Narvixian Realms
This is the board to post ideas for the block I am making, Narvixian Realms Block.
A link of this will be posted in the description of my account for it http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Narvixian_Realms_Block
Narvix is a plane with 3 suns. Each of the suns has a core that thinks and behaves on its own, and each in turn has claimed a different area. The first sun, Lana, has claimed the spirit realms. The second, Naro, has claimed the underworld. The third, Fora, has claimed everything in between, and protects all of the creatures on Narvix from the other suns.
The reason for said feud is a relic of great acclaim, which is known as the Narvix. It is said that the whole plane is dependent on this one artifact and without its power the 3 realms (Spirit, Underworld and Mortal) will collide, fuse the sun’s cores and ultimately Armageddon the plane.
As help for the plane, members of the gatewatch arrive, joining the planeswalker Ayla Harlow, who has been sent by the suns to retrieve the Narvix and give it to the sun’s cores, who will use its power to break out of their starry prisons and take their place as leaders of their realms.
The suns only agree on that one task, and constantly feud, tormenting each other’s beings, alive, dead or spirit, creating a tear between the realms, and Ayla has sensed something menacing hiding just inside the abyss, and so she is ever more desperate to find the Narvix and save the plane.
The plane is mainly inhabited by herd animals and the water masses are dominated by leviathans, big and small, and some have adapted to live on land, such being the alpha predators. As the tears grow bigger, strange and mutated beings from nightmares have started coming through, mutated by the netherworld in between. (NO, THIS IS NOT EMRAKUL, OR ANY OTHER ELDRAZI)
As the beings from the netherworld enter Narvix’s mortal realm, the path to the artifact becomes more and more treacherous, some of the beings finding even more ways to stop her. Thankfully, Ayla’s knowledge of the plane’s many wards, as well as the protection of her masters, has gotten her thss far. But she can sense that as she leaves her homeland of Harlow (One of all, in her language) the protection will fade, and she needs the other planeswalkers’ help.
Narvixian Realms is the name of the first set, Abyssalborn is the name of the second, still thinking of a name for the third. (Yes, there are 3 sets. I think 2 sets are dumb for flavor reasons, but cool for timing reasons. Since there are no Grand Prixs for these sets, there will be 3 of them.) Any ideas for mechanics or flavour would be greatly appreciated. If I missed anything let me know. I’d love some feedback!

Ideas for mechanics or cycles: So far, only this idea: A transforming card from normal creature to dark black nightmare creature, but can only be done with another instant or aura like "When ___ Enters the battlefield, transform enchanted creature.
Ideas for flavor text: Write the story in forms of dialogue of people recounting the events, then split up the parts and put them in flavor text.
The flavour text idea thing is cool too... I'll try it. Follow the account to see the printed cards! http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/Narvixian_Realms_Block
