I have 3 ideas for a black 'biggie' spell (R, 6BB, Sorcery):
Rise of the Fallen
Return all creature cards from your graveyard to play.
Maelstrom
As you play Maelstrom, each player may pay any amount of mana. Each player's life total becomes the amount of mana they paid. Your life total becomes 8, minus 4 for each card in your hand fewer than three.
"The very wind of the negative plane, ripping apart the bodies, minds, and even souls of all within."
Covert Excursion
Discard your hand, then search your library for as many cards as you discarded in this way and put them into your hand. Shuffle your library afterwards.
BTW: If Ninjas were put into the set, the flavor for C.E. would increase greatly.

Anycraze.com is vital for card creation. I plan on adapting all cards for the new concept set, and some good ones from my own, onto it. In anycraze, I'm known as 'groovemonger.' You guys can all see how well our ideas play out soon enough.

Well, the word on this is I haven't done anything about it, what with moving to Massachusetts and just getting the computer hooked up yesterday and all.
I'll make some cards within the next couple of weeks and review these soon when I have time.

I have one more idea about the ability: it can be based on what the permanent does. Assuming again it's called pure/impure, a permanent can be called "pure" if it does things we consider to be "creative" as opposed to "destructive," which would be "impure."
Two ideas follow which don't have to apply or to be together:
1. We could then split up the ability list into pure/impure categories.
2. Thus - and this is a guess, not a rule at all - black will probably have the highest proportion of impure to pure and green or white will probably have the highest proportion of pure to impure.
How does all this sound?

We would still have to label them, I think.

Or how about this:
White (90 P/ 10 I)
Blue Equal
Black (10 P/ 90 I)
Red (30 P/ 70 I)
Green (70 P / 30 I)
I suggest this mainly because I don't think any color should be too far one way or the other.
Whatever most people agree on can be what goes.

White can actually be fairly destructive, what with Disenchant and Wrath and Geddon effects, as well as a fair amount of targeted creature removal. I might even think of Green as the more creative color (before Naturalize, anyway 
).
BTW, TICM, that's a great idea.

I guess W wouldn't be purely pure, excuse the pun, so 90/10, or even 85/15, is a good idea.

Here's a barely related card idea I thought of today and wanted to write down somewhere:
Blank
X1RR
0/3
When Blank comes into play, it deals X damage to each creature and each player and put X +1/+0 counters on it.
Impure (whatever, it doesn't have to be)
I need help working on the cost/toughness balance for this card.

The first can be: How does everyone else feel about the apparent merger of these sets?
I don't mind, but I do have an even weirder idea: Let's run them separately with a little bit of overlap. Everyone can submit to whichever set he/she wants, but let's not have too many ideas overlap. If we design them concurrently but in some measure of isolation we'll see which ideas seem to work well and which don't.
The only other thing I will say about your assigning purity types along creature type lines is that you probably won't have enough Starlets or wurmites.
