MTG Greek Mythology Based Cards

edited November 2016 in Custom Card Sets
Hi everyone! My account is MagicChess on MTGCardsmith and I am an avid MTG player. I have worked with my friend, for a long time, on a Greek Mythology set, unlike Theros in the sense that it is directly Greek Mythology.

Set: http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/MagicChess/sets/5785
Masterpiece series (unfinished): http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/MagicChess/sets/15698
Beginning of second set: http://mtgcardsmith.com/user/MagicChess/sets/15817

I want to finish my masterpiece series and start a second expansion, stilled Greek Mythology. I was wondering if any of you would like to help me make it. Any ideas will be considered, and if you have any, I would greatly appreciate it if you would comment them below. Any contributions will be credited to you.

Thanks,
MagicChess

    Mind fixing the links? You have to exit edit mode, then copy/paste.

    And I love Greek Mythology, so I'll help with some ideas, but my memory is bad, so send me a reminder so I won't forget.

    Okay, I will give a long speech because your a cool guy and I'm interested.

    When it comes to Greek Mythology, Theros lacked a large thing. Greece is filled with heroes and monsters, so it should have been more of a Legendary-Matters, not a mere set, because though it focused a lot on the gods, it also focused on mere humans way more than it should have.

    So, to start with the Gods, I would decide it up into 3 sets, with the first one being the beginning.

    Olympus Rising

    This would be the time period where the world was first formed, all the way up to the Titan War.

    W God - Hestia
    U God - Poseidon
    B God - Hades
    R God - Zeus
    G God - Demeter
    C God - Hera

    W Primal - Uranus
    U Primal - Chronos & Ananke (1 Card)
    B Primal - Nyx & Erebus (1 Card)
    R Primal - Tartarus
    G Primal - Gaea
    C Primal - Chaos

    W Titan - Coeus
    U Titan - Oceanus
    B Titan - Cronus
    R Titan - Iapetus
    G Titan - Crius
    C Titan - Hyperbion

    Creatures:

    -Nymphs
    -Dryad
    -Merfolk
    -Gods
    -Titans

    Mechanics:

    -Not decided yet.

    Golden Age of Gods.

    This will be right up from the rise of the Gods to right before the creation of Humans.

    W/U - Athena
    W/B - Aphrodite (She wasn't necessarily the best person.)
    W/R - Hephaestus
    W/G - Apollo
    U/B - Hermes (Lies and Trickery)
    U/R - Aeolus
    U/G - Artemis
    B/R - Ares
    B/G - Persephone
    R/G - Dionysus

    Cycle of 12 Giants (I will look into it tomorrow.)

    Other Important Figures:

    -Atlas
    -Prometheus

    Creatures

    -Nymph
    -Dryad
    -God
    -Titan
    -Merfolk
    -Spirit
    -Giant

    Still no Humans.

    I will continue tomorrow. Set 3 will be the time of Greece.

    @TrippleBoggey3 There's a very good reason why Theros wasn't a legendary matters set. We already had one in Kamigawa.

    @Lujikul, Hey! Kamigawa was really fun! I want like another block like it!
  • MagicChessMagicChess
