With a bit of time gears metallic orb shimmers into existence its power evident (OOC: FYI QFX summon something to chump). Given a moment for Gear to regain clarity he uses its power to lock down the beast into submission.
Gear: Alright Gully it has been incapacitated for the time being. Whats your next move with it?
....Um yeah.....no excuses though i had thought this was are already up.
So first turn is to UUD Draw alone with Jace (3 loyalty), drop an island. Attack Feyd with dragon draw a card (2 CIH). Play Time Warp target myself (1 CIH). Ping 3 tokens 2 of which are tom's setting the numbers back to where they were using my first island to make it work.
Next Turn UUD (2 CIH). Drop Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind Tapping 2 islands (the world explodes as the dragons stare at one another) 1CIH . Jace will draw me a card (2 loyalty) (2 CIH), Ping a soldier drop a island (1 CIH again). Attack Feyd again with dragon draw a card (2 CIH) Ping a sapling. Ping Feyd to draw 3 cards (5 CIH) and use 3 resulting pings to kill 3 tokens 2 of which are tom's again using my last island. That should be everything.
My Status should look like this at the end of turn.

Also if everything goes as explained tom will have made 11 tokens and Bron 8. I have over the course of these turns killed 5 of toms and 3 of Brons. Adding to my original totals I have killed 8 of toms leaving him with 2 and 6 of bron's leaving him with 2. See all even :).
Well then. We have 2 token mobs and we all got drained for a bunch. Just peachy.
Anyway.

Gear watches as the beast comes charging at him once again. As another black clockwork gear forms in front of him binding with the other two Gear previously summoned. The same metallic species of owl forms in front of gear again being crushed to oblivion as its claws tear the throat from the charging beast. Gears gaze goes towards the spiders in the distance and the need to stop them.
Gear: Gully, Kai, the spiders are breaking away!

Standard DCX Rules I think ban the top of the library from being known Don't they? But yeah it can not be known for this game. Also I'm for banning Mrs. I break the game planeswalker.
Yeah my wording is tech evidently. I am indeed game. So lets get things split up and rolling.
Standard Play order will be determined with in order in mind. Then we will do color order.
[dice=1]5[/dice]
[dice=1]4[/dice]
[dice=1]3[/dice]
[dice=1]2[/dice]
Whoever is left
White [dice=1]5[/dice]
Blue [dice=1]4[/dice]
Black [dice=1]3[/dice]
Red [dice=1]2[/dice]
Whoever is left gets green. I will update the first post once i get this rolled out.
"Most numerous" doesn't mean most playable or strongest, so I think that the player may have the opportunity to play Black Sliver if he wants!
Very true yet at the same time I have noticed that as a tribe goblins are rather degenerate, as are elves, sometimes wizards (some are stupid), and zombies. I really only thought white soldiers might be the weak link but didn't know what else to pick for them.
As far as the slivers go I did consider and still am just making them the free unified group. They are fairly present in all colors. Is there another creature type that is just as prevalent in all 5 colors (outside maybe humans)?
@Bron The reason for it is because I am limiting the creatures to only of the type I have picked. With at least 250 creatures per color and as many as 350ish in two cases I don't feel the need for access to any other creatures. This is supposed to be a special format game. Thus why the availability of all non-creature spells from the core sets which only adds about 150ish cards to each pool i think.
I could see offering you guys the choice of what tribe you want with your color assigned but those that I have picked have been the most numerous (unless i messed up somehow).
So right now if my list is correct I have
1. BronYAur
2. tomsloger
3.
4.

@ Tom Actually yes with the few tribal spell cards they would be game. And yeah changelings in the colors would also be in.
@Whamme I actually tried my best to find the largest tribes in each color. I thought about adding a second tribe to balance them out but had a rough time of it. Originally I was going to do soldiers and angels for white, dragons and goblins for red, wizards and menfolk for blue, demons and zombies for black, and beasts and elves for green but it seemed like way to many choices.
As for the lands it would be the lands from the core sets. They would be enabled but thats all. We have had a bit to much of the whole double land system lately that we don't need it anymore.
As for the cutting the carpool I suppose we could if people were interested but I would do something crazy like every other set from 4th on (so 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, M11, M13, and M15)
I'm intentially making sure some old sets are in the card pool for spells to pick from.
Ok another DC5 game with a twist (I'm not really a fan of the old fashioned normal DC5 if you can't tell).
5 player 5 creature types. Sounds simple no?
Rules:
Each player will have access to all the cards of a given type in their color including multicolor that shares it.
White-Soldier
Blue-Wizard
Black-Zombie
Red-Goblin
Green-Elf
Additionally you will have access to the spells of all the core sets 4th-M15. Meaning you may play any non-creature spells from these sets in your colors including artifacts (still no artifact creatures through).
Ill update other rules as they come up/become necessary. So who is interested?

Haha yeah I have seen how long Twilight Imperium can take its been temping but just never have pulled the trigger on that one because people always give me that look like I really need a dedicated group to play that one.
From your ideas though I love what i see with that Dead of Winter game. Wish it were out actually because having watched it play through it seems like an excellent game.
Hey has anyone played Carnival Zombie? I'm curious if its fun or not it gets good board game geek reviews but I have never run into a copy ever.
My favorite card has been and always will be Serra Angel. From the first time that I opened her all those years ago to now nothing has remained as iconic as her. Also i've way to many copies of her than i really wish to count.
Gear: Alright Gully it has been incapacitated for the time being. Whats your next move with it?

I'm going to update the first post
Gear: If that does not I can easily subdue the creature if you give me but a moment to do so.
Gear alludes to an ability to paralyze the beast rather than kill it should the need arise.
OOC: Icy manipulator is in the wings if we would like me to.
UUD Play Baby Jace. Table draws a card. Drop a Mutavault. Done.
