So I've skimmed through all the prior Design Searches and I've found a few cohesive themes across them: 1.) Being able to design a set, and design FOR a set, is critical. TGDS 1's entire series of challenges was basically a step-by-step guide to de…

Hopefully not too scary to lose a chance at victory @sorinjace!
-
I was inspired by Verdillion Clique's ETB ability, and i thought that "return to hand" abilities would be an interesting mechanic for faeries.
-
I wanted to see if I could make a Golgari-Power-Four-Or-Greater card, and I think this does the bloody trick. Plus, the phrase "Where Ancients Tread" reminded me of a very lovecraftian god aesthetic.
-
@Brcien, I thought Fairies/Fey because... 1.) I'm sick to death of elves, but we need something green to balance out the heavy Mardu and Bant (and Gruul if you're good on the dog-people) 2.) Vryn is a world consting mostly of deserts, the mage rin…

@brcien, @sorinjace Thoughts on making green/blue faeries a thing on vryn? or at least, Fey of some kind.
-
I wanted to fill the "medium red" creature box, and realized that we've already established there are dog-people on this plane (thanks @undead!) So I decided to put in dog people. And gave them a mechanic that I felt was "reactive" but also suitabl…

Also! I recently watched a worldbuilding video on MtG: And I think the most relevant bit would be 6:02, which is effectively a creature checklist for any set. Apparently, if a world can't believably have at least three of each of these boxes, they…

I think it's a great card! I love the idea of a stealthy, theiving robot.

Here's a Mini Responder, if you will.

@Brcien, I remembered that Mage-Ring Responder existed, and thought we may want to put more focus on the (clearly very developed) Golems of Vryn.

https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/hollow-victory-1 a fun(?) Alternate Win Condition card.
-
@Sorinjace, I didn't really write much more for Sana beyond what I already have done, but I'd love to write something more!
-
Oh, and here, take a character card: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/dosyra-arbiters-demon Dosyra is a hulking demon who serves under the orders of the megalomaniacal arbiters of Vryn. He takes control of powerful figures of each faction, puppeting …

Ah! Apologies! I swear, I keep checking the thread all day until the /exact moment/ you respond. You're likely asleep by now, but here's a mardu card: https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/arave-separatist-protector
-
https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/avenger-of-weakness An example of what I'm saying here.
-
Ah, sorry. I'm just as against the whole "the separatists are clear cut villains" thing as you are, but I like to view black/red less as "villainous" and more as "independent". At their core, they are the colors of "chaos" and "self-interest" which …
-
Fair enough! I can change that bit, however I still think Bant is a good homeworld for a character trying to change a Blue-White plane for (what they see as) the better. Also, have you thought about limiting the two faction's color identities? Perh…
-
aaaaand Doffel has been suitably nerfed. Now he's a bit more versatile but a lot less suffocating. Also, as for how Underdog could be buffed, I would suggest making it similar to Revolt, both because they're flavorfully similar, and so that it acti…
-
Sana hails from the shard of Bant, a place of peace and prosperity, a world that tought her honor, justice, and (most importantly) strategy. During the reunion of Alara's shards, Sana found herself horrified with the sheer discord of the other shar…
-
Both fair points! I'll tweak the Overseer a pinch, and I'll hit you with a story in but a moment.
-
At the risk of flooding this thread with just me talking to myself, I've been wondering, do you see room for any new keyword mechanics outside of Checkmate and Underdog? I feel as though Vryn has a lot of potential for that.
-
Oh, and while this isn't a planeswalker, I did make an amphryn card, one of the individuals dedicated to keeping Vryn in a state of conflict. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/doffel-ampryn-overseer
-
Shoot! Sorry for the late reply, I was expecting any response to show up in my normal disqus notifications. That said, here's a planeswalker concept based around the reactive push-pull nature of Vryn (and heavily inspired by the card Military Intel…
-
@brcien Hey! I was wondering if you have any planeswalkers in mind for this set. If not, I'd be glad to design some for it! The idea of a planeswalker arriving on a world at war is quite exciting to me.
