Can you say whether there are plans to release a new "Planes of Planechase" article for the 2012 edition, whether as part of the new flavor/story column or as a standalone feature?
First request I've heard for it. Do you think a lot of players are expecting this? Might be too late / not timely enough at this point.
There seemed to have been a lot of buzz about it.
It might be too late now to hit the full net of players admitedly, but I think we'd like to see it done at least.
As for the art that I know people are tired of?... Pacifism, for one. (Anecdotal data go!)

It might be too late for a Planes of Planechase II article, but it's never too late for "The Known Multiverse II".
… and then, the squirrels came.

Mutliverse as it were.
Still one of my favorite articles Brady. Seriously.

Why do only one third of Liliana's cards actually make use of her specialty in necromancy?
That bugs me, too, and we're working on focusing her "spell suite." The problem is that early on the "Lorwyn 5" were trying to be both interesting characters and 'poster-children' for the five colors, and Liliana in particular has gotten a grab-bag of black stuff rather than the necromantic focus she should have. As time passes and we realize that (a) Planeswalkers need to feel distinct from each other, and (b) we'll be doing a lot more of them, it has become clear that each character needs a much more defined spell suite than we thought they needed five years ago.
Good to know you've thought about this. So, since the only Liliana card which used real necromancy was her first, does that mean you're trying to move her away from being a necromancer? I like her latest incarnation, where she seems to specialize in the use of Shades  and the production of mana to feed them. Is Liliana becoming a Shade user instead?

a Terisiarean predator that fed on the dead.
That's a scavenger, Brady.
Is Ugin currently alive?
All players and readers know is what's been published.
That would be "yes, but it's a secret" then.
Anyway, what determines the colours of animals? Strictly speaking all nonsapient creatures should be green, really, but that would be pretty weak. Would eusocial insects be white?

Echoing this For Great Justice.
Obviously, we're only a subset of the fandom, but I can't think of a single regular poster here who hasn't shown at least SOME interest in such a followup article.
And as to your question about Uncharted Realms, I'm personally loving it! The only complaints I've seen floating around have been people whining about not getting a story about their favorite character yet. And considering that there are only two stories in the series so far, I think we can safely dismiss those people's opinions as kinda dumb...
The Secret History of the Lhurgoyf is hilarious. Thanks for sharing that.

Is there ever, or has there ever been, a desire to push certain story important cards competitively?
Yes. For example, given that card power and character appeal highly correlate for most players, I believe it's crucial for our most important characters to get cards that are at least not weak. Specifically, I talked to the Worldwake development team more than once about ensuring Jace, the Mind Sculptor  wouldn't turn out weak or unplayable . . . .
Whups.

Your irascibility will be rewarded with a revision. It's a predator that's supernaturally strengthened by the remains of its prey.

Do the residents of Lorwyn have British accents?
Does creative any control over the mechanical direction certain colors take? Like "black gets flash in this block" or "only creature type X gets flying"
If enough of us complained loudly enough, would Gisa and Geralf get cards in a side product or potential Innistrad 2: How Edgar got his Groove Back?
How many Beebles does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Are there any creature types you've crusaded against never bringing back?
