Ephemera: Tommia Collapsed
More info to come soon!
Welcome to Ephemera. In this set, gaze upon a corrupt Tommia as it falls apart at the seams, having merged with a phantasmal plane of eternal darkness.
This set places a heavy emphasis on Good vs. Evil, as well as the line between. There are two sides to the conflict, split into multiple factions. The plane of Tommia, represented by White, Blue, and Green mana, is at war with the plane of Ephemera, represented by Black, Red, and Devoid (colorless) mana. Will you side with Tommia and bring light to a realm that's falling apart? Will you join Ephemera and bring Tommia's end? Or will you live on the line, walking between light and dark and hoping to make a difference? The choice is yours.

Tommia, informally led by Joseph Bigham: Tommia represents the good in the world, and is a figment of the positive in Joseph's mind. Being a faction of white, blue, and green mana, their goal is to fight off the forces of Ephemera and protect the plane of all costs. Sadly, since Tommia is technically still at war, Tommia is teetering on the edge of ending itself.
Ephemera, led by Tommy Jihah: Ephemera represents negativity and the urge to destroy, and is a figment of the negative in Joseph's mind. Being a faction of black, red, and devoid (colorless) mana, they seek to corrupt Tommia and kill Joseph.
If a legendary creature has a proper name (ex. Vulcan, Shepherd of Fire) it is called by its name (in this case, Vulcan) instead of by the name of the card when being referred to on itself. Other cards still refer to it by its full card name.
On top of that, on the card, the character is referred to by gender unless they lack one. (Vulcan is a she)
Lost (Other spells and abilities treat this card as if it had no types, subtypes, name, mana cost, or text.)
See the unseen -- If you control a Lost or Forbidden permanent, .
Convicting a creature, player, or planeswalker (If the target is not convicted, put a conviction counter on them and they become convicted. Those that are convicted take an additional one damage from nonblack white sources.)
Consecrate with (, Exile cards named from your graveyard: Cast this spell from exile.)
[From WoTC] Exploit, Devoid
[From WoTC Unused Mechanics] Forbidden (This card starts the game in exile)
I like ideas that focus on issues among the plane being covered up. Specifically, the conflict is behind closed doors and may be unknown-st to the citizens.
Enough dragging on a dead plot from 2012. It's time to work on my new plane!
Please do not close this discussion yet. I may still do something with this.
