Amonkhet Hype! (We're back for more!)
I like Kaladesh. I love it a lot. I love it so much that I made a competition for it a while back. But rumors have been going around. About a new plane called... Amonkhet. Well, it's not really a rumor its just news here's a link. I can't be the only one exited for this. I'm sure there are other mtg fans who have been longing for an Egyptian-esk plane. And what mtg fan isn't exited for Nicol Bolas?
Anyway, here are the rules:
-Be hyped
Yep, thats the only rule. Just make a card that shows your excitement for the incoming plane! Good luck!
Here's my hype:
Last but not least have fun!

Not sure it's that great, but I am pumped though.
@ningyounk I know, I'm gonna change that, it's a bit strong! XD
I changed it!
My idea for cards in Amonkhet plays with the idea of "Trials" mentioned in the announcement that heroes go through in order to become Worthy. My conception of a Trial in card form is a condition that can cause any player to win or lose in ways that don't necessarily involve combat.
As we all know, Amonkhet is based off of Egyptian Mythology, but no one thought about that part. Now what is the most important trial in Egyptian Mythology? The Egyptian Afterlife and the Feather of Truth. Here's an article on it: http://www.ancient.eu/article/42/
My theory: The mentioned trial is the trial a person takes to see if they can make it to the afterlife, or something like it, but converted into the mtg lore.

Anyways, worshippers of Osiris, rejoice!

Featuring my new mechanic trap, as well as a potential lore point of retrieving Elspeth from the underworld through amonkhet (Neter-Kheret is the Egyptian Underworld) let me know what you guys think.
I've used MSE for the thumbnail in order to add the Amonkhet Set Symbol as a little bonus
EDIT: Templating considerably simplified =D Thanks @Corwinnn

While we already had theros which was the "Enchantments matter" set, I'm not opposed to seeing a new take on the idea.
Probably works in theory, but needs some adjustment.
My take on the infamous trap idea, while the zendikar traps were interesting I felt they were too generic and not gimmicky enough to work wonders. and while the Set effect idea needs some tinkering, I think its interesting enough to work.
