Will there Ever Be Effects that Can Interact with Emblems?

I just saw this post, here, and I personally would prefer that there not be any cards that can interact with emblems, since emblems usually take a great amount of time and effort to obtain.
Also, emblems are supposed to represent a permanent change in the state of the game (as seen on the original printing of Elspeth, Knight-Errant , the first planeswalker to produce an emblem), so printing cards that can interact with them would be contradictory to their purpose.
What does everyone else say about this? Will there ever be cards that can interact with emblems?
If anyone could steal emblems, it would be Nicol Bolas.

Also, to counter the emblem being difficult argument, there are some emblems that are super easy to reach. Like a good example is reaching Tamiyo, Field Researcher 's emblem only takes a few turns and is effectively a turn seven omniscience. Or Nissa, Vital Force 's emblem.
Additionally think about how pervasive counter doubling is currently in Planeswalkers decks.
It's hard to get some emblems, but it's easier to get them then it is to cast some things.

Actually, there is already one card that removes emblems and it’s Karn Liberated .

StopShot, yes, and that is a good example to follow; if there ever is an effect that can interact with emblems, it should be only on planeswalkers (since only planeswalkers can generate emblems), and should be very difficult to use.

I would say that it would be cool to choose to either put the walker emblem down or remove an existing emblem when you ulti your planeswalker

I wish there was a way of upvoting more than once for this post :P

TypicalTimmy, why would you want such an effect? Do you not realize how much time and effort are involved with producing emblems, and that emblems were created as a way to indicate that the original Elspeth's ability had been used?
