DDR? Why not Pump It Up? Most of my friends play it, even I tried it a couple of times, and so it seems superior to me. But sure, you can have both, yeah.
Oh, and that part about Babelfishing the blog got me interested. As a beginner linguist (and a teacher of foreign languages), I wonder what troubles you in Japanese language the most. Is it the kanji?

Why do people think that if we take out all bad rares out of the set, the rare slots they were taking would be filled with amazing staples?
I was half-joking, but no, I wouldn't, because that wouldn't activate Ferocious. Weren't the Temur master elementalists?
I'm talking about the other rakshasa, the one from the intro pack. Also, if some card doesn't fit a cycle, the chances are that there was never a cycle to begin with.
What cycle are you even talking about? Three-color rare creatures? There are at least two of them in each clan, with Rakshasa Visier being the other Sultai one.
I'm just glad that the local Obelisks are not strictly worse than Darksteel Ingot.

You're about six years too late to notice that.
Baloths were never even considered to be green's iconic simply because they don't exist outside of Magic. People don't seem to understand that the iconics exist for non-efranchised players to be an apotheosis of the color's playstyle and philosophy (and no, giving green no iconics is not an option). Hydras are huge creatures that get better with green's mana acceleration, all the other creature types just don't exemplify that as well.
Honestly, the only difference between hydras and, say, dragons, is that the latter got more playable cards as of late. That is not to say that hydras have no playables, but they're on about the same level in terms of creative card design. Then again, people often complain about getting Yet Another Dumb Dragon, like in Innistrad.
The card is obviously good and might make Abzan a thing all by itself, but I just don't understand the discrepancy between the intent and the cards we get.
I believe he's in the process of being filled with death and made strong. Get ready to be reduced to nothing, I suppose?
Storm is broken because for people to actually play the Storm cards, they have to be ridiculously good. There is no middle ground: either no one plays Storm, or it's a format-defining mechanic. And neither of the two options are what Wizards want their mechanics to be.
As for the reasons behind Time Spiral's unpopularity (and as a response to Duke Daemon, as well), Aaron Forsythe has laid it down much better than I ever could:

And while we're quoting MaRo on his opinion on Time Spiral, I might as well post this:

Excuse me for this derailment.
Welp, there goes any respect for all my posts from now on
Now you're just exaggerating. R&D provide the tools for people to make decks with, with only a few rough estimates about the best archetypes. Otherwise, everyone would be playing Firedrinker Satyr right now. Just because they know which cards are more likely to break the metagame doesn't mean they go all Big Brother on us.
And really, the change of focus from OTK combos to synergistic decks is not only more rewarding for a more skilled player, but also makes for less swingy games that don't come down to whether you managed to goldfish your combo or not.
Unsurprisingly, Time Spiral was one of the least popular blocks of its time, and Storm is the single most broken mechanic ever printed.
