Limbosis: the Sixth Circle: Themes

Mechanics | Skeleton | Themes | TODO designs

Seems limited archetypes want to be less defined by color pairs and more by mechanics, where colorless mana can be used to fix mana and possibly enable splashing various cards.

extra colorless hybrid common slot per common?
have the archetype enabling/defining cards be the colorless hybrids? (ie. Paradox History and Starsleeper?)

Mechanical themes per color

True colorless

Shares all the set mechanics with other colors in form of {C/R} hybrids.

White

Centering 1 (After your draw step, put a temporary +1/+1 counter on a creature you control that's removed as the turn ends.)
Delusion X (When this enters, you gain X life until it leaves.)
increasing costs

Blue

Dreamwalk
"Lantern control"

Red

needs a lot extra material mechanically
deja vu seems like it could fit well? why was it originally dropped as a mechanic?
given red has Starsleeper, could it also have Subconscious Recall?

TODO Limited archetypes

{w} :

X-matters
Exile matters (exile occurrences)

Top control (lantern control inspired)

Exile matters (exile consuming, exile counting)

Exile matters (exile recursion)

Colorless fix-ramp, X-matters, Centering

White & Green have too many themes compared to others. Move X-matters to {r} ? OR generate enough interconnecting themes for all the other color pairs.
