Well, actually, the multicor commons I'm suggesting are more flexible than the Khans commons with off color activation costs, as they go into three of the five factions. They're practically monocolored in that regard, except that they build identity at the common level, which is the backbone of...

The hybrid activation is a sweet idea, I'm in! Khans has 15 multicolor identity cards; five three-color cards with morph, and two enemy color activation cards per color (for a total of 10 additional cards). I think we should have 15 as well. Not sure we should do 10 hybrid activations, how...

Do we want hybrid mana in the set? Like, a {u/r} card is playable in 4 of the 5 factions. I think we've got to consider it at least. Like morph, hybrid would help keep cards castable, especially if we put them at a single hybrid mana.

I'ld say retail style. You could do something like ravnic's Ravnica Remastered, which runs one copy of the rares, three copies of the uncommons, and six copies of the commons, if you want to turn this into a cube. Or pregenerate a lot of boosters and pick only as many as you need to draft.

I added an authors section at the top, so we can identify ourselves

If we're going by Khans of Tarkir's design skeleton, there will be no allied color cards. That's still the way to go, I think, but .i sometimes trip myself up when brainstorming cards. I definitely didn't mean to add a Dimir card to the set, sorry :) I think you're right about the mana fixing...

Ok, I set up a design skeleton for us to work on. Haven't filled in many details, just used the template I linked to in the document and put in five speculative gold slots (at the expense of a matching slot in a mono-colored section). https://etherpad.net/p/Vakeztan

Lame flavor text included to for layout purposes. Is this too much? I like most of what this is, but the P/T and amount of damage could be tweaked. Hard to cast, hard to maintain, but hits like a truck when you supply it with enough fodder. That's the idea.

I can't really think of a good design right now for Okat himself, but this is some killer art by Pete Mohrbacher for the card. Art link

Good points all!

I like Doctrine of Blood as the name of the religion this faction follows. I think it carries the sacrifice theme better than "God of the Burning Sky". I like Okat though, how about Okat, the Many-Veined? (Can we print Okat as a three-color indestructible mythic god that requires sacrifice?) I...

Yeah, I reckoned it was why ravnic went with oblation. The Kamigawa keyword follows the pattern "<creature type> offering", so the syntax is different, and was used on only five creatures, but we probably still shouldn't reuse the word. I just didn't feel like coming up with something else, and...

Also, what if we make it a bit broader again, to overlap with the equipment faction? Offering — If an artifact or creature was put into your graveyard this turn, ~ enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.

The only way I see redemption working is if we find a way to keep the spell acceptable when it's turned off and when it's turned on. We need to keep the rewards small but tangible. High-Priest feels reasonably appropriate, the other three feel underwhelming when a creature didn't die, and in the...

Well, I'm playing commander this Friday, so right back at ya! :P

Yeah, I recently switched from Woolly Thoctar to Fiery Justice. I have high hopes! :)

Wait. You finally got me on board with oblation, and now you want me to instead go for a more narrow and swingier morbid? I think the difference between on and off is way too big. I mean, you're right that it feels like it needs to be, but I don't think it creates fun games. "Oh nice, four...

Sorry, but I had to post this... Art link Itnask, Apostle of Blood Art link Blood Pet Art link Axe Zealot I love the idea of a bunch of orcs shaping a semblance of a lawful society by following The Doctrine of Blood, having a strong clergy that codified a mishmash of traditional orcish...

I think I'ld rather try out oblation. Though I do have my reservations, it does seem more interesting, and I think all of your cards with the mechanic are promising and look balanced. Can we reuse thrulls? They worked well for the "syndicated religion"-theme in Orzhov, and they're well known...
