1) A reprint of the Mirage tutors (unlikely but possible)
2) More Oldwalkers as Planeswalker cards
3) Decent 2cmc Mana rocks
The signets? Ruby Medallion et al.? Mind Stone? Or you mean more on the broken side like Sol Ring? 2 = T: add 4 to your mana pool? Never gonna happen, i guess. Pearl Medallion etc, i would also be ok with.
Oops.. I should have explained it further then.. I would have wanted a 2 = 3 to your mana pool and your right that it's not gonna happen anytime soon but stranger things have happened..
Indeed.. It's also quite difficult to find it these days.. I'm also wishing for a reprint of Damnation..
I highly doubt Damnation will be reprinted. FTV:Annihilation was released not long ago and there was just Wrath of God and no Damnation. So I don't think they will give mono-B damnation... (btw, I also wish for the reprint ^^ )
Or a red enchantment that makes all may effects into must effects.
This would be a rules nightmare because of cards that say "You may repeat this process any number of times." It does hate on Ad Nauseum pretty hard though, which would be nice.

While I'm not necessarily agreeing with the enchantment, in your example couldn't you just choose 0 times? You must repeat this process 0 times.
The biggest issue I see is with cards with Kicker and things like Aerie Worshippers, because then you are left with the question "Or else what?"
Things I want:
Mana Rocks
- Reprint the Mirage Diamond cycle, but without the ETB tapped clause (they actually planned on doing this during Scars block, but printed the mana myr instead)
- 3 mana, mana rocks that type for 1 colored mana and one colorless mana. (1R or 1U for example). While strictly better than worn powerstone in any given deck, every deck would be limited by their color identity.
Old Walkers
This is probably the best time to print cards for the oldwalkers. Yeah, some people won't remember them, but if the cards standout on their own for being insanely awesome, then people will become interested in the old lore of the game. If wizards ever intends on going back to Dominaria, this is good to keep interest alive.
Red and White Cards
It has long been acknowledged that Red and White are the worst colors in EDH, doubly so if you take mass land destruction off the table (one of the strongest effects in both of those colors). Give the players a reason to want to play these colors. Feel free to push a little on these colors. Even if wizards doesn't push G, U, or B hardly at all, these decks will still be strong. Introducing new mechanical identity to White and Red that made them more EDH viable would be huge.
NO high-value reprints
It would actually be interesting if wizards put all the "value" on new pushed cards instead of existing staples. Yes, this means we will probably have another TNN, but if colors other than blue get pushed cards at least things will be even.
I want them to print Nantuko Shade as a legendary creature. I'm not picky, I don't want a 6 cmc epic hot sauce general. I just want a nantuko shade in the command zone.....
I agree. We should all only play g/x decks because they are the most objectively fun and anyone who disagrees does not know the truth about EDH. Everyone should just play their decks because interaction beyond high fiving about how many land are in play is unfun and equivalent to casting Stasis while kicking puppies. I for one will never play with anyone who casts tutors, removal spells, blue cards, things I arbitrarily decide I don't like but will probably cast myself later.
NO! What this format does not need is more mana rocks that can be dropped with a turn 1 Sol Ring. We'd be seeing way too many turn 2 Baloths.
That being said, I would like to see a new variety of mana rocks that can double for something else - a la the Signets, but not necessarily a cantrip. Something in the 3CMC range.

I don't know if you are open to spoilers about the new set ...
There are a cycle of mana-rocks coming out for each wedge.
Jeskai Banner - 3 T: Add U, R, or W to your mana pool. URW, T, Sacrifice Jeskai Banner: Draw a card.
Not perfect, you understand, but good enough. Interesting design space, and fine powerlevel for a common.

There's already 36 of them, how bad could a few more possibly be? It's not like anyone plays star compass anyway. The problem is obviously sol ring, not a 2-drop mana rock.
Also, what baloth exactly are you worried about that costs 5? I could see prophet but it doesn't untap mana rocks so it's sort of anti-synergistic.
To be honest, I would be happy with a black Day of Judgement.
I wwould honestly like to see a 4 mana sweeper in all colors.
And green gets... Destroy all fliers?
I could see something like
2GG - Bestial Feast
Destroy all creature without trample
But more on more recent discussion:
I would really prefer no more small mana rocks unless it was like 3 color signets that cost 2 to activate but that is never going to happen.
I would love to see random legends made for this set like a new insect legend or red legendary that scales burn spells to all players or something

Black and white get Wrath or Judgement
Red gets like 10 damage creatures and maybe alternate damage to players to make it different than BA
Blue maybe gets a bounce like Whelming Wave
And green gets... Destroy all fliers?
RRRAshling, the PilgrimRRR

Thran Dynamo would be a good reprint. So would Repercussion.
What about a fixed Consecrated Sphinx that is a must, rather than a may? Or a red enchantment that makes all may effects into must effects.
Cheers!

Skyshroud Claim
Cultivate
counterspell
ghostly prison
