I think it would be INCREDIBLE if Wizards were to reprint 2 Filter Lands in each Commander deck. I know the chances of this are about 0%, but their printing would make sure they stay nice and low in price as theyre starting to creep up again, on top of saving land room in the upcoming Modern Masters 2017. We're gonna need some kind of lands to make 4-color Precon Commander decks to work.
I fully except each Commander deck will have a brand new land that comes into play tapped, but taps for 1 of 4 different colors.

I think we can safely drop Narset. She's not going to be worth running with all the aggro that Mardur and Abzan will be bringing and the MASSIVE BEEF that Temur will have.
UWR Midrange is going to curve out with Brimaz/Mantis Rider and be about beasting with value spells and Planeswalkers.

I really feel like Jeskai was shafted this entire set. For a clan based around combat tricks,messing with your opponent and making them "think twice about doing something" they only have 2 combat tricks (Jeskai Charm and Flying Crane Technique). All but 3 of their creatures arent worth playing in Standard (Mantis Rider, Seeker of the Way, and Monastery Swiftspear are the exceptions).
Jeskai Ascendency would be worth playing if it cantripped instead of looting, Narset, Enlightened Master is slightly overcosted (should have been 2URW, not 3URW..or atleast have been a 3/3).
Jeskai could have really benefited from having 1-2 decent 1-2cmc combat tricks that works with their mechanic, which is also very poorly shown. Most creatures with Prowess will never see play because their underpowered to try and balance the mechanic, which thinks you'll play 1-2 noncreatures per turn so their cost doesnt seem too large, which is hard do to in a deck that cannot replenish their hand and all their creatures are super weak compared to their casting cost.
All the best cards in the colors of URW ended up as WR in Mardu or UR in Temur.
To be honest....I dont enjoy it either. Im still tweeking the deck here and there, especially with the noncreature spells.
I really hope a good 1 or 2 drop is revealed for Jeskai so I can have an early game so I can take out the Generators. I also like two new Draw spells for Sultai...not sure which I want, the Dig 7 for 2 cards or the Delve Recall.

Another Rare Snapcaster printing would drop his price back down to 2013 prices (around $25-30ea)

Always looking to improve the build and remove any cards that are good, but could be replaced for more synergy or balance.
