...to address FoR's issue. I know that some block mechanics weren't addressed enough, therefore, I DO want SOME cards that have those "name abilities". For example, I feel like Buyback is been explored well enough to NOT be included in this set. HOWEVER, Fading was WAY ignored by WotC. It could've been a major ability; so if we DO get few good ideas with Fading, we will accept them; keep in mind that I said "FEW". Cycling is also helpful...I think it's one of the abilities that should be one of Magic's basics, just for the fact that it is really helpful. We will take some Cycling cards too, but I don't want the set to revolve around Cycling and/or Fading; maybe 2 or 3 cards for each ability, but that's it. Most of the cool stuff should made up right here, in the good ol'CPA.
For the unnamed mechanics, I would like some come into play creatures, but PLEASE, make them interesting. We don't want another Bone Shredder...we want something unique. (I already have a unique Bone Shredder creature made out
).
Alternative play costs are also really good. We should use some of those.
Basically, we could almost use ANY unnamed mechanic, AS long as we don't over use it.
Like I said, most of the set should be made up right here. Personally, I would even love if we DON'T have to use ANY of WotC's mechanics...but that's up to you too guys...
Well, so far, we know that we want color-interactive cards...cards like the Masters and Apprentices from Invasion. We want them unique and more playable, unlike what Invasion offered.
Some of my ideas is to make a couple of the "BIG" cards...cards like the Winds and Avatars from Prophecy. Big, huge effects...I would most likely perfer them to be Gold cards this time.
Most of all, like Invasion, this set should enable a player to easily interact colors...but UNLIKE Invasion, this set should also be able to keep mono-colored freaks happy, AND make "enemy" Gold cards.
The key to doing this is to use a couple of each idea, probably 50% for each: interactive and mono.
Also, I would like the cards to be submitted in here, please. This way, everyone could see the cards ANY time. I don't really want cards submitted to EACH person or something like that...this will be "person-dependant", meaning that the rest of us will not be able to judge or fix an idea until the person posts it. That's just my opinion.
Dues, I don't agree with you there. I don't like to have "guidelines" as to what I have to submit. I want people to submit "random" ideas, so we can see what each has. You could do it the way you want though, I'm just saying what I think is right.
Sometimes, I don't have the ability to come up with enchantments, for example, and that should NOT restrict me to post my ideas, don't you think?
One more thing, like Cateran Emp suggested...Artifacts should minimal in this set.
There.
(Sorry, FoR, for the long thread.)
