This is an ABC game. The poster who posts the letter Z creates the name of a Plane and a brief description (or as detailed as you want). Each player then builds the flavor of the Plane through cards, mechanics that tie into the theme, and flavor text/names of cards. The goal is to have a realized plane by the time you get to Z.
So step 1: Find out what the theme of the plane is.
Step 2: Find out what letter comes next.
Step 3: make a card to continue the flavor and expound on it.
To get us started here's the first plane, theme etc.
Mirrodin (New Phyrexia) - The plane Mirrodin created by Karn was swarmed and overwhelmed by the Phyrexians. Luckily Karn discovered a way to reboot his world and purge the virus that corrupted Mirrodin in the first place. Contained within Mirari, the Phyrexians can't harm any other realm. If Karn is successful Mirrodin will be Reborn, but the Phyrexians may escape and become a scourge on another plane. Karn struggles with his conscience and with what the right decision is. Does he commit genocide against the Phyrexians? Does he risk breaking quarrantine? He summons his friends, Allies, and enemies from his past present and future to help him decide what to do with the phyrexians.

Whenever you or a permanent you control become the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls you may draw a card. You may draw an additional card if Academy Ancillary is equipped. Rayne's life was slipping away under the hands of Greel. Karn plucked her essence out of time to help him make his most challenging decision.

Attacking creatures you control get +2/+0 and gain first strike until end of turn. Metalcraft - If you control three or more attacking artifact creatures, attacking creatures you control get +4/+0 and gain first strike until end of turn instead.
Am I doing it right?

Yeah that's fine. Just don't be afraid to veer away from what Mirrodin and Scars of Mirrodin gave us. We should progress flavorfully and as a plane toward Z.

Opal Mother -- 3W
Artifact Enchantment
Whenever another player casts an artifact or creature spell, if Opal Mother is an enchantment, you may have it become a 4/4 Human Knight artifact creaturewith first strike an lifelink.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Opal Mother is an enchantment, put a 1/1 colorless Myr artifact creature token onto the battlefield.
This is the old "Enchantments turning into creatures" mechanic from Urza's Saga with a bit of a twist.
I like it. Maybe Karn thinks a way to get rid of the phyrexian infection is by enchanting everything.
Parasite Lost - GB
Sorcery
Creatures with Infect get -1/-1 until end of turn and creatures without infect get +1/+1 until end of turn. Then creatures lose Infect until end of turn.
