I like the edict cards a lot. Flashback is a bit heavy, but the sheer fact you CAN flashback it is very good.

Good card, glad it has new art.
But this should have been Psychatog's slot.

Strictly better than the Chainer's Edict art.

2-for-1 at a very reasonable cost. You get a standard edict at a standard price, but you get a second firing if the game goes long.

Very powerful card. Comes out early to stall aggro, then you have that ammo in your graveyard which most decks cant get rid of.

Needed new art. Got it.
It's....I don't know how to rate it XD
It's not 'particularly EPIC' compared to lots of the high-end (Akroma's Vengeance) and BUSTED-bargain end (Swords to Plowshares and esp. Dark Ritual), but it IS probably better than we will ever get for Standard again, it MIGHT be playable in Modern, and it's Obviously between good and great in Commander because the games go long.
This and Akroma's Vengeance were once considered completely normal and fair. Cool-but-also-Fair. I guess I'm slightly sad *that* they DO belong in the Vault because cards like these are often either weaker at same mana, or for *different* mana (like more colors, or more of the same color), you can get ultimately much stronger cards for more commitment and rarity. :/ They are pretty old. o.O

Pick15: ....no. Sorry...no. :/
I happen to LOVE Psychatog-age Magic. :P I haven't even PLAYED it a lot? But it sounds like that Era-and-Back were very much like Old School Mario Bros., Pacman, and AD&D.
The game just gets faster and harder until you die. There is no winning. o.O That...is not everyone's favorite way to have fun, and in fact, the Happy Feeling I get from going through the Tomb of Horrors is NOT Fun...it's Relief. :3 And Accomplishment? So much pain...:O So much horror....:O
Those games' purpose have the same purpose as WAR. :P To make people stronger and to make you happy if you are alive when it's over. :)
Psychatog is from that Era. Now, the Vault cards....they All have the Modern Card Frame. A lot of the FTV: Exiled stuff is Core Staple effects at steeply undercharged mana costs. They can be used in essentially Modern Decks though (not literally, but they fit into decks whose strategy is Midrangey or Aggro-y if you want to. But Psychatog? He sends a very diff... (see all)
