That was the easy part. Here is the hard part:
All ten stories have been claimed by Cardsmiths.
At the moment, @Ranshi has reported that he doesn't have time to realize his vision for the Grixis vs. Selesnya island. He has a strong premise and has made a very few cards. They are all good cards in my opinion (but I am not the final arbiter).
***WITH THE HELP OF EVERYONE HERE*** we need to decide how much editorial control to give to Ranshi and how much to give to the eventual executor of the cards.
I do not know how we will dispose of the Grixis/Selesnya story situation to be honest. We all need to decide what to do.
I fear that hurt feelings are near on the horizon.
We DO want you to help, @Dom_Rocks but I can't think of an easy answer. I'm listening everyone. Can you help?
Current Assignments
Naya v Dimir @DrakeGladis
Grixis v Selesnya (@Ranshi)
Esper v Gruul @WarriorCatInAhat
Bant v Rakdos @AxNoodle
Jund v Azorius @Leaf_Juggernaut
Sultai v Boros @Scott_Anderson
Abzan v Izzet @TheWanderer
Temur v Orzhov @shadow123
Jeskai v Golgari @IzItTru
Mardu v Simic @Bowler218
Was it you? I figure it might be, but I just want to make sure
There are not a ton of memorable cards and the commons are underwhelming. On the other hand there are some flavor all-stars in the group.
So I’m going to carefully review each slot and then present those cards I am happy with.
EDIT: I just knocked out 5 of my 12 monoblue cards. I’ll keep thinking. I do have an idea for one of them.
There may be a Cardsmith who is looking to collaborate on their assignment because each one is fairly expansive and therefore a lot of work.
What we do need is more folks to seriously critique cards as they come up. “Killing your children” is hard for a creator!
(And I don't think the cards are too good)
I'll try to make more.
Ah, here's my card!
Can this fit in?
(Thanks again!)
@Ranshi, what does that mean? (I don't mean to sound rude, I just don't know)
Dom, Theiving Survivor | {3}{u}{r}
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue | Rare
First strike
{3}{u/r}{u/r}, {t}: Gain control of target artifact.
Whenever Dom, Theiving Survivor attacks and isn't blocked, destroy target nonland permanent.
3/2
I provided some balance and title changes, as well as fixing syntax. If you want to know why things were changed, if they were, let me know.
Sorry about that.
Tell us a little about your story and maybe show us some main characters! Let’s see what folks are brewing!
-basically, the horses have crossed over to a jungle realm and are in war.
-There are random tribes and mercenaries that are neutral. They have either sided with the dragons, whom they prefer, or rebelled alongside the horses, or stayed completely neutral.
Something like that...
One character I have:

Horses are prey animals. They wouldn’t go to war on their own. Are they special in some way?
Strong in numbers. Kind of like that.
I still need to make their legendary creature.
I don’t want to tell you something you already know but it’s good to have a refresher once in a while.
Can someone tell us what’s up with one and the other and what’s the difference?
@Scott_Anderson I’m pretty sure most people know this, but hybrid cards must use effects that fall into both colors’ part of the color pie.

Excellent constellation of spells there. Very pretty top to bottom and some nice innovation. I left comments on some of the card threads.
Dream's End feels white to me.
Storm Elemental is the name of an existing card.

I'm a big fan of the rest. Good job.
So the total number of cards you should prepare is 85, but you get two additional Mythics.
