I had an idea... for a 1,000 card set
You see, I was think about old Magic sets, and how the Weatherlight saga all took place on one or two planes... what if everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) made a set based on MTG Cardsmith, as if it we're a plane? the amount of cards would be INSANE but if it was made, then more and more cards can be submitted and soon enough, it be a Saga like the Weatherlight.
What is your thoughts? Is this to ambitious? Do you think it won't work?
Thank you for reading.

This community doesn't exactly have a great track record of staying on normally-sized set projects for extended periods (I know that there are exceptions, but they mostly just prove the rule from what I've seen). In addition, I really can't imagine that you could make a proper common rarity thing under any circumstances. Too many cards would overlap end up too complex.
One vague potential thing to mention is that EnvyReaper had an idea for a thousand-and-something card set a while back called Peace in Dumaran. I can't remember why, but it was cut down into three logically-sized sets early in the design process. It then fell apart and stopped being worked, but that might be besides the point. I'm not really sure what point I'm going for mentioning this, but it seemed like it might be worth saying.
If what you mean is "Everybody makes N cards relating to the idea of Cardsmith, then we put all of those submissions together to make a set" then it's an interesting idea. It'd be more of a card-heap than an actual set, but interesting and potentially hilarious.
To clarify, I'm not against the idea. I just don't believe that it'll get done. If I'm proven wrong I'll be happy.
Your saying of it being too complicated with the rarity, that makes sense, but we could always shift rarities or make new cards.
I just wanted to make something insane and quite stupid for the fun of Magic. And I hope enough people like the idea that it COULD get done, and if not this discussion will be closed and never touched.
Thank you for your criticism and these things will be taken into account when making.
Do you mind if I take your comment and put it in the main discussion for people to see and understand that it needs to be taken into account and see why it can fail?
I am so in. Finally, a project with too many members to fail!
I surmise that @sorinjace's presence would be accountable for an inclusion of canon Jace and Sorin cards.
Perhaps any user with a name of a sort of reference would likely warrant such a cameo of the given character.
If we are to have a story, some must volunteer as Villains and as heroes. I am inclined to volunteer as the former.
Bump as an action word in the set. It would be dealing 1 damage to a creature you control, giving it haste.
Do we make our own representative card?
2. I am so in.
*That was a joke, even though our track record is spotty to say the least.
EDIT: But in all honesty, I think we should approach this more as a set about MTG Cardsmith than as a 1,000 card set.
@Dom_Rocks anything else you want to say?
On another note what kind of plane would mtgcardsmith look like?
