[b]Story[/b]
On the plane of Izaldor, on the outer reaches of the known multiverse, planeswalkers are gathering. Alton, through careful study of Karn, had developed a method for removing a planesswalkerspnrk from one
being, and placing into another. He has slowly built a small cult following, calling themselves the Hallowsin, and is beginning to become a threat to all planeswalkers. All planeswalkers opposed to
Alteon have gathered, forming the temporary alliance, self-named the Planeguard.
Izaldor is a barren plane in the distant reaches of the multiverse. An ancient and unknown calamity had wiped all life from the surface, driving it into large underground caverns. In the Largest of these
caverns, Dragons rule the peeks of stalagmites, merfolk swim in the vast underground lakes, and giant beasts thunder through tangles of large vines. Massive Wurms move throughout a vast underground
network of tunnels, and a seemingly infinite population of insects can be found infesting the plane. On the surface, a faceless and empty world stares into an empty sky. Occasionally, some monstrosity
will force it's way to the surface, quickly retreating from the bright light back underground.
[b]Set Breakdown:[/b]
60 cards of each color, 30 multicolored/colorless, 20 colorless/land, about 25 planeswalker(not counted in colors.)= ~375 Cards when finished
15 mythics(2 in each color, 5 colorless/multi), 6-7 races in each color, 15- uncommon in each color, ~35 common in each color
[b]General Information/Mechanics[/b]
So far, that's what we've got for the story(me and two friends are working on this set). The original idea was an underground plane, but with when origins came out, we decided that instead, we wanted a set that was a war between planeswalkers. In the end, we ended up with this story. Only recently have we actually begun any designing(we had been to busy with school). The intention of this set is to be centered entirely around the idea of limited play, though more specifically, drafting. Planeswalkers will, of course, be central to gameplay, so a good number of cards will require a planeswalker to play around. We decided, however, making the set dependent on them would cause... problems in a limited environment, so it should, when the set is complete, be possible to build a deck that is centered around planeswalkers, but most decks can work well without them.
The set will focus mostly on individual colors. Insects will serve as the sliver-esque tribe, spanning all five colors. Wurms will serve as a BRG suedo-tribe. They won's get any real lords, but will interact with each other more than usual. In certain colors, there will be smaller tribes that are associated with them- red and goblins, blue and merfolk, green and elves. Humans in white, as well as zombies in black, while not as iconic, will be included. These tribes will not take up much space in each color, with a maximum of 15 cards per tribe and no more than three lords.
There will be two planeswalkers in each color, one in each set of two colors(RG, WB, etc.), one colorless, and one five-colored AT LEAST. We may possibly add 3 or 4 more, making about 25-ish planeswalkers.
The focus of the set will not be on guilds or tribe colors, and planeswalkers will end up being a sub-theme. The main focus of the set will be individual color power, really try to go back to the color-pie. Black will support black, and this will be true for all colors. This is so colors really hold onto each of their individual strengths and weaknesses, so you can use other colors to compensate for those weaknesses. The intended effect of doing this is to enrich limited play by using colors not because you drafted a strong card in those colors, but because you have a weakness that another color can hold up.
[b]Mechanics:[/b]
Absorb N- If a source would deal damage to thiscreatue, prevent N of that damage. A keyword used only once before- Lymph Sliver- that we think would go well with white in this set. Flavor wise, it down't offer a lot though, and since we barely have any cards designed right now, we're open to replacements. Tunnel N- When this creature enters the battlefield, you may tap N untapped lands you control. If you do, effect. This keyword goes to wurms, and works with wurms. Fateseal N- To fateseal N, look at the top N cards of an opponent's library, put any number of them on the bottom of that library in any order, and put the rest on top of that library in any order. This will be black's keyword. Black is going to consist mostly of demons and their servants, so messing with the opponents library seemed... fitting. This ability is als a returning ability. Contain [Cost]- You may cast this card for it's outrage cost. If you do, effect. This is the red keyword. The idea is that if the creature can contain it's rage, it will come out more powerful. Consume [Cost]- Whenever this creature attacks, you may pay [cost], if you do, this creature gets +2/+2 and gains trample until end of turn. Green keyword. It's stomp. It turns little guys into threats, and threats into bigger threats. What more do you want? Enlighten N- Look at the top N cards of your library. You may put one into your hand. Put the rest on the top or bottom of your library in any order. This is essentially scry, but it lets you put a card in your hand, and ALL the cards either go on top or on the bottom. This is the blue keyword. Evergreen Keywords- What kind of set would this be if we dropped these?

