    Personally I'd be down to experiment with NOT having to shuffle decks ~50 times a game.

    This is not a valid argument. There's clearly a place in a varied metagame for an archetype that beats the Tier 1 and loses to enough Tier 2+ strategies to stay near 55-45 overall. You can't...

    Because Necropotence is uncastable in an 18 land 4 Wasteland UR deck, I would think.

    Modern Eldrazi doesn't regularly play Thorn, so I doubt it. Too much of the format plays a lot of creatures. It's also only a $15 card, what's the big deal?

    I find this hard to believe because I'm having trouble coming up with a deck that badly wants double Hymn for 5.

    So what? What strategy can't you play because of this? What archtype is the metagame unfairly oppressing? The way it looks to me and a lot of others is that aggro, control, combo, prison, etc. are...

    If you're gonna do all that you have to take out Wirewood Symbiote or Nettle Sentinel also, otherwise your "healthier more diverse" meta will just be elves and decks trying to beat elves.

    There was a 6/7 for 1G in the same set, so it's not like they have a good grip on what 'safe' means.

    3 different combo decks, two different control archetypes, one aggro deck and two different midrange lists made top 8, but yeah it's a completely **** format, lets start banning things.

    They have, it's called Modern. WotC has stated before that they do not and have no plans to design cards for Legacy/Vintage.

    If you're sick of FoW and Brainstorm, there's a format for you already.

    There's no such thing as a "Brainstorm Deck."

    Might as well complain about all the "Tropical Island Decks."

    I just want to point out that this is only true because control decks have historically barely hung on in most formats. It's the nature of magic that proactive strategies are better than reactive.
