Rebooting Alpha
So, I'm doing a core set based on alpha edition, but without the broken stuff - similar to revised, but if it was done before M15.
Some themes I'm going for:
Turning mirrored pairs into full cycles
Changing 'tribal' themes for color themes.
Reducing instant/sorceries power in prown of creature power.
Reducing names and lore to a more 'made your own lore' kinda (serra angel was suposed to be called angel)
some stuff i'm preserving:
no italic text.
no 'new mechanics' (menace counts as a basic mechanic here)
Card color's matter.
So, this contest is divided into 2 categories:
Re-designing the "Lace cycle" - Purelace, thoughlace, etc. They should be more flexible in their use.
Re-designing alpha remotions: Swords to plowshares is a great, legitimate white disruption. But Counterspell isn't as fair as it should be, and armageddon is bonkers. Removal spells are great.
each 'Good' entry will result in a 5 stars.
Each brilliant entry will be used in my set, and will have 5 stars plus a following of mine.
good luck! valid until end of setember

Also fixed some things.
Almost all of those cards have broken exploits or indefinite loops as a result.