[b]Story[/b]
On the plane of Izaldor, on the outer reaches of the known multiverse, planeswalkers are gathering. Alton, through careful study of Karn, had developed a method for removing a planesswalkerspnrk from one
being, and placing into another. He has slowly built a small cult following, calling themselves the Hallowsin, and is beginning to become a threat to all planeswalkers. All planeswalkers opposed to
Alteon have gathered, forming the temporary alliance, self-named the Planeguard.
Izaldor is a barren plane in the distant reaches of the multiverse. An ancient and unknown calamity had wiped all life from the surface, driving it into large underground caverns. In the Largest of these
caverns, Dragons rule the peeks of stalagmites, merfolk swim in the vast underground lakes, and giant beasts thunder through tangles of large vines. Massive Wurms move throughout a vast underground
network of tunnels, and a seemingly infinite population of insects can be found infesting the plane. On the surface, a faceless and empty world stares into an empty sky. Occasionally, some monstrosity
will force it's way to the surface, quickly retreating from the bright light back underground.
[b]Set Breakdown:[/b]
60 cards of each color, 30 multicolored/colorless, 20 colorless/land, about 25 planeswalker(not counted in colors.)= ~375 Cards when finished
15 mythics(2 in each color, 5 colorless/multi), 6-7 races in each color, 15- uncommon in each color, ~35 common in each color
[b]General Information/Mechanics[/b]
The set will focus mostly on individual colors. Insects will serve as the sliver-esque tribe, spanning all five colors. Wurms will serve as a BRG suedo-tribe. They won's get any real lords, but will interact with each other more than usual. In certain colors, there will be smaller tribes that are associated with them- red and goblins, blue and merfolk, green and elves. Humans in white, as well as zombies in black, while not as iconic, will be included. These tribes will not take up much space in each color, with a maximum of 15 cards per tribe and no more than three lords.
There will be two planeswalkers in each color, one in each set of two colors(RG, WB, etc.), one colorless, and one five-colored AT LEAST. We may possibly add 3 or 4 more, making about 25-ish planeswalkers.
The focus of the set will not be on guilds or tribe colors, and planeswalkers will end up being a sub-theme. The main focus of the set will be individual color power, really try to go back to the color-pie. Black will support black, and this will be true for all colors. This is so colors really hold onto each of their individual strengths and weaknesses, so you can use other colors to compensate for those weaknesses. The intended effect of doing this is to enrich limited play by using colors not because you drafted a strong card in those colors, but because you have a weakness that another color can hold up.
[b]Mechanics:[/b]
Absorb N- If a source would deal damage to thiscreatue, prevent N of that damage. A keyword used only once before- Lymph Sliver- that we think would go well with white in this set. Flavor wise, it down't offer a lot though, and since we barely have any cards designed right now, we're open to replacements.
Tunnel N- When this creature enters the battlefield, you may tap N untapped lands you control. If you do, effect. This keyword goes to wurms, and works with wurms.
Fateseal N- To fateseal N, look at the top N cards of an opponent's library, put any number of them on the bottom of that library in any order, and put the rest on top of that library in any order. This will be black's keyword. Black is going to consist mostly of demons and their servants, so messing with the opponents library seemed... fitting. This ability is als a returning ability.
Contain [Cost]- You may cast this card for it's outrage cost. If you do, effect. This is the red keyword. The idea is that if the creature can contain it's rage, it will come out more powerful.
Consume [Cost]- Whenever this creature attacks, you may pay [cost], if you do, this creature gets +2/+2 and gains trample until end of turn. Green keyword. It's stomp. It turns little guys into threats, and threats into bigger threats. What more do you want?
Enlighten N- Look at the top N cards of your library. You may put one into your hand. Put the rest on the top or bottom of your library in any order. This is essentially scry, but it lets you put a card in your hand, and ALL the cards either go on top or on the bottom. This is the blue keyword.
Evergreen Keywords- What kind of set would this be if we dropped these?
