I’m concerned with the continued direction of blue. Remand is now white. All colors now have access to what was once blue’s strength, great card draw. Blue’s creatures are still the worst overall. Only new thing blue has gotten lately is vigilance which isn’t that strong. I don’t see much incentive to run blue as a base color in my decks anymore when other colors are doing the same things and have better creatures and removal. What is the reason for all of this?

One Remand does not make white better than blue at counterspells. It’s also the best at stealing things, and bounce, and mill, among other things.

I think the only problem with White counterspells is that the counterspells white could get, blue keeps getting instead. I would think it's more fun, and would help balance the power/annoyance of counterspells overall if blue taxing/delaying counterspells would stop, and instead move those to white. Besides, I think things like a white Remand would help white in commander.

White being able to do them doesn’t remove them from blue.
