This is my first submission, based on "signature spells". The idea was to be spells that your commander, not you, would cast. All of them require your commander to be on the battlefield, and they can be retrieved from the graveyard every time your commander rises again. I am not sure about the right wording for those abilities (I would like them to give commander damage, for example), nor about correct casting costs. Would love to hear your thoughts.
1) They made it look that it was more about the cross-IP than the mechanically unique cards.
2) then they started to say that - Nexus aside - those cards are ok.
3) And there wasn't ANY kind of apologies, even in the ways of "We're sorry about the way we communicate this, but we're doing it anyway", which would be already terrible.
It's really uncomfortable to watch the stream. Mark is trying to make this as "something they always said they would be doing", and Aaron is clearly annoyed in being in this stream.
[edit]
And now, Aaron is basically confirming what The Magic Historian said. What a terrible damage control.
This thread has two months on MTG Nexus, and I haven't seen it being discussed here:
{1} {U} - Instant
Counter target Spell unless its Controller pays {1}.
Transform: When xyz resolves, put it into Play transformed.
Side2:
Land
Enters the Battlefield Tapped
{T} : Add {U}
----------
Land
Chose a Side, when xyz comes into Play.
Side1:
{T} : Add {W}
Side2:
{T} : Add {U}
----------
There might be another one, but that one could be a M21 leak as well:
{1} {U} - Instant
Counter Target Spell unless its Controller pays {2}.
If there are 8 or more Cards in its Controllers Graveyard instead counter that Spell and Scry 2.
I totally understand and support Mark's decision of not talking about the balance issues as it's not his area. But has ANYONE addressed that issue in a more direct way? It's not his job to do it so, but it should be someone's job, shouldn't it?
Maybe 6 to include a 5-colored Odin?

They managed to do that with the Secret Lair, instead. That's one good Monday for Wizards.
Also the lands part make the spoiler about double faced lands sound more true.
