Sounds like it's something about the reserved list, as he answered a question on Tumblr by saying "Today's topic du jour, the Reserved list, is one such example."
Now, if the freaking article can load, that'd be great. You know, I remember when I could find and read these things before classes started. Ughh
Making the command zone official ie. emblems go there and they can be dealt with. Game changing yes, exciting not really.
If I recall correctly, Emblems already *do* go to the command zone. They just still can't be dealt with. (Except Karn reset.)
True.
The Command zone is already a real, official zone in the game, and Emblems already go there.
They don't need any rules change to have spells that "deal with" emblems. They just don't print any because they don't want to do that.
408. Command
408.1. The command zone is a game area reserved for certain specialized objects that have an overarching effect on the game, yet are not permanents and cannot be destroyed.
408.2. Emblems may be created in the command zone. See rule 113, "Emblems."
408.3. In the Planechase, Vanguard, Commander, and Archenemy casual variants, nontraditional Magic cards and/or specially designated cards start the game in the command zone. Each variant has its own rules regarding such cards. See section 9, "Casual Variants."

Better throw in a guess so I can be proven wrong. Wizards has decided to shake up Modern by making Onslaught block legal. Mind's Desire is added to the banned list. Onslaught block is scheduled to be reprinted as a whole, like the Alara block foil boosters.
huh... more story lines, more worlds... more stuff in general. new themes, and they can take a few more risks with them, too, because each individual set is smaller now.

I DID say they would print the burn spell(s) needed. xP
True, AND the meta would adjust to the changes, as always.

things I hate:
1. lists.
b. inconsistencies.
V. incorrect math.
2. quotes in signatures
III: irony.
there are two kinds of people in the world: those who can make reasonable conclusions based on conjecture.

I like it.
