So we've had MM which gave ius a bunch of Modern.Legacy and even Commander staples, and now Theros finally giving us Thoughtseize. That being said, there are still a number of cards in need of a reprinting. What is/are the card(s) you would most likel to see reprinted? They don't need to be specific to Modern or even Legacy. Casual players are allowed to want reprints :D.
A few of mine;
Remand
Damnation - (or a Day of Judgement equivilent)
Aven Mindcensor
Shardless Agent
Baleful Strix

Fetchlands. Because Modern won't be taken seriously until there isn't a 300 dollar price tag for part of a mana base.

This might seem crazy, but the only people who take modern seriously around me are people already playing it. That's not self-sustaining. I would LOVE to play Modern. But I have to look at my magic budget and decide: am I going to skip three months of limited so I can buy 8 cards for a format that's only played in my LGS once a week by the same 6 or 7 players? Or am I going to want to draft every week ad nauseum?

So yeah. Modern? No thanks.

I completely forgot about the fetchlands :takei:
I think all of them should be reprinted - Zendikar and Onslaught.

Do you honestly need the fetch lands? I've been playing Magic for 16 years now, and can count on my hands the number of times I popped a fetch, counting evolving wilds and expanse.

However, this being said, I agree w/ the Zendikar fetches, I thought you ment the Onslaught ones.

Also, stop drafting, buy some lands a bit, and go back too drafting.

Anything that makes attrition combo decks more viable.

I swear they hate Johnny.

Black Lotus.

Maybe I could start a petition of "lotus owners say reprint lotus" and make some waves.

If you're going to go that far, you might as well petition for all of the P9.

If they ever reprint Calcite Snapper, I'll just have to get back into Standard.

Counterspell. I mean, if 2 mana these days can get you a voice of resurgence, it should at least be able to counter one of them.

On that note, I'd be happy with Mana Leak.

Especially since they're using "can't be countered" a lot more liberally these days. I probably couldn't get a half-decent Mono-Blue control list in Standard if my life depended on it.

They should make special proxies that are legal for vintage and casual matches. So now we can get our lotuses and collector's can keep their value.

Force of Will: it's the great equalizer of Legacy: any one stupid keystone card got you down? Same turn combo stomping everything? No it's not, because FoW is here to save the day -- because of the extra card investment to pitch it, you don't use it except when you must. It would serve the same purpose for Modern, making the format healthier overall. And right now, it's painfully expensive: printing it sub-mythic in a modern set would bring it down to comparative sane levels, at least after the initial spike.

Reprint it, don't make it modern legal though.

If lotus gets reprinted, everything else will follow.

force of will is honestly a pretty bad card a lot of the time, in Legacy at least
