Return Of The Steamlords! (part 1/2)
Back in about mid 2015 I had an idea to make my own set using a steampunk styled world
(for those who don't know what steampunk is, it's like if Victorian Britain had a huge technological advancement and could make teleporters, electric guns e.t.c but still have the style of steam/coal powered)
The idea was great, until well.... I had run out of ideas
But now I want to bring it back but with YOU!
OVERVIEW
It will be set in the plane of Oxzin, A place of technological prowess and political unrest. It will have: Goblins,Humans,Assembly-Worker, (lot's of equipment,artifact,artifact creatures),construct,scarecrows,dragons,dreadnoughts,mercenaries, zombies,skeletons,wizards and trolls.
The set consisted of 3 main factions with some alternate factions
Mekatraz (white,blue,red): Mekatraz was a group of scientists and nobles dedicated to supplying power to the plane of Oxzin. After time they became powerful leaders and the rulers of Oxzin. They believe that the people are one and the power will be divided equally. Over time however these ideals have been lost, and technological advancement is shunned upon and instead hold dear to them what they already know. types include: Humans, Assembly-Workers, Constructs, Dragons, Dreadnoughts.
Ability: Creative (You may instead pay for this card's Creative cost, if you do +1 to all numbers that appear on this card, unless specified)
SIDE NOTE: CREATIVE'S +1 TO ALL NUMBERS ALSO INCLUDES POWER/TOUGHNESS IF NOT SPECIFIED.
Cogzon (black,red,blue): When Mekatraz was being founded, 3 powerful mages stole the information and written knowledge of the group for their own evil deeds, after ruining the landscape of eastern Oxzin, the Cogzon then constructed the Black Tower, a long jagged spire that reaches past the clouds, it's denizens are as evil as their masters and enjoy the prospect of destroying the works of Mekatraz. Types include: Humans, Constucts, Dragons, Zombies, Skeletons, Wizards.
Ability: Possess: (When this creature enters the battlefield you may instead pay for it's Possess cost, if you do exile this creature and take control of a creature your opponent controls with -X/-X; X is equal to the power of this creature.)
Hivercaz (red,green,black): Hivercaz was born in the ruins of old Mekatraz, now know as Guasston, the survivors became tough and rugged people, surviving off of the land and ruins of buildings. Zakatak, the undead goblin warlord of Hivercaz, was once a member of Mekatraz before he was scorned by his fellows and forced to leave the guild. Now he wishes nothing more than the death of his masters. Types include: Goblins, Humans, Constructs, Scarcrows, Trolls, Wizards, Mercenaries.
Ability: Loot: (When this creature deals combat damage to a player you may pay for it's loot cost, if you do search your library for an artifact card with a converted mana cost equal to or less than this abilities' mana cost, then place it onto the battlefield under your control tapped)
MAIN POINTS TO THIS COMPETITION
Now that I've bored you to death with backstory let's get into why you are doing this!
I want to put the next expansion onto the set, the second and (maybe) final half to the Steamlords set, you can do many things to help!
HOWEVER I'M CHANGING THE MANA COSTS
MEKATRAZ WILL NOW BE: {u}{r}{c}
COGZON WILL NOW BE: {b}{u}{c}
HIVERCAZ WILL NOW BE: {b}{r}{c}
{c} being colorless
WHAT YOU CAN DO!
1. Make a new name for the set (post your ideas below!)
2. Create NEW mechanics for each of the 3 factions!
3. Create lore/fluff/background story
4. Give a reason for RIGGERS
For those that don't know a card was made back in Future Sight called Steamflogger Boss (link: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=136151)
with the term ASSEMBLE A CONTRAPTION, it's never been used so I'd like to see what you would make of it!
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

For riggers and contraptions, why don't you make contraption tokens the mechanic for the Mekatraz?
An example I made about a minute ago for this: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/contraption-18
NUMBER 18 IS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST 18 LETS GO
Make up a name, I'm open to suggestions!
Love the Idea of making an artifact into a creature by assembling it!
Thanks for the awesome card!
Since you threw out white and green, I decided to make a card for those two colors.
The Enkha society could be a separatist group which would focus on the connection between machines and nature. The mechanic could see some changes (Contraptions instead of Constructs, name change?), it should represent that the Enkha build unitely their creations.
Side note: I would love to see a steampunk set, can't wait for a block which takes its place on Kaladesh!
Electrocharge (Steampunk tends to use more steam than electricity, so the name can be changed accordingly)
There are different versions of it that could be implemented, for instance:
*For a creature*
Electrocharge (Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature and any other creature you control that shares a type with it.)
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/mekatraz-brawler
*For an instant/sorcery*
Do "whatever the spell does", then Electrocharge (Put a +1/+1 counter on every (artifact) creature you control.)

Thank you for your contribution! I love the second mechanic!
