    Sounds good. I'm thinking that we should start with personal islands of 20 cards.

    1-2 Mythics
    4-5 Rares
    6 Uncommons
    8 Commons

    With that base, it'd be making sense that on the mono colored "Base Islands", most of the commons and uncommons would be derived from.

    Also, I hope you don't mind me remaking some of my old cards for the set. I thought they were good ideas and we need more cards anyway, so I figured I might as well put them to good use.

    @Ranshi I like that.

    So at any time you can just drop in and create an island? That is a good idea just to have the whole community helping, with a slow creation process as people slowly put together islands.
    Also... What is the name of this place?
  • Leaf_JuggernautLeaf_Juggernaut
    Yea, any time you can just join in.

    It doesn't have a name yet...

    I'm halfway done with the 20 cards for Nexus.

    @TheWanderer nice
  • KorandAngelsKorandAngels
    My cards are just my cards.
  • RanshiRanshi
    I propose the name Gaifal, which is derived from one of the Welsh words that means "forge".

    I have an idea: We make the 5 colours be different reasons for decks: Ideas are:
    The idea of the deck telling it's own story.
    Meta.
    Official mtg lore.
    Throwing together a deck simply so one can play the game.
    The collecting of cards for the sake of the cards themselves.
    Which one do you think would be which colour?
  • TheWandererTheWanderer
    @KorandAngels Not a bad idea. Maybe add reasons for creating cards, too? My attempt at matching to colors:

    White - Meta (Adhering to an orderly competitive structure) - Creating cards with the Standard/EDH/etc environment in mind
    Blue - Telling its own story (Creativity) - Creating cards to tell a story
    Black - Collection of cards for their own value (Hoarding, seeking profit, etc) - ???
    Red - Throwing together a deck to play the game (Chaotic thrill-seeking) - Creating cards for the hell of it/to test out zany ideas
    Green - Official MTG Lore (Accepting the course of another's story) - Creating cards that mimic and improve upon existing ones

    Would these be the basis for the core islands or what?

    DO NOT MAKE BLUE FLAVOUR.
    Reverse white and blue, maybe?

    @KorandAngels Why? What's wrong with blue as creativity? Give it a break from being the evil "I want everybody to fit my ideas / things perfectly and also I'm the villain" color for a change.

    Also if anything we shouldn’t change it to white. White represents unity, togetherness, and collectivism so Creativity is not its strong suite.
  • KorandAngelsKorandAngels
    But blue is literally 90% of the games meta, so it would be odd for it not to tepresent it. This was just an idea anyway.
    But blue is NOT creative.
  • SteampunkDragonSteampunkDragon
    I dunno, I really like white as meta.

    I guess creativity seems odd in blue based on how the color has turned out but it could work in theory, I kinda like it honestly. It's a nice departure from the usual "evil control everything" archetype it's come to represent.

    White is doing the right thing. Also, I never said creativity, I said misinterpreting facts which is the opposite of blue's whole thing.
  • TheWandererTheWanderer
    I agree that misinterpreting facts is not blue's thing, but misrepresenting them so as to enable others' misinterpretation is.

    Idk, i'm just making random cards with the "teacup" symbol. I'll contribute them to the set if you guys need them. I already have 40, some are tokens though so like 35 actually. I'm planning to make more. They'll fit in somehow I guess in the 1k card set.

    This whole ordeal has me focused on my own set, but they work for this one as well.
  • KorandAngelsKorandAngels
    The teacup symbol is cool
  • Leaf_JuggernautLeaf_Juggernaut
    yea, i agree
  • AxNoodleAxNoodle
    Maybe we shouldn’t say what kind of cards each colour can make. It only leads to arguments and narrows design space.
  • KorandAngelsKorandAngels
    Youre probably right.
  • shadow123shadow123
    I agree
