Yes on Retrace and Green graveyard value theme for {G}{B}{U}. Morbid and "dies" triggers(on self and "seeing" other things die) alongside some sacrifice effects. Fervent Dude {2}{R} Creature - Human Warrior When ~ dies, if it is your turn, the next spell you cast this turn costs {2} less...

At least one or two of the factions probably needs to be more straight-forward/aggro, right? The red-centered faction could be that, using tempo plays that push through damage now(combat tricks, burn, bounce/freeze effects). Here's a mechanic I was toying around with a couple years ago when I...

Could we use "Wild" as a supertype, like "Snow"? Does that have any weird rules baggage to worry about? I think keeping the Untamed X numbers following a certain pattern(meet or exceed power, pick one) is probably better in terms of grokability. On the drawbacks/upsides continuum topic: I...

I'm a long time lurker of the forum and this thread caught my eye. Throwing out some ideas: For set design purposes, you may want to be careful about having different kinds of counters hanging around, especially on the same type of permanent. I can feel the "board complexity creep" as I...

Using the names Fear and Intimidate is also awkward if WOTC ever decides to try to keyword the Wandering Wolf evasion, which I really think should be called Intimidate. The way I think of Menace is that the creature is single-mindedly barreling towards its target and will just run past a...

I've watched a few interviews conducted by Joe Rogan on youtube and while I like the chance to go in-depth with the guests, Joe takes things on his own tangents for way too long: "So I've been doing this no grain diet." "Where does, like, creativity come from?"

I like the card a lot for its versatility and play it in my peasant cube. The card is a mechanics and flavor win. [On attacks the Deftblade Elite engages an enemy, letting your other attackers through. On blocks or attacks, he either goes for the kill, or takes a defensive stance.] The story...

How does the deftblade being pumped to a 3/1 survive survive any better? I can see it holding up a blocker each combat, but how did your friend keep it alive for several combat steps while also killing things in combat with it? If you use the damage prevention ability neither deftblade nor the...

Maybe they didn't want prowess along with the landfall pump creatures. That's my speculation.

On the topic of signets:What if they required a hybrid mana of the appropriate type to activate instead of colorless?

I put together a an Innistrad draft set with 2x commons and 1x uncommons. It was quite playable with 2 player grid drafts. I made it so each grid had 6 commons and 3 uncommons. I think upping the count on certain archetype enablers(3x Armored Skaab instead of 2?)might improve it, but I...

This fits in well with the Domain/Multicolor theme. Most of the time it should produce at least 2 mana if not more. Bloom Tender More clash shenanigans? Recross the Paths Quite unique if kicked Hunting Wilds

Animal Hybrids: Perhaps; especially if it fits with a mad scientist vibe. @Eric I'd rather stick primarily with the rules I have set so far regarding creature types. Humans, wildlife, zombies, and golems/constructs. After reading your post and checking the animal list again, I realized I left...

There actually are a few airships(Rishadan Airship, Stronghold Zeppelin, Talas Air Ship) and some decent birds in Blue. My initial list of Blue humans is quite small because I excluded some more narrow cards. Perhaps I can push an overall artifact theme with golems, myrs and such that Blue...

This is an idea I've been thinking about for a while. The basic concept is an environment with no non-human humanoids(Elves, Goblins and so on...). I am imagining a world that has magic but doesn't have dragons, angels or demons, but magically enhanced real life animals may exist such as Mystic...
