I was wondering what cards you guys wanted to see reprinted in future sets. Whether its because they need new art and border done, or because you want them in standard again. Lets be reasonable though- no third set of shocklands and such...
For example, for aesthetic reasons, I really want to see a new-bordered (M15), new art Kird Ape. That has to be one of my favorite cards, but white borders don't do it for me and I dont want to shell out big bucks for a FTV version. Also, DD cards don't count.
For Constructed/Standard reasons, I wanna see a reprint of Tethered Griffin. In fact, that card would probably have been broken if it was printed during Innistrad or RTR block, with all the hexproof-auras decks around.
I would like to see Mother of Runes, Goblin Sharpshooter, and Gempalm Incinerator reprinted for Modern. All of these cards can be incredibly good. They each help to enable certain strategies, but are not so good as to be auto-includes when you're running those colors.
I want Wasteland for modern, but the odds of that are nihil.

Even though I already have several copies of each, I'd love to see old border judge foil reprints of Snapcaster Mage and Liliana of the Veil someday.
I'd also like to see textless full-art promos return eventually.
Anyhow, the best I can come up with myself is a game in the top 8 of a PTQ back during Urza block in which we were starting game 3 with time already expired, so the tiebreaker rule was that whoever had more life after 3 turns would win. And I lost to... healing salve.
Original dual lands and power 9 as well as every single reserved list card worth money as well as the ones that aren't worth much at all (here's looking at you pygmy hippo.)

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
As far as reprints go, I've often been curious just what would happen if every non-reserved list card not currently in Modern were reprinted in a set and then brought into Modern. I wonder how Modern would change as a result, and if it would be a change for the better.

so you mean, exactly like Legacy except without duals?
Sticking to 'Official Reprint Policy' compliant suggestions here.
In a Modern legal set: Counterspell (would be fine in Standard too, just for a short period of time); Tarmogoyf, Clique and ZEN fetches.
In a non-Modern set: Mana Drain and Force of Will. Particularly the former - if it's reprinted in a set that's much more widely printed than Legends was, the decision as to whether the card should remain banned in Legacy could be made on the basis of power level alone, not influenced by card availability.
In an MTGO specific release: Hurkyl's Recall, Wasteland, Rishadan Port, Misdirection, Stifle.
In a non-tournament-legal printing (i.e. gold bordered): All ten Revised dual lands. (Yes, this IS compliant with the Official Reprint Policy's stance on cards on the Reserve List).
Edit: And as for the cards I never want to see in Modern: The 'big three' efficient mana denial cards, Stifle, Wasteland and Sinkhole. I love those cards in Legacy, where more powerful cards exist to keep them in check. Not in Modern though.

Well, that's more or less what I wonder. I mean, it wouldn't be EXACTLY like Legacy but without duals, because there's much, much more on the Reserved list besides duals. But if everything that wasn't on the reserved list that currently isn't in Modern got a reprint, what would that do to modern? I have no idea, but I often wonder.
Noble Hierarch, ZEN Fetches (crossing my fingers for Spring), some more Modern goodies that are $25+ at the moment. Wizards has been pretty good with reprinting stuff in recent sets, looking forward to what they'll have in store for us next.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
