For Challenge # 118. I wanted to take a different attack on Hybrid/Not Hyrbrid, so I went after color matters. It seems that one of the strengths of adding an 'inconsequential' hybrid symbol is that you 'accidentally' can sneak an extra color into the card.

Of course, normal hybrid works like that too. So the theme for a set like this has to be very different than what we saw in Shadowmoor. Instead, I tried to resurrect some Invasion flavor. The theme is that there are five colors that normally don't work together, but find that they must. So the colors are doing everything they can to support each other, but in their own narrow, color pie focused way. Order of Eladamri is a potential front runner in a 'green' deck that could be mono-white, or maybe white/red. Or it could be your usual solid support card in a Gw deck. Interesting choices for standard, and frustrating picks for limited.

I also turned on the color indicator, which is unnecessary. But I could see Wizards doing it in a set like this as a wink to players. You know, when I first started putting this together I thought to myself, "Well this is a cheezy way to solve the challenge." Now I kind of want to see this New Invasion set. Go figure.
