alright, my set does not nave a name, but it does have all the artifacts that will be in it (6 artifacts)
the set is very blue based, and is the second set in the block....
The idea behind the set is that the aether is starting to fall apart, and creatures coming out of the aether have effects from it... an example would be
Aether Guy W
Creature-soldier
if Aether Guy has summoning sickness it gets +1+2
1/1
yeah.... thats how the set works...
The idea is that green and white have been using aether as a source of life, but when blue decides to study it, the aether starts to crumble, and then black starts harvesting aether.... yeah its wierd....
Also, I know islandhome does not work exactly how I want it (as it is meant for creatures) but I am going to leave it like it is
anyway.... without further ado, the artifacts from my set (names pending)

Life infused stone 1

Green creatures get +1+1

Didnt they usually throw in a real good hoser for last block in the 2nd set of the new block? meh;, I remember hearing that somewhere, but cannot in any way back it up, so meh'...
I want to believe the cards because it would mean a decent metagame change....
[b]alright, if wolfood can bring back his favorite of his stories... I suppose I will too... regarding my stories.... does this mean Ill start writing again? no.... but it means there is hope..
This one is Making Magic Realistic.... there was another part, but I dont think Ill ever see that again[/b]
The Basis of the Game
Both players start at equal life, which, in itself, is not very realistic. Not all humans are born equal. In fact, some humans are born a month or two early. These "Primis" who get an early start on life, must have some kind of advantage over the regular people. Shouldn't Primis start at more than twenty life? Should they have twenty-five life? And what about cripples, or the mentally challenged. I am not saying I have anything against them, just that the general public does, and that they should be starting with less life because of that. Then there is racism. Many ethnicities will come across racism sometime in there life, and you would think that that racism would give them less of a chance in life. How can you get into a college if the college administrators are being racist? You can't, so they are taking away some of your lifepoints. How about the people who live in New Jersey, do your really think people in New Jersey have as much of a chance at life as say someone living in New Hampshire?
There are, however, exceptions to these rules. Talk to any Chinese person. There is a 90% chance that person is smarter than you. Now, the Chinese are a minority in the place where magic was created (America), and therfore, this is one minority that should get a bonus for being a minority in playing magic. There bonus doesn't even need to be higher lifepoints. Maybe they get to start with 8 or 9 cards in there hand (rather than 7) or start the game with a land already in play. You could even consider giving people of different ethnicities certain disadvantages or advantages for playing certain colors. Like, maybe a black person, playing black, would get to start with one creature from there deck already in there graveyard. White people playing white could start the game with a 1/1 white soldier token in play already.. If that person is even more white (albino, yes, I am talking about wolfwood) then they could perhaps start with two 1/1 white soldier tokens already in play. Indians playing red could start with one burn card (of there choice) already in there hand. This could make the game not only more intricate, but much more offensive.
The Phases
Some Magic (the Gathering) players do not deserve all the steps they do have. Autists should pick one phase at the beginning of the game, and stick with it throughout the game. Mentally challenged people on the other hand, should only be able to draw untill the end of there 6th turn. The Chinese should probably get to draw 2 cards per turn, and white people, well, they should probably have 2 of everything or else they will start complaining.
Color Representations
Black
There is already racism in the game of magic. Some black (african american?) creatures have the abilitiy to "destroy target creature". This may or may not be saying that young black males are involved in murders. Another black ability is the ability to not be blocked by creatures that aren't artifact, or black. This ability is called Fear. Does this mean that the magic playing population should be afraid of black people?
Green
Green is the color of farmers. I say this because one of green's abilities is to be able to pull land out of your deck. There are sometimes Wierd Harvests that allow you to pull up creatures. Green also is the best color at destroying artifacts. Most farmers, however, do not like destoying artifacts. In fact, many farmers work with artifacts such as tractors, and plows.
Red
Red would most likely be the color of the hispanic. it is a violent color, that is accustomed to heat. The main message behind red is, don't mess with me, or Ill set your ass on fire. Red could also be considered the color of druggies, as they are always lighting up. Is Wizards of the Coast calling hispanics potheads? You be the judge.
White
White is the color of the middle class white American. For the most part, they are stupid, and disliked by me.(thats right, I'm self hating) For the most part, they try to control everything. Many people think it is blue that tries to control everything. They are wrong. Blue is just smarter than you, so it does control everything. White only tries to.
Blue
Blue would be most assosciated with asians. Because Asians are smart. Any asian could tell you that my last sentence was not in fact a sentence, but a sentence fragment. Unless you are asian, you most likely thought it was an actual sentence. This is how blue controls things. By being smarter than you. They control all knowledge, and therefore, control almost everything. Some people think blue represents the jewish. This is because those people are rednecks, and believe in the New World Order, and the five jewish bankers. They are most definatly not blue.
Artifact
The last "color" is artifact. I am not going to say anything about artifacts because I am so sick of them.[/b]
lo', Im glad I heard about this place from wolfwood.... sucks aboout news, but meh' I actually remember the creation of this place when I said it wouldnt be needed... Looks like Im eating crow tonight
