Those are both kinda cool.

This card is good for about two months when all the enchantments that can hit your opponent go away.
It's a Theros card that's also an Opalesence/Replenish throwback. Neat.

Okay this is kind of hilarious. I don't know if its good or not, but I definitely appreciate mashing two classic black spells together
I think the Hierarch will see play. Conjuring is instantly going in my mono-red ETB commander deck.
Well, here is your mana dork at 1 CMC
Also we finally have Bad Reaction to Simochi. Took you long enough, Wizards. Nurse Burn go go go!

That was my first thought as well, but I realized in about ten seconds how stupid that would be

Kind of funny how depowered that card is vs opalescence

None of these cards are good.
Hierarch is especially bad

Opalaescence is a rules nightmare in tons of situations, they don't want it being good.
In 100 words or less, explain how Opalescence and Humility interact with each other, and why.

All of the spoiled cards are simultaneously bad limited and constructed. This has to be a record.

Hahaha my guess is they're all 1/1s?

4x Honored Heirarch, let's go! (Only good on turn 1 on the play)
There's Languish, the PWs, and! ... and! ... and!.... yeah I got nothing.
There's apparently a 10-part land cycle or two 5-parters.
Can't see your quote Krev.

Each Player shuffles his or her hand and graveyard into their library, then draws seven cards. If it's your turn, end the turn

That's funny.
Opalescence then Humility = Your enchantments are 1/1s
Humility then Opalescence = Your enchantments are cmc/cmc s
Why? Layers and timestamps.

Now lets say I cast Replenish, and have both cards enter play simultaneously.
Now lets say I cast Replenish and have 2 Opalescence and 1 Humility Enter play, or 2 Humility and 1 Opalescence.

This should be the official explanation on Gatherer.

I mean today's. Kytheon and Liliana are good, Languish is good (but shitty for MTG) and everything else is garbage.
I could see this being an asshole card in a Modern Affinity deck, though. Vomit your hand, Timetwister, vomit a second hand onto the Battlefield T2. Probably not though. Waiting a turn to do anything is pretty dumb.

I like this a lot actually, the more I think about it

The end your turn thing doesn't seem like a huge deal, but letting your opponent refill as well seems like it makes it crazy situational

My Nekusar deck really didn't need another draw 7, but I'll take it. It's also a cute way to duck an end of turn trigger, though I don't have one in mind at the moment.

I mean, it's not Timetwister Storm combo nutty, but it's still dangerously close. Even without stuff like Leyline of Anticipation I'm wary of this card.

re: Day's Undoing
Shuts down Spell Mastery and Delve, while restocking your hand, plus the decks running this will probably pass the turn to counter stuff anyway. This is gonna see play.
EDIT: And we can skip the Dragon's eot discard your hand trigger! /jank

If they enter play all at the same time you pick the timestamp order so there's a bunch of possibilities.
Written before checking Gatherer:
Opalescence -> Humility -> Opalescence gets you all cmc/cmcs again, I think.
Humility -> Opalesence -> Humility gets you 1/1s. Whenever Humility is last everything is a 1/1.
I think it is always just whatever the last one to come into play that takes the p/t precedence, because they all start to apply before anything loses its abilities.
*checks gatherer* Okay, so for O -> H -> O it says the first Opalescence and Humility are 4/4s but the second Opalescence is a 1/1 but I'm not actually sure why. Because I thought it should in the P/T setting layer get set to CMC, then to a 1/1, then back to the CMC.

I mean, I guess if "casual constructed" is a format you care about, every card is probably good.
I guess Day's Undoing is good in Modern Faeries (every spell in the deck other than Bitterblossom and Thoughtseize is a Flash card or an instant)
Day's Undoing is a terrible name. But the card is at least interesting.
As for Commander, here are my current decks:

I'm talking to Ivan Jen right now about how he feels about the card in ascendancy combo.

Isn't it a nonbo? With Jeskai Ascendency, you get your loot and your untap, but then your turn just ends. And it's sadly worse for Pyromancer's- the resolution of one copy of the spell will exile all the other copies

This set looks pretty bad so far. Seems like since they had less development time they made everything vaguely bad as insurance against under-testing stuff, e.g. a mechanic like Renown can't really be broken ever because by nature its only going to be good in limited.

This card is perfect for blue Affinity decks. You want to throw out your hand asap and its always been weak to sweepers. Now, it's really not. How often are you going to cast a sorcery of this type without you being at the end of your turn anyway? It's also shuts down all the Delve cards, as a nice little side bonus.
Huh. This is a risky one, but I think I'm going to buy a set if they preorder for cheap.

To find the combo, not go off with it. Combo decks have a lot of dead draws by their nature.
It's bulk. And they give the good ones to Evan anyway.
So, outside of some okay EDH stuff and the planeswalkers this set has produced essentially nothing. Not even sure if I'm going to bother with the prerelease for this turd or if I'll just spend that money picking up the few singles I'll be interested in. Maybe the rest of the set is better.
Hierarch is terrible. You cast it t1, hopefully they don't cast a t1 creature so you can then attack with it. And then by t3, you can tap for Mana. That ain't the explosive ramp you are looking for. I'm guessing they will have a spell that gives renown, but it won't be worth playing for this.
