Times Combined: Solamen and Bolas' Nine
200 years after The Hour of Devastation, Nicol Bolas was banished to a realm of unknown proportions by Urza, after unlocking immortality, he ruled over Dominaria, free from Nicol Bolas, Dominaria became a Utopia. During this time, Uzra created the Orachromidon, in order to protect Dominaria from any future Rifts, though, ironically, creating the greatest rift in history, merging every plane together in one—Solamen. This was called The Cursed Mending, starting a new age; After the Cursed Mending (ACM).
50 ACM: After the chaos of the merge, Solamen was split into 5 main territories, Dominaria, Innostart, (Previously Innistrad) Ixalan, Tortumro, (A combination of The Abyss and Amonkhet.) and The Wastes (Comprising of the Eldrazi and the Phyrexian who get along better than you’d believe.) In Tortumro, a hidden cult starts, known as Followers of the Suns, whose original purpose was to find a way to undo The Cursed Mending. Believing Nicol Bolas being banished was the omen that truely caused the rift, and not purely the Ocachromidon. Their goal was to unbanish Nicol Bolas to Solamen. Before being renamed to Bolas’ Nine.
The members of Bolas’ Nine comprise of Okka Soulmer, Jillas Totamo, Xxor, Pla-Ko Corus, Replar Chromat, Oraphin Ortin, Yhogth Potho and the leader and founder, Yyox Morthou. And a former member, Hegmor Sontar.
To enter the game, say “My soul wishes for the past to present itself.” You and another player chosen by me will go against each other will be assigned one of the Bolas’ Nine, or a member of the resistance, who will not be named at this time. These cards will be a commander, and your task is to make a card that would belong in its deck. You may also challenge a player if you do not want to be assigned one. Cards will be graded by me, but if you believe the vote is not fit, you can turn the vote over to the hand of the Council, where the people will then vote.
At the beginning of each round, it will be stated if the winner will receive a prize, or the loser will receive a curse. Prizes can be either a blessing, or an item. Blessings are positive attributes that will be added to your next round requirements to make things easier, they are passively added automatically to your next round unless another blessing or item states otherwise. Items are tools that can be used anytime, that can be played on your opponent, yourself or even a random player. Curses are like blessings, but give negative attributes that work against you in your next round. There are also legendary items, no more will be said on these but their existence. You may ask to see your "inventory" to see all items you possess, and your current blessing/curse you are under at the moment. Items can be stored as long as you wish, and you can hold up to 7 items at a time, and 1 legendary item at a time. Legendary items do not count towards your total item cap.
At the end of each month, 5 of the cards that I see as “the best” will be selected, and it’s up to the people to vote for who had the best card this month. Cards can be made in either MTGCardsmith, MTG.Design, MTGNexus, Magic Set Editor and FalseBlue, if you’re old lol. If you use MTGCardsmith, we advise you to link your card so people can show their love for it by favoriting it! Now, without further adieu, let the rift open, and let up begin.
