  • posted a message on My Odd New Set Ideas
    So, I've been thinking about my own Magic set to make, and I think I've come up with some interesting, new ideas of late.

    I have no storyline or name for it yet, (suggestions would obviously be helpful) but I have a few mechanics & combo-y sort of things.


    Fade Away X(or something of the sort) - Shuffle/put this card on the bottom of your library (unsure), do (ability). Activate this ability only if you control X or mare lands.

    Example:
    Abandoned Fortress - (0) (R)
    Land
    ~ enters the battlefield tapped.
    {t}: Add B or W to your mana pool.
    Fade Away 2 - Put this card on the bottom of your library, put 2 1/1 white and black spirit tokens with flying onto the battlefield. Activate this only if you control 2 or more lands.


    Contemplate X - Randomly reveal and put X cards from your deck on the bottom of it in a random order. do (ability, based on what you reveal).

    Example:
    journey Into The Distance - UU (U)
    Sorcery
    Contemplate 4 - Randomly reveal and put 4 cards from your deck on the bottom of it in a random order. For each land card put on the bottom of your library this way, draw a card.


    Secrete - Exile the target card. Shuffle a proxy card into your library. When it leaves your library for any reason, reveal it, return the exiled card, then replace the card in whatever process it was involved in.

    Example: (probably waaay overpowered)
    Entomb in Roots 2G (C)
    Instant
    Secrete target creature. (~~)


    Other general ideas:
    ~Weird library based things, like "from the bottom" or like contemplate, or even "from the top"
    ~Land based (into graveyard, like Knight of The Reliquary, or the revealing like in Journey Into The Distance)

    Another few random example cards:
    Predatory Kauff 3RR (M)
    Creature-Beast
    Haste, Intimidate, Trample
    {t}: ~ fights target creature an opponent controls.
    Whenever a creature you don't control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
    2/6

    Beast Hunting - 3R (U)
    Sorcery
    As an additional cost to this card, you may tap any amount of creatures you control.
    Destroy target creature with power 5 or greater. Repeat this for each creature tapped to cast this.

    Thoughts? Suggestions? Please let me know your complete thoughts.
