Disney World: Front Page

Skeleton

This is something I like to do for myself, which is to design a sample booster of a set to see how reception is and determine whether or not there is enough design space to pursue a full set of this. Please let me know any opinions you have on the set themes, set mechanics, or set design. Here are the mechanics for this set:

Wish: The main mechanic for the set. Found in {w} {u} {g} {r} . It reads "To wish, name a card type, then reveal the top card of your library. If you revealed a card of the named type, put it into your hand and your wish is granted." This is usually accompanied by effects that trigger if a wish is granted. In a properly constructed deck, there will be numerous ways for you to know what the top card of your library is - Whistling Dwarf, Colors of the Wind, and Animated Candlestick are some examples of cards that will help guarantee your wish.

Transform: Transform returns in this set, since a lot of fairytales (and thus, Disney movies) have some sort of "transformation" - Maleficent's dragon form, Mulan's disguise, Aladdin's prince outfit, etc. Transform is closely tied to Wish, but there would be a number of cards (read: villainous cards) that don't involve wishing that can transform.

Ensemble: One of the other mechanics for this set. Found in {w} {g} {r} {b} . Since musicals are a big component of Disney films, this mechanic is to encourage you to play cards of the same converted mana cost (Ensemble always triggers based on the converted mana cost of the card that it's on - see Yowling Mutts). All ensemble cards will be in the range of 2-5 CMC. Since this would be a small set (bigger than Coldsnap, but not by much), Ensemble will usually involve drafting cards of similar converted mana costs. Since there's a lot of library manipulation due to Wish in this hypothetical set, Ensemble will encourage you constructing your deck in a certain way to consistently get these triggers.

Treasure: A minor theme in this set, since there are pirates and mermaids and all sorts of villains that want some sort of treasure. These will generally help cast ramp spells or cast multiple cards to trigger Ensemble in one turn. It's found in {u} {b} {r} .

Spite: A villain-exclusive mechanic. Designed to be anti-Wish, it's very very similar to Fateseal. As such, it will only be one card at a time, and in limited amounts. It's pretty unfun, but I wanted a villainous mechanic that didn't involve overt destruction or maliciousness. Sending a card you don't like to the graveyard seems just the right amount of spiteful for the feel of the set. It's found in {b} {u} . with a splash of {w} for punishment-esque effects.
