The nature folk of Ghumata The Ghumata Elves are the natives of Akeztan, living in the lush jungles centuries before humans or other species discovered the continent and made it their home too. The Ghumata are sceptical of all these intruders, and they fight them whenever they try to harm their...

I love this. Awesome.

Just came to my mind: With Tame, Smithing and Swarm we'd have 3 creature keywords already. Cycle is neutral, but we should add at least one spell keyword. One of my all time favorites that never saw much of print is Retrace. We could consider this for {G}/{U}{B} and make them care about lands...

I'm down for it. We should probably make them really intelligent insect people, so they fit the blue centered scheme. Could you post a few example of cards and maybe rough flavor guidelines for us?:)

Didn't you have that invaders/swarm idea for the {U}/{R}{G} faction, Ondee?

Yeah, the cards are definitely not thought though completely, just wanted to settle for a direction, I'm glad you like it :) I love the idea to have the 3-colored common for each wedge have cycling, I'm on board. Oh, and @sorrynametaken, we could use coordinate for the mardu faction still...

The Guards of Nipur Nipur is a huge City carved into the Northern Mountains. It is ruled be the Guards of Nipur who control the city and fight for their independency. For generations, they have been excellent weapon- and armorsmith, which is a big part of the reason, their military force is...

What about giving the {R}/{W}{U} faction an ability word: Smithing - *static ability given to all equipped creatures you control* That would be a simple mechanic, to not make the set hyper complex, but still soemthing with a lot of potential. The flavor of blacksmiths giving bonusses to...

I don't really like mobilize And scrolls feel a little too sweet as well. I do like swarm, but do you have any play experiece with it? Can't it get annoying tobfight against many creatures many times over and over? Also, on an unrelated note, I still like the idea of embalm for the mardu desert...

Yeah you're right with all that. But to the overlap point, I don't see a problem with that, since 1. tame works with having P>T creatures, with short- and longterm pump, and with tap/untap stuff, pretty easy to overlap with these in some way. And 2. the factions are far more than just their...

Hmm, I have to say, I like the idea. A -1/-1 counters would capture of domeaticating well and we could create stronger upsides. I like both version, this and the one we settled on before. I'll let the others decide. Edit: actually, now that I check the cards we created so far as example, the -...

I prefer the way where we say "Turtle Beast" for example, or just find beast art, that fits the flavor, because a supertype is something that leads to high expectations and such, like a lot of cards with that type and maybe a use over more than one set (I mean, there are technically some wild...

You ninja'd me again ... but I agree with everything you said, except I'm not a fan of a supertype for a relatively small mechanic still.

The thing with something like a card supertype is, that it seems really odd and over the top to do it in a faction set where it's only relevant for a small portion of cards. It should then be a world thing, but for that, the mechanic seems far too narrow. I don't love the non-beast clause...

Oh, didn't know that working thing. Well, I think the Melira-case is irrelevant, but the unlimited tapping ... Untamed X (Tap any number of non-beast creatures with total power X or greater: Put a tame counter on this creature. Tame only as a sorcery and if this creature has no tame counter on...

That's a great idea, thanks! We should definitely do this after we got the mechanics and core identities of the factions. The idea of having this faction focus around blacksmith work and equipments seems like shoe-in for me, really neat idea. I like it more than my invaders-thought from...

Okay, first on our Khunda Tribes mechanic. I'm cool with not giving them a downside mechanic, though I'm pretty confident, that echo and cumulative upkeep polled so bad, because they have literally no reason to be on a card. What gives a creature these abilities, especially echo, flavorwise...

I agree with most what you said Ondee, just super busy today. Will reply in full length tomorrow friends.

Sorry for quadruple post, I'm in a developing rage. Here's another example of what could be a nice, flavorful upside with this mechanic's version:. https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/cards_ip/1539738445289258.png?t=651816

Thinking about it, we should maybe consider setting the number for untamed independently from the P/T to some degree. I mean, humans also tame and domesticate animals stronger than them. And you don't have to threaten to kill an animal to tame it, just threatening pain is usually enough. Mean...
