    Oh sorry @Stormtide. I overlooked your earlier comment about the races.
    I think Humans and Elementals will play a large part. I'd like to see werewolves for some reason.
  • StormtideStormtide
    @TezzeretofCarmot21 so are there DFCs? Also, I think merfolk would be right at home
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    @Stormtide DFCs and merfolk are great!!
  • StormtideStormtide
    @TezzeretofCarmot21 Don't forget DFC merfolk
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21

    Possibly some form of leonin as well? Just to fit that jungle theme a couple islands may have, I guess.
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    Yes, sure @NokiSkaur !

    How about a new race? The Tiki. Little spirits, white, red, green, and blue aligned. They could just be spirits too actually - Tiki in their name title. Idk.

    Black could have demons.
  • saveria201saveria201
    The Tiki generally protect humans and other lifeforms at their whim. Demon's, generally, do harm but could be appeased to do humans bidding in rituals. A cycle of rituals might be fun. That the inhabitants invoke to summon favor of these spirits /tiki/demon's.

    So, possible major colors of the races:

    White: Humans, cats (cat people), spirits
    Blue: Merfolk, fish, turtle, leviathans, drakes, (another sea creatures too?)
    Black: Demons
    Red: (I have no idea)
    Green: Birds, snakes, cats, beasts (I don't know what kind of beasts there will be)
    Colorless: Sand elementals?
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    Tiki is red @Sanjaya666. And @Saveria201, that is a neat idea!

    @TezzeretofCarmot And what are their types? Spirits? Demons?
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    Hm, either Spirit or just Tiki @sanjaya666

    Red can also have lizards. Perhaps one island even has viashino. Black can have bats and rats.

    The Tiki are supposed to be guardian spirits of sorts, so their type can be spirits, but we can differentiate them in their name titles with "Tiki". "Tiki Shaman", "War Tiki", etc.

    These are just general ideas--a baseline of sorts.

    W (Flying): Spirits, Elementals, Birds

    W (Non-Flying): Cats, Dwarves

    U (Flying): Spirits, Birds

    U (Non-Flying): Elementals, Leviathans, Mystics

    B (Flying): Horrors

    B (Non-Flying): Shamans, Scarecrows, Tiki

    R (Flying): Dragons, Elementals

    R (Non-Flying): Tikis, Humans, Beasts, Dwarves

    G (Flying): Insects

    G (Non-Flying): Artisans, Cats, Beasts, Boars

    Chrome: Humans

    I can also change this as new ideas come along.

    @NokiSkaur
    Green flyers: Insects because they seem to be the best candidate here. Giant, flying insects. Or smalls too, whatever.

    @sanjaya666

    That makes colour pie sense, and it works flavourfully. I usually associate green with flying hate, so I can't usually think of many green flyers.
  • StormtideStormtide
    Green's flyers tend to be fairly low quality. There are exceptions, but these tend to be color pie breaks

    I like it, @NokiSkaur. I like it very much!
    Now, we need 1 more plane name entry and then on to voting.
    EDIT: Leviathans work very well in blue. Scarecrows maybe are animated by the magic...? And Kithkin returning, lel!
  • NokiSkaurNokiSkaur
    Yes, magically animated scarecrows. I was kinda stuck in this voodoo loop for black, and I thought of a figure similar to the SOI scarecrow that I forgot the name of. Not Wicker Witch or Harvester's Hand... the lanky one with glowing purple features.
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    @NokiSkaur the Reaper King? Best flavor text ever
  • NokiSkaurNokiSkaur
    I was thinking of Field Creeper, but that might work.

    Woww weird
  • saveria201saveria201
    Why scarecrows? It doesn't feel Polynesian to me.
  • TezzeretofCarmot21TezzeretofCarmot21
    I don't know... they're cool.

    Here are some races that seem to fit the Polynesian theme. I think each tribe should have two colors that can use it. Of course, there will be animals and things too. These are just sentient races.
    WU- Aven
    UB- Kapua (Shapeshifters)
    BR- Flamekin
    RG- Puaa (Boar folk)
    GW- Plant people (Treefolk, Dryad, etc. I haven't decided)
    WB- Humans
    UR- Viashino
    BG- Tiki (Spirits)
    RW- Menehune (Dwarves)
    GU- Merfolk (With a shark-folk subcatagory, with the same type)

    I've gone back and forth on whether Humans and Tiki should be switched.

    Notes: The Hawaiian people believed that every object has a spirit. Also, there is a common myth about the spirits of fallen warriors playing drums. This will mean a lot of spirits in the set. We don't want to go Kamigawa-style though.

    Lastly, the Dragons in the mythology are called Mo'o, don't fly, and turn into islands when they die. I feel like this could make for some interesting cards, mechanic-wise.

    So no O-Kagachi. Got it, @Stormtide. Maybe there would be dragons with "when this creature dies, create a land token with {t}: add u, r or b to your mana pool."
    So now, what about the story?
    How about, if there are Viashino and Dragons, we reprint Hivis of the Scale?
