Floating Island Set
Though I have lost interest in Magic in the past couple of months, mostly cause of how expensive it is, every now and then I have ideas for cards for a set that I want to make. But I feel like I would never have enough ideas for cards to construct a whole set.
So I have come to you guys for help.
My ideas for story:
World of floating islands, that only the dragons can travel between. There are islands of complete forests, some of water, some of rocks and caves, everything. These islands can differ in sizes, between the size of Oran Rief to the size of an apartment.
The flat ground that the islands float over is inhabited by the undead, mostly skeletons.
Garruk comes to the plane, hoping to find a place to hide from the other Planeswalkers,
Sarkhan comes, in search for a dragon worthy of his worship,
Nissa comes, simply traveling through planes after Zendikar was destroyed.
Creatures:
Serpents-B/U
Dragons-All colors
Unicorns-W/G
Treefolk-G/R
Elementals-R/B
Skeletons-B
Humans-W/U
Tell me if anyones interested. If so I'll make an account. Thanks!

Alright. I was told that they all got transported to random planes as a result of the fight. That was my mistake.
Lilliana is basically his slave, but she is not under mind control.
And he let the other three escape.
Nissa is relatively fine, but Chandra and Gideon are pretty much planeswalking fine. If they had stayed longer they would have been goners.
Alright. I understand.

The image on @HeroKP 's card gives me an idea for the basic plot of the set.
The dragons have ruled the plane for centuries, oppressing the various peoples and keeping them trapped on their islands and island chains. But one day, a daring human inventor secretly designed a vessel that could sail through the air. He showed the design to his tribe on their island. Fearing the dragons' wrath, his kin exiled him, and he fled on his airship to a remote, barren island over weeks of island-hopping. During that time, he made several allies among the people he visited, including Nissa, who was protecting a group of elementals. On his secluded island, the inventor tinkered away, improving his airship design, making it faster, more agile, and more efficient. He began to stir up revolution, spreading his airships throughout the land, until finally the people were ready to rise up agains the tyranny of dragons.
@MagicChess I love it. It will definitely be used.
@everyone who is interested, I will make an account. But I need a name first. What should the set be called?
Maybe we could call it... I dunno... Aeria?
And this is just a suggestion for a new named ability KoK. Acronym for king of kings that only legendaries and dragons invoke. The ability works as whenever this card comes into play and there is another legendary in play with an equal or greater converted mana cost, add WGBUR to your mana pool.
I'm sorry, I don't have an email, but I could make one? But it's better if we use someone's premium account, because then we don't have to make it from the account
Heres a card i feel could be used!
the effect worded properly takes up such much space it kinda ruins it
another wording could be used to avoid WALL of text but it feels much less realistic in my opinion
When Furwinged Dragon enters the battlefield, choose one.
-Search your library for a mountain card, then deal 3 damage to target creature without flying
-Search your library for a forest card, then deal 3 damage to target creature with flying
-Search your library for a basic land card
I don't think the wording ruins it, I think it is actually best on what is written on the card.
I think walls of words add feeling to the card
Also, I love dual color cards so If it's possible I would like to dedicate myself to design dual color things.
If you think it is too powerful, I can make another a little weaker, Im glad to recibe comments and ideas!
@Everyone What if we did multiple sets of dual lands, instead of the regular 5 per set?
Also i like the garruk but planswalker often feel like their ability fit into the "story". Garruk should feel like an hermit in this case since all he wants is hide from the other planewalker. as of now it feels like others should be fleeing. if ThyMaster likes it its cool but, since planewalker carry a heavy load of story, the card should feel like its driven by lore.
Also his -8 should have the "Under Your control" at the end.
I dont mean to sound rude or anything just want to help you. I like the card non the less the abilities feels fresh and new but it could use some more story. keep up the good work!
and since im posting heres another card just for fun.
@Everyone IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, SHOOT ME A MESSAGE AND I'LL ASSIGN PARTS OF THE SET TO EVERYONE.
