Valakut isn't banned in Modern anymore. 4 Valakut, 4 Thespian's Stage and 4 Vesuva seems like a good start to a deck.

The root of ravnica's problem 
The Dimir are more insidious than ever.
I liked this short, simple story for a this offbeat card.

I really liked how the writer autocarded to cards with relevant flavor text, that was really cool. I like the card too. Good thing Cloudpost  is banned eh?

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Loved the story, especially since I read the original Ravnica series.
The card is neat and definitely useful in environments with lands worthy of copying.

Hee. A lovely story - more quiet and reflective than some, but that's appropriate: life in a city isn't all dramatic events (as it were), sometimes you're just tkaing time to look back and contemplate the way things were and the way things are now. The card is delightful. In our casual metagame it'll be very strong: most decks include 3-4 of the original Ravblock karoos ( Boros Garrison  and friends), so this will often be a 2-mana land that doesn't bounce one when it comes into play. I love that the revisit to Ravnica includes some cards that just show the everyday parts of city life. (I like the more plot-bearing cards too, and I wouldn't want to lose them; but it's nice to have a mix.)

yea, its nice to just see a normal day: when the most important thing on the beat was an argument over whether a watermelon was ripe, and you watch a play in the afternoon with your uncle.
seems cool, and satisfies another half of my vorthos
