The Cardsmith Camaraderie set (Commanders/Legendaries only) *Needs your input!*
Hello fellow cardsmiths, it's Mercy here coming with an ambitious project. The goal of this project is to make as many cardsmiths into commander leading cards. The additional details of the set will be listed below. Myself need your help by having you as a cardsmith post a few things in a comment, which will be mentioned below at the end after all the debriefing on the project.
Myself also hope to print these cards professionally and send them to you, the community through whatever means is convenient and at whatever scale is possible.
Thank you for listening, the rest of the details will be listed below.
-----
Color Combinations in the set? -> Every color combination including colorless. (Color #'s; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)
How many cards are there of each color combination? -> 3.
How many cards are in the set? -> 96.
Are there creatures and planeswalkers? -> Yes.
How many creatures are there for each color combination? -> 2.
How many planeswalkers are there for each color combination -> 1.
Is there purple in the set as a color? -> Disappointingly, no. This is only for firmly supported colors.
How long will this take? -> Depending on participation, this could be done in three months at earliest.
What are the rewards for supporting you in this endeavor? -> Not certain yet, am still seeing if myself can ship your individual card directly to you through MTGCS, via postage. Obviously, double sleeved to keep it safe if we do so.
Is this part of an upcoming contest? -> Hopefully, myself am seeing the logistics of professionally printing and shipping each card from the set to a grand winner of an upcoming contest.

This is the end of the debriefing, here is where you come into the picture!
Step 1: Give us some preferred names/nick-names for yourself.
Step 2: Give us your preferred pronoun/gender. (This is for card art to be respectful.)
Step 3: Give us at least three of your favorite color identities, in order of most to least preferred.
Step 4: Give us at least three of your favorite specific deck archetype/styles.
Step 5: Specify any other preferences for your card.
Lastly, post a comment with all this information down below. Please be careful to not use real names for the preferred names, unless you're comfortable with others knowing.
Thanks and happy smithing!

Lukaes: Card draw, evasion
Luca/Luke: +1/+1, equipments matter, draw/mill
I hope this isn't too many choices! I think this will be a cool custom set and I'll print off a bunch of these and go into commander next Friday and be like "Wanna see Commander 2019? Here they are!" and see how many jaws drop!
2. He/him/his.
3. Dimir, Grixis, Sultai.
4. Midrange, graveyard shenanigans, control.

2. He/him
3. Sultai, Esper, Colorless
4. Control, wheel, jank combo
5. EDIT: Make the person as unremarkable or normal as possible (I mean the appearance, not the abilities). Plus turning everything at instant speed would also be nice.
2. He-Him
3. WUBRG
4. Hydra Tribal
5. Mo-Pir is a mythic rare planeswalker. Also, hydras in every color would be nice.
2. Whatever really works with the name
3. Bant, Grixis, Temur

4. Burn

5. Not that I can think of.
2. I identify as Male/ He but it doesntt matter
3. Esper (Even tho I dont play it)

4. Ajani's pridesmate combo, tokens, weird stuff.
5. This slot will be updated at some point.
2. Male, but gender doesn't matter that much.
3. Mono-White, Mono-Black, U/G
4. Death & Taxes, Devotion, Morph
5. I hate Planeswalker Commanders for several reason (My entire play group gangs up on them as soon as possible, almost all of them feel like terrible one-shot spells, most have a single lackluster ability that lets them down, using the ultimate feels like an impossible task).
2.He/Male, doesn't matter much.
3.Temur, Izzet, Jeskai, Simic
4.Enters-the-battlefield synergy, Instants/Sorceries matter, Midrange

2: They/them, would prefer a more gender neutral or feminine depiction
3: Green/black, green/blue, white/blue/black, 4 color without red, 4 color without white
4/5: +1/+1 counters, tokens, artifacts. I like large complicated boardstates and making lots of creatures and such. Creating a sort of chess game, where you have to strategize and consider your options a lot, even if sometimes the best option is to just swing with everything.
At the end of the day though, have fun with it and use what you know of me as best you can, you've seen enough of my cards to probably get a good idea of what things I lean towards or away from. Bonus points for using lesser known/obscure mechanics.
Step 2: He
Step 3: Bant, Azorius, Simic
Step 4: Gimmicky stuff, control, making bad stuff good
Step 5: If you want, make it needlessly complicated.
Step 2: He/Him/It
Step 3: Any color is fine, as I tend to play them all .
Step 4a: Control/Permission
Step 4b: Tribal
Step 4c: I also love using unexpected cards.
Step 5: Feel free to do whatever!
Step 2: They/Them/It
Step 3: Temur
Step 4: Morph, copies, ramp, political, whatever.
Step 5: New design space in Commander would be great!
Quick update: Myself will likely not be making as many cards today as yesterday, since it's my dad's birthday today and we're hanging out this evening. But will still try to make a few, if able.
For the most part myself have been designing the cards in a first come first served basis, but given the resoundingly positive amount of entries, myself can now do so more strategically on which cards fit where to best fulfill each cardsmith's favorite color combination.
Just because myself am not making as many cards today, doesn't mean myself want the entries to slow down. As the larger the cardsmith pool is, the more strategics can be done in color placement.
