as long as there's new cards added like a legendary jellyfish creature, or a jellyfish-like planeswalker, or a tribal jellyfish card, or even an old jellyfish reprint like Man-o'-War  , I'll take it.
So you want Jellyfishlauncher  back?

Too bad he's dead though. But for more flavor the planeswalker itself would have to be jellyfish-like, although the chances of that happening anytime soon is like 0.00000001%. Then again, the creative team did come up with Emrakul after all...

and many of the cards are reprints, especially the MacLands.
Why do you say this like it's a bad thing? It's pretty nice that you can invest in core set duals and know you'll be able to use them reliably.
Anyway since that chandra pic is the only thing we know of M14 right now (right?), everything might happen.

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?

What would be nice would be a set like the current sets, mechanics wise, but with old flavor.

My main point is that fewer reprints in a core set would be nice now that the M10/M11/M12/M13 series has four consecutive 'very similar' core sets. We already have several printings of the MacLands, maybe its time for the fetchlands to be in the core set.

You're completely missing the point that the core set is supposed to be a new player's introduction to magic, and how cards work.

They need to do better than their last two outings. M12 and M13 have been very poor, from a limited game play standpoint as well as a constructed staple standpoint.
In fact, I really don't see the purpose of the core set anymore. Duels of the Planeswalker is a MUCH better teaching and recruiting tool than the core set. So let's get rid of all the vanilla chaff and the purposely mild stuff, and make a real set.
I would much rather see a stand alone set produced each Summer, meant to be drafted by itself. It wouldn't be part of the current block, so would not effect block constructed. You could still make the set a little reprint heavy, to meet that aspect of the core set. It would both sell better and be better for constructed and limited Magic. You wouldn't have pro level events playing Core set limited.

That should cover my daily dose of ridiculous crap said without enough indicative sarcasm over the Internet.
Core sets are "mild" and bad cards, like Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Thragtusk, Thundermaw Hellkite, Sublime Archangel, Knight of Glory, Flinthoof Boar, Duress, Mutilate; I just- what? I must be new to this game, because I think M13 has more noteworthy cards than any other single set in standard.
Favorite set: Arabian Nights Favorite planeswalker: Taysir, the One Made of Five Favorite book cycle: Ice Age Favorite creature type(s): Elephant (W), Minotaur (R), Shade (B), Spider (G), Cephalid (U) Myr (Artifact) Standard: Gruul Control Modern: American Human Tempo; Zombie Tribal EDH: Aboshan, Cephalid EmperorCube: The Moons of Mirrodin

This.
Core has always brough amazing cards like wrath of god and birds of paradise, and the painlands.

They put some chase cards at the top to sell packs. The commons and uncommons are full of toned down and vanilla effects. This is not a revelation, it's the way they intentionally design the sets. So, basically, you don't know what you're talking about.
