Draft set based on The Stormlight Archive

This is an expansion based on the world of Roshar and the storyline of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. This is a very richly-designed world with a lot of interesting characters and qualities. As such, I think it is a great candidate to make an MTG expansion out of. I know there is another group on this site that has already made one, but really, I'm just doing this for my own enjoyment, so...

Note that this set is being designed specifically for me to proxy and draft as a cube. Each card is meant to be playable in draft and designed for that purpose. As such, complexity will be high, cards may be pushed, and this will be a set for highly-invested players.

Also, color identity is really difficult to figure out for a lot of the characters, and for the set as a whole, so bear with me. On top of that, there are still 7 more books to come out, but I'm not waiting to make this until it's all done. So things may change drastically as books are released.

You can track that kind of thing? XD

On Gandalf the Grey:
on 2023-06-06 12:39:24 by Alex:

Heh. I was wondering why one card had got so much search traffic recently. But this card of course now matches card names of the upcoming Universes Beyond Middle-Earth set.

On Strength Before Weakness:
on 2020-03-03 00:10:25 by Phopus:

It's only six lines, which is a lot for a common but does happen several times every set. And this entire set is built around tracking the graveyard. It's definitely something to keep any eye on, but I think that this is fine as is.

On Indefinite Detention:
on 2020-03-03 00:05:26 by Phopus:

This templating is based on Mardu Blazebringer, Runaway Carriage, and several others. I think the end step sacrifice is more used for tokens created by another card.

On Rhythm of Resolve:
on 2020-03-03 00:02:36 by Phopus:

It would be preferable, but this is based on a book series in which there isn't a good pre-existing creature type for the race this mechanic is based on.

On Strength Before Weakness:
on 2020-02-13 08:29:32 by Tahazzar:

Would be red-flagged for text length and also for adding to board complexity when in your graveyard that also requires tracking graveyard.

On Indefinite Detention:
on 2020-02-07 06:41:09 by Tahazzar:

Play it on Odium's Pawn (ᵔᴥᵔ)

... Oh, it's sacrificed at end of combat... Why are these sacrificed at the end of combat and not at the beginning of the end step as is usually the case?

On Rhythm of Resolve:
on 2020-02-05 22:37:24 by continuumg:

I’d be tempted to make parah an existing creature type, like insect or homarid

On Cultivation:
on 2020-01-15 20:09:48 by Phopus:

Playtesting showed this as WAY too powerful at 2GG, though I did almost mill out after he "killed" it 3 or 4 times.

On Provoke*:
on 2019-12-08 21:57:06 by Phopus:

This was too close in function to Hunting Expedition. It's been cut.
