Lastly I think that this move to more conservative art makes the game less engaging and fun. Case and point is my favorite Legendary Radha, Heir to Keld. Her first card is just a perfect example of sexy confident woman without objectification. The angle and facial expression are perfect in empowering the character along with some awesome flavor text, heck even the angled art gave the feeling of see her through the eyes of a dead or dying man. But the New card Grand Warlord Radha feels flat and emotionless her pose is not dianamic and her facial expression makes her look she has zero emotion, even the flavor text is bland.
I completely disagree. Not everything needs to have sexualised or violent art. It makes me actively not enjoy the game more, but each to their own.
The same with Radha. I never enjoyed her old art, but her new one shows her as more intimidating.
why vault over sol ring? At least in common usage, sol ring is way more powerful.
Why not all three?
I think banning fast mana really hurts W, R, and RW, while letting G get further ahead.
As umtiger said, it's the uninteractible threats that ruin the games, not the fast mana.
The best (supported) example it Prime Time and Sylvan Primordial. Strong cards, but broken with DEN. Yet is was the threat, not the enabler that got banned.
So, imagine the EDH Rules committee came to you and said that you alone can save the EDH banlist. Only your experiences can provide the perfect list. You have complete control over what gets banned and unbanned with two caveats:
1. You must keep the banlist at 41 cards (not counting Un cards, Ante, or Conspiracies),
2. In order to ban something, you must unban something.
What would you ban or unban? And more importantly, why?
My biggest issue with this card is that it kills Isperia. I just put together a list for sphinx tribal with Yennett as the commander. Here I was thinking I was guaranteed a new legend to add to the deck.

Legendary Creature - Human
Creatures cannot attack.
All creatures gain: "0: this creature fights target creature an opponent controls," and: "0: this creature deals damage equal to its power to target opponent. Only activate this ability if that opponent controls no untapped creatures."

I was completing a WOTC survey (Here: (https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4534974/pasw3en?src=mxheader), thanks to KingChewie), and was writing about the reprints in COMM18. The biggest complaint being that there were no good reprints. This led me to thinking about what reprints could go into COMM18. Chromatic Lantern and Cyclonic Rift being strong contenders.
So that had be wondering, since both of these cards (Lantern and Rift) were cards originally printed in RTR. Could they be coming back in the Guild Kits? We've already seen that Deathrite Shaman and Abrupt Decay are being reprinted which are fairly decent reprints, although not at the price of either Rift or Lantern.

These are surprisingly good. I may be picking them all up.
And what would you unban?
1. You must keep the banlist at 41 cards (not counting Un cards, Ante, or Conspiracies),
2. In order to ban something, you must unban something.

Or find your local game store and ask when they have an Open House which is specofically for people to learn to play.
Bounty Agent for Gisela voltron/hatebears
Mission Briefing for Kess storm
Omnispell Adept for Kess and Jodah (Expropriate for 3, anyone?)
Doom Whisperer for most of my things that have black in them
Price of Fame general hate is generally useful
Niv Mizzet, Parun I think for Kess.
Maybe:
Dream Eater for Yennett sphinx tribal
Swiftblade Vindicator for Gisela
Expansion//Explosion for Kess
Invert//Invent for Kess.
Damn.
I was so close!
Very happy for the reprint, though.

Any guesses as to the game?
Next: Unicorn (or horse) tribal legend!
Wizards has been seeding their other products with cards to update COMM precons. Satyr Enchanter, Scapeshift, Crucible of Worldsin M19, Kor Spiritdancer, Land Tax, Mycosynth Lattice in Battlebond. Last year, we had tribal decks with cats and vampires being part of the selection and cat tribal in Amonkhet and vampires in Ixalan.
So that had be wondering, since both of these cards (Lantern and Rift) were cards originally printed in RTR. Could they be coming back in the Guild Kits?

What do you think?
Glad to see you can make that judgement about all Jump Start cards having only seen 3 commons.
For me, there are three:
Elves
Artifacts
+1/+1 counters
Mostly due to having decks that do these things for so long, I don't really feel like I want to lay them again.
I had Ezuri/Rishkar, Ghave and Zegana, Daretti/Breya
