how to value these as of yet. Keranos has implications in control decks. U/W/r with Keranos? Iroas is definitely what R/W aggro wants. Kruphix is much slower than Omnath, and I think think it's playable.
The new Ajani is very interesting, right on the edge. There may be a R/G/W Monster/Planeswalker deck.
Mana Confluence - I hate functional reprints. They reprinted City of Brass
The art is *amazing*. If they did this correctly, the art is going to look INSANE in foil. I typically dislike foils, but I totally want to make sweet sweet love to this card in foil.
Now that I've nutted over Mana Confluence, let's get down to play ability: acceptable. I want to try R/W with Boros Reckoner, Ash Zealot, Brimaz, Precinct Captain, and Hammer of Purphoros. There are two questions that need to be answered: 1) How bad is the mana going to be? 2) How amazing is Hammer in this deck? Soldier of the Pantheon and Firedrinker Satyr in the same deck? Can this seriously be done and how suicidal is this?
