More wedge please. All I want is a good RWB general that isn't Kaalia. Don't get me wrong, I love my Kaala sniper rifle, but I want something different. Some GBU generals that aren't boring as hell would be cool, too. Yes, they're all boring. 95% of all Mimeo decks are the same, Damia is 90% goodstuff, and Vorthos is Beater McFacebeat.
Urza, Jaya, Titania, Serra, Bo Levar, and possibly Leshrac are all dead. They cannot get new cards. Teferi on the other hand...
While Urza is cannon dead, it is possible for them to make a card for him, they just need to specify that the version of Urza that appears on the card is from when he was alive a few hundred years before the current story arch.
Similarly, we know Teferi lost his planeswalker spark, so a card depicting him with the walker frame would either need to explain that that he regained it, got a new one, or it is set in the past also.
While Serra's Realm was collapsed to form the Weatherlight engine, it is possible that while the engine was transferred to Karn's body that Serra's Realm became freed and would exist in the current multiverse. Or it's also possible that it still exists within Karn, or sadly doesn't exist at all anymore. Similarly, it could be set in the past.
I don't know that much about Bo Levar, Leshrac, or Titania so I wont talk about them, I was more just listing them off to provide examples of monocolor walkers in various colors.
My big objection is that you say Jaya Ballard is dead. It's very possible that she would still be alive because while a character in Time Spiral claimed that she died, it did not happen on screen so I can see her coming back in a "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" way. Furthermore, we can't even rule Jaya out as a character that could return to standard legal magic, unlike other human planeswalkers who would have supposedly grown old and died in the 100+ years since the mending and the current story (Although Garruk's official age is 137, so there is that), since Jaya is known for having had an amulet that allowed for aging without side effects which she gave to Jodah at the very end of the alliances story. It's not like you just randomly find a powerful object like that on the ground, which means she either could make it herself or knew where/who could make one. It's a reasonable conclusion that Jaya is alive and will return sooner or later, maybe even to standard instead of supplemental products.
I hope they keep reprinting some of the old Commander, Planechase, and now Conspiracy exclusive cards.
Would Sensei's Divining Top cause too much demand for these decks? Is it even played or legal in other formats any more?
Counterbalance thinks it's a pretty nifty artifact.
I'm in the process of building a bruna-deck so an enchantment along the power of eldrazi conscription would be nice to see. Something ridiculously big and beefy for an absurd cost.

I'm not sure how well it could be implemented, but maybe fetchable duals (with basic land subtypes), but with conditions that aren't as feasible for Legacy/Vintage so as to not impact original duals.
Maybe...
Land - Island Swamp
~ Comes into play tapped unless you control a Forest.
Not sure how feasible this would be though, needing to print so many different cards for the various combinations, but it's an idea. Granted this would work for some Legacy and Vintage decks, but I'm not sure if they would still want original duals so the drawback doesn't affect them at all.

commander swamp:
Swamp
tap: add 1 mana of your general's colors
So basically make 5 command towers, one of each basic type. Strictly better than duals in commander, garbage elsewhere.

"I think EDH would be more fun for the majority of participants if players just showed eachother their decks rather than actually playing games out."
They're actually pretty good. You have to bounce a land back to your hand, but they don't enter tapped, so it usually works out ok. The bounce even has the potential to be a good thing, like resetting a Hideaway land for you.
EDIT: Oh wait, what? I could have sworn I remember these being for wedge colors... Yeah, we need some wedge tri-lands.
Urza, Jaya, Titania, Serra, Bo Levar, and possibly Leshrac are all dead. They cannot get new cards. Teferi on the other hand...
They most definitely could get new cards. They may not because WotC says they care about their continuity, which is only sometimes true. A supplemental product would be the only place to print such characters providing they explain that they are dead in the storyline proper.
I for one would love to see more references to Magic's past, cause ya know the story existed a long time before Jace&Co.

More like:
Commander Bayou:
Land - Swamp Forest
(T: add B or G to your mana pool.)
If this land would add mana to your mana pool that is not in your commander's color identity, it adds no mana instead.
In Vintage / Legacy it's a fetchable land that produces nothing, even if they had Urborg out. In Commander, it's a dual land!

If they don't I would be content with Crystal Ball but SDT would be very welcome.... I also would like to see enemy Tailsmans if they are to create new mana rocks.

I like that. Affordable duals that won't step on the toes of collectors. Hopefully Wizards doesn't see that as "too close to a functional reprint" and would be accepting of the idea.

I would also love to see the old legends running free again. I would love to see what wizards would come up for some of the old legends in a new print. I would love to see Urza and Yawgmoth turned into legends as it would be really cool to take who they were and turn them into legendary creatures.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
i would like to see one of the decks to be snow-themed too - maybe a commander that costs less for each snow permanent in play (but also dies easily/to gain an effect and would raise a large commander tax)
a werewolf legend with transform would be amazing. additionally, a commander with transform would be fun.
What would I like to see in Commander 2014? How about including some reprints for Modern. Not making cards legal for Modern, but stuff
like Cryptic Command, etc.
It's difficult to watch Commander and Legacy get all the cool toys, while we have to cross our fingers and hope sets like
Theros don't suck.
Urza, Jaya, Titania, Serra, Bo Levar, and possibly Leshrac are all dead. They cannot get new cards. Teferi on the other hand...

No, they can't get new cards. They all died before The Mending. They never were planeswalkers in the modern sense of the word. So if Wizards cares about their stories at all, then they can't give them planeswalker cards, as they never were the weak planeswalkers that exist today.
I have an idea how they can make 4 Colored Legends without having to make 4 color decks.
Make Wedge Decks like usual but give each new Commander in them an ability that uses a 4th mana color in someway, so like Bosh and his Brother they are technically 4 color commanders but you can always choose to ignore that ability and play them as 3, maybe even make it split mana symbol. So like Rys you can play a mono-green deck with him.
Or a mana cost like
give you all 5 colors but can be built on a 4, 3, 2 or even mono colored base.
have one for each color too. and make their ability something like countering what they do best.
That would be cool but I think letting people splash in all 5 that easily would be problematic.

now as for reprinting old walkers as walker cards; this is a supplemental product; it is not bound by a timeline.

Yes it is not bound by timeline. Yes, they can reprint old legends. But the fact remains that the mentioned oldwalkers were never newwalkers. That isn't just borrowing stuff from earlier in the timeline. That is taking the entire storyline of Magic and directly ignoring it.

As I said before, I'd be surprised if we didn't hear from Jaya Ballard again because her story has a built in explanation for her being immortal or at least able to greatly surpass normal age limitations. The amulet she gave Jodah allowed him to still be alive during Time Spiral, which was thousands of years after the Ice Age.
