The Frontier (The Exploration and Whimsy set!)
AIGHT AIGHT AIGHT AIGHT
So you know, Hilda, Gravity Falls, magical and scientific childhood whimsy, the whole snack? How about this in MTG? (Yes, I have been eating raw sugar packets, but that's not the point). We got something similar in Zendikar, but it was much too gritty compared to what I have in store. Need more things VIBRANT! We got this vibrancy in Ixalan, but the tribal aspects got in the way of TRUE WHIMSY!
So how about we do it, good and true? Imagine this:
A city, built on a giant floating island, which sits atop an ever-shifting jungle? Every child, when he/she reaches 10 years of age, is sent off by his family and jumps down into the wilds, to spend a year exploring this world. Some don't come back, and that's the tragedy of it, but those that do are filled with stories for life.
MECHANICS WISE:
It will intentionally NOT be focused on tribal. It will have children of all shapes and forms, goblin kids, minotaur kids, elf kids, but none of them supporting their tribe, all equal in whimsy.
The only creature type to be boosted shall be Scout, which of course will be omnipresent.
We also shall bring back the explore mechanic, as well as a host of other mechanics relating to WHIMSY!
I'll draw up some cards to provide examples soon.
Meanwhile, happy smithing!
