In that spirit I have started my little story in Boros colors. The opposing faction is Sultai in color. The characters are very much throwbacks to Legends. Right now the flavor is explicitly Christian and real-world European Medieval, but I will …

@archietaylor I did see your Noggle I did a number of Ouphes and some Brushwaggs. Noggles should be a thing! Thank you for the tip. I looked under “horse anthro” (def. safe search ON) with some good result.

@revan brilliant un-card. Looks like a real un-card!
-
@axnoodle, it appears we are not going to be using a really tight storyline, but rather a setting with many little stories. This may lend itself to making available a broader palate of keywords. My vision of a very tight megablock seems to be a mi…

@envyreaper agreed @Ranshi great! We will use Exalted, full stop.
-
Allow me to present a list of mechanics I think we can eliminate from consideration. If anyone sees one of these and wants to have it considered, let me know. Otherwise I will strike it from the list. 103 choices is a TON of choices! Amplify Aura…
-
It sounds like we must have some give and take on this, meaning accepting some choices from other cardsmiths we don't like a lot and having those cardsmiths play with something they may not like. Can we eliminate from our consideration any mechanic…
-
Well done, @Beeswax. Well done, all.
-
Maybe I should find a polling site so we can give our opinions in data form? Or maybe we won’t have any disagreements. Here is a list of keyword abilities. Check out the second part to see the ones we can choose from. Then give us your opinion on…
-
Okay here’s another issue we will need to discuss before we start making a lot of cards. Everyone has their pet keyword abilities. But not all of them are evergreen. What that means is some keyword abilities come and go rather than being available…

Here is another link to the master card file document. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BnhSRV88l1vWkxMvMrqfQ9Ib4PUNqFKI/view?usp=sharing As we go along I am going to attempt to slot up all 1,000 cards over the six sets. Right now I have the tw…
-
@envyreaper that’s much more convenient than going through the lore entries of every set.
-
To all: The second block is tricky because putting ten three-color tribes coherently into even a large expansion is going to be just impossible (emphasis on coherently), which is not the case for the two-color tribes. Do folks think we should cut…

@WarriorCatInAhat Oh gosh! No write something you like. If you have an idea for someone else, pass it along. But write your own! @KorandAngels perhaps so. My brain doesn't have a lot of working memory so I rely on procedures to get from A to B to…

@Mir-151414 The spell reflection thing is pretty neat. She's not hexproof (yawn) but you can have a measure of retribution. I like everything but the name. What about "mystic mirror" ?
-
@Fallen_Lord_Vulganos lol I've seen that! Unfortunately I'm looking for paintings or watercolors that could pass as medieval or pastoral. I have three of them but I need one or two more.
-
@ranshi no story! Gosh... Has there been a proper set without a story outside of anthology sets? EDIT: yes, Legends didn’t really have a story. What about from modern times? Yes I will fill out the spreadsheet as we go so we can begin to slot car…
-
My turn? If not, disregard please.

@Fantastickill7 super artwork. The two effects are great in terms of Dwarf flavor. I'm not sure you need to go so high on the cmc. Maybe it's a 4 instead of a 5, at 2RW? The Forge mechanic is troubling me since there's no tap in it. Maybe it can …
-
@DrakeGladis super thinking. A real david and goliath. You would be able to fill out your Dimir and Naya factions quite well.
-
@WarriorCatInAhat that's wonderful news! We have like 10% of the work done so it's mostly wide open. Start to think about a storyline and some colors you want to play with. We will do one block that focuses on two colors and then continue the sto…

On the topic of Lore I am imagining a story arc where a woman is beset by visions of an angel and tasked with putting together a holy army to tame the heathens in the countryside. Her arc would go from simple maiden to leader in battle to general o…
-
@Bremtreaty I don't understand how Eluva is powerful outside of being a fattie?
-
If I were Development Lead, that would require me to put cards in their proper place within sets. I would distribute copies of the master spreadsheet with card types, colors and rarities to everyone to know what our goal is, and then I would keep …
-
@drakegladis, we will all do a little of each - but we need leads to keep things organized. I think it's great you want to do lore. Start thinking up interesting things you might want to add into a Magic story. Until Ranshi et al decide on the eleva…
-
If I was the Design lead, I would first distribute copies of the Color Pie spreadsheet I made and I would ask for as close to zero color-breaks as possible. If you have a card you like and it turns out it's in the wrong color, I'd rather keep the ca…
-
If I were the Lore Lead, my first suggestion would be for each person to think up an island environment with a theme some factions on the island and their TWO colors A (small) point of conflict on that island so the factions have some tension And…
-
@TheWanderer it sounds like a great starting point. With the caveat that it's all subject to change, please do go ahead and start crafting.
-
Thank you @DrakeGladis - I agree we need a couple of leads on this for particular things. I think you're doing a great job helping out. Just keep your ideas coming. This is speculative; when I have made sets, even collab sets before, we have not b…

Thanks @Ranshi. Some of the parts are not labeled because I am not certain what will happen with those slots.
