  That, sadly, would probably make sense. I'd say "Can't be blocked by flying creatures", but red will clearly have that. Can't be blocked by Green, Blue or Black creatures is pretty funny, but too kooky. "Can't be blocked by artifacts" might be a funny trick... especially since most of the artifact creatures will probably end up multi-aligned...

  "good players draft Severed Legion because black was very good, but great players drafted Anurid Murkdiver because black was very good"

  ­:) Yes, I agree about Weft Weaver -- I like it, but protection from something other than enchantments would make more sense.

  In fact, in the interests of having many "as simple as possible" spells, perhaps it should be "protection from multicolor"? That's less broken than normal because it can't fly and obviously what the mono/multi conflict needs.

  Most of this sounds about right, and reminds me that I need to pick up my combat tricks in the last few slots. I tried doing what Link did at first, throwing in some Flash Enchantments, but mine were too convoluted... Link got the idea right the first time. I think I'll just make some normal instants to contrast it all. After all, 10 enchantments should be plenty.

  I'm also a bit annoyed by my "White hates White" situation. Both Erstwhile and Weft Weaver look like great spells to me, but I have not one, but two spells in white that are best when playing against white. Maybe one of those cards should bump to uncommon, I don't know. As much as I like Weft Weaver, it doesn't do what it should be doing, anyways, which is evade past the multi-color deck. It's funny. It reminds me of the old meta-game break down in Onslaught Block draft, where good players draft Severed Legion because black was very good, but great players drafted Anurid Murkdiver because black was very good.

  I added a details page with a breakdown of several recent sets white commons (everyone feel free to add to it). Suggestions for numbers from that:

  • More creatures than non-creature spells, even with an even number of slots. (Spells that animate things or make tokens can count to that total)
  • 1 vanilla would be good but not necessary
  • ~1 spell that recurs a card from the graveyard (a delayed card draw could fill this slot)
  • Average 2-3 flyers, so we should probably have some evasion or an extra creature exile/tap/arrest
  • Average about 6 cards that are explicitly on theme (ie. blatantly say 'enchantment creature') but can be more if we like, and can have more general enchantments, enchantment recurring etc
  • 0-1 vigil
  • 1 removal
  • 2 combat-relevant instants
  • 1 art/ench removal (should probably be something for artifacts, or something which isn't bad to play on your own enchantments, so we don't end up with a white white-hoser to go with our blue blue-hosers)
  • 0-2 creatures which get bigger -- in this set we almost certainly want a Court Homunculus for enchantments, that's the simplest possible executation and quite good
  • 1-2 ways of gaining life (can be -- preferably are -- incidental)
  • 0-1 first strike
  • 0-2 1/4-type creature
  • 0-1 token maker
  • 1 prevent damage or grant protection (or protection creature)
