    Oh phew. False alarm. But Emeria has dropped off the grid. The moon of Innistrad glows no more.
    Where can she be?

    Now back to your regularly scheduled rebuilding of Xalys.

    I'm still worried for you, @TezzeretofCarmot21. I'll continue to watch out for you.

    To the People of Xalys who do not understand the strange sequence of comments that just occurred:
    @TezzeretofCarmot was writing to a person not on this plane and revealed that he was not really a god as we thought. Then some confusion happened and we all blamed it on Emrakul. But really, Emrakul is still trapped in a moon.
    To the gods:
    Next time, label your secret messages "Confidential Information" and we will definitely not read them *wink*.

    @Decaldor, a sailor who can hear the gods? Fascinating.

    @22cjohnson, I have found many... useful things on my voyages.

    "The Eldrazi? They never truly die."

    I hear their whispers.

    "I see their visions."

    Ulamog lives in another plane...

    "Kozilek lives in another plane."

    "Emrakul lives within us all."

    Meharlat!

    "Not yet, brother. Let the mortal run around until his life wastes away."

    @22cjohnson? How life is already hanging by a thread. All I need is a quick snip, and he falls to Meharlat's domain.

    "Heresy isn't a crime if there isn't any form of church."

    Anything is a crime... you just need to twist reality enough.

    "Your existence does quite well at making everything a crime, then."

    And your existence gives me disdain for immortality.

    You'd think as a demigod, I'd at least know a little of what the deal is going on, but I don't. Right now all I know is that we were supposed to be rebuilding Xalys, @Decaldor is an explorer that I assist in his journeys, and TWO gods have hinted at killing me, and one of those was my creator @TezzeretofCarmot21. And that @NokiSkaur is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide on God steroids.

    Is there an Oracle somewhere i can talk to?

    Suggestion: @TezzeretofCarmot21 Can you make another thread where people can contribute something to the storyline instead since it is very confusing about what the heck is going on?

    This is my Demigod. I tried to catch the characteristics of red and green. Red is the dealing damage part obviously. Since Xalys was destroyed by something, it wants to make sure, this old evil is whiped out, before the new life starts to grow.
    The green part of my demigod is represented by the second ability, wich allows saproling creature tokens grow from the dead bodies of the former evil. They are to bring new and better life to Xalys.

    The white god has lifelink and vigilance, so I will assume life gain will be a major white mechanic.

    Sanvia, goddess of green mana, has been withdrawn from the world she restored - none of her disciples know why, despite their pleas. Yet still Sanvia listens to all who call upon her for protection and guidance. Perhaps she senses that the conflict that destroyed her beloved plane would return. Or there is a new threat that she fears and dare not expose herself to yet?

    Edit: I tried to make a new mechanic, called pioneering and changed the wording to what @ningyounk suggested:

    Pioneering - When this creature enters the battlefield, if you control no other creature, Effect

    Here's the card.

    "I shall gift those who survived the atrocities of war with a chance at redemption, for I believe that they shall do great things in the rebirth of Xalys."

    (Also @Mila, I for one think Pioneering is an excellent idea for an ability!)
  • MilaMila
    @captain_Pugsley Thanks. I like it, too. You're all invited to use it, of course
  • ningyounkningyounk
    @Mila On Pioneering: It's very flavourful and pushes a quite original style of gameplay, I really like it ^^ I think it's a bit too difficult to trigger though, caring about your side of the board being empty is probably a hard enough condition to meet, in my opinion :) On templating, I think it would go like this:

    Pioneer — When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if there is no other creature on the battlefield, EFFECT.

    With my little twist:

    Pioneer — When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if you control no other creature, EFFECT.

    As a demigod, infused with the power of dealing damage and creating new life, here is another card, fitting my modus operandi:

    @ningyounk The wording sounds great. I'll go with

    Pioneer — When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if there is no other creature on the battlefield, EFFECT.

    Just taking creatures under my control into account feels a little owerpowered, but Preventive Strike is made for cards with pioneer to also work midgame, not only early game. After cleaning the board, you can start to cast your cheap pioneers and rebuild your board faster than your opponent hopefully. Since I feel, pioneer is a quite green mechanic, you should have the potential to control more lands than your opponent and start anew quite fast.

    "Is @Armadaeus devoted to Noki?"

    No, you moron. He's a demon... he belongs to Meharlat. He is a devotee of Skaur.

    We need more common cards. This is a basic rune found in the ruins of Ancient Xalys.
    Edit: Fixed the Rune of Flames.

    A card representing the delve into the ruins, and one representing the ruins themselves.

    About pioneer, @mila I don't see how @ningyounk suggestion would be overpowered since as he said it is difficult enough to plan empty board states of your own side. I think also every game where you don't start first, you're going to have trouble ever activating the ability.

    Sry for pushing you about it, I want to use the ability for other cards too because I think it's brilliant but not sure it's quite right yet, of course I could be wrong too
  • MilaMila
    @saveria201 @ninhyounk Ok then. Let's change it to 'if you control no other creature'. I'll edit my card tomorrow.
