It's strange, there are only 7 planeswalkers in the format and only two of them are arguably any good. And no Jaces at all.

I'd argue otherwise. Dack's the obviously useful one. Nahiri and Daretti are also going to find their ways into decks most likely since they're value town. Garruk may also be an alternate win condition for elf combo/beatdown.

Soldier Stompy comes in and just plays a suppression field turn 1 to just end the game entirely. It's moments like that that just make Legacy so lovely.

Punishing Abzan

Some guy just won with a non-blue deck. I know they call it Abzan, but it has a nice mix of white hate bears and the Jund advantage engine.

Actually, it's more Maverick with a touch of punishing fire in there and the ability to sideboard into a lot of hate bears. Life from the Loam is really good.

Jeskai Ascendancy definitely got various hurrahs throughout the competitive scene, it was just never a dominant deck. For cool and powerful rare that never saw play, I think more people would go for Empty the Pits. Everyone was hyping that up.

Hopefully they use this as an excuse to reprint certain expensive lands not on the Reserved List(obviously not in Standard necessarily, but more copies of, say, Wasteland in circulation would be nice).

Wasteland would just be taking the entire table that Modern is delicately set up upon and just flipping it over. Even if they don't develop for Modern, it just isn't going to happen.

In the realm of absolutely loving weird, my friend showed me this recent post on the competitive magic reddit. I don't know, I'm not sure if it's really notable, it's just odd. I'd have a crack at what the encrypted message is, but I'm currently at work.

It's not an encrypted message, it's their public PGP key that you would use if you wanted to send them an encrypted message or file. I'm assuming this is someone that's super-paranoid about anything on the internet and wants all emails to be encrypted so that Wizards/the NSA can't spy on them and figure out who's behind this secretive speculation scheme.

Yeah, I realized that after the fact.

The guy isn't claiming this is for money, but ha ha, right. There's even a few links in the comments about earlier messages across the internet involving the same guy trying to pay someone to destroy cards for him. I have to wonder if this guy just lives in a single room with nothing but a computer, a mail slot, and a toilet.

Creating an EDH deck after a recent burglary left me with hardly anything left.

I've got Derevi, some mana rocks, mana web, winter orb, and some other pieces for control.

What I need is a reliable way to get some critters out and trigger the untaps with Derevi. So far I've got Marshal's Coup but it would toast the Commander/Prophet/Seedborn, etc.

Have you considered Aether Vial? Depending on how much your creatures cost and where they sit in a curve, it could do you a lot of good. Also, if you've got a lot of mana rocks, there's Tezzert the Seeker and Unwinding Clock.
