Mechanics | Skeleton | Themes | TODO designs

mechanics think

• ? for colorless hybrids, add to reminder "This is red, not colorless."

• should awareness specify that the creature still can't block while tapped (except dreamwalk)?

  • maybe "While untapped, this creature can block any creature attacking you regardless of its abilities"?

• How would 'Haunt' fare in the set? might need reminder that haunting ends if creature leaves exile

• is CENTERING meaningfully different enough from EXALTED?

• now that Centering/Focus uses +1/+1 counters, how about cards which remove +1/+1 counters from permanents as a cost? (Vithian Dryad)

• Exploration of phasing?

• card with "Deja vu" (as not-keyworded) at a higher rarity

• clearly translating and recollecting the limited archetypes originally designed for two color purple

• how are Eldrazi going to relate to these colorless themes? Are they going to make an appearance at all? How about devoid?

"Cards Every Set Should Have"

general notes

• When applicable, using types "Nightmare" and "Weird" over types such as "Horror"

todo cards

• some card at each rarity in each color?

• couple more "friendly to " cards

• some planeswalker or even a mythic sorcery that creates an emblem with lots of centering (ie. 'permanent' centering power)

• 'haunt' callback card; ie. 'for as long as this card is exiled, then target blaa' (turns aura-like on death?)

• more enchantment synergy (One Gold-Hearted)

  • p/t equal to # of enchantments (Hollow Psalacantha)

• more Scour stuff in general?

• cards that exile cards from your graveyard (as a cost?) Grave-Eater's Glare, Drakeling of Cosmic Ashes... more?

• an (uncommon) card that can tap your creatures as a cost ('on board combat trick' with dreamwalk, exalted vibes for centering)

• ? a black uncommon that makes creature(s) lose all abilities UEOT

• "draw a card, then exile a card from your hand" // "Draw a card, then put a card from your hand on the bottom of your library." (Currentspeaker Owl)

• cards that "pitch" other cards from hand, like Force of Will (Lucid Sleepwalker, Shred Ego, Awakening Light)

• Torment Nightmares that temporarily exile stuff, but when used with stuff like Dreamleech, do so permanently

• Nightmare and/or Aetherborn tribal buffs?

• Phasing + Delusion (phasing out doesn't count as leaving the battlefield)?

• (((Metabolic Surge))) reprint?

• black with "any number of target players exile their graveyards"

• black devoid cards, colorless creatures get +1/+1?

• torment black beaters where opponent can exile grave to prevent damage?

• Petravark?

• with Infinite tutor needs prolly should have few 0-cost cards (Moulder, Waste)

DONE / addressed list

• explicit Scour trigger/boost card at uncommon? (Null Seer, Currentspeaker Owl)

• are enchantments going to be a thing here or not? for example, is there going to be a nonbasic land that enters untapped, produces , and is an enchantment? / enchantments are a thing / producing lands are going to be uncommon+, not sure about having one with enchantment type, likely not

• Handling (providing tools) of colorless as something you "splash" for / bunch of these now

• Cut delusion from set it doesn't play into colorless, X, exile, themes? -- does however thematically play into nightmare 'until leaves' mechanics -- delusion seems fine

• shimmer (enchantment reflections) would fit well into this set with enchantment themes perhaps not; shimmers use (regular) +1/+1 counters which can be confusing with centering

• some heavy-centering green creature(?) on slot CG07 Protector of Perennial Flow

• "Sacrifice a creature: Exile target card in a graveyard." (Unfullfillment Cranium)

• Tormod's Crypt? (Moulder)

• Something like Elite Spellbinder reprint or "Censorship"? // Something like Brain Maggot which was deactivated? (High Expurgator)

• white enchantment removal effect

• or variable dude/hydra, Endless One? Stonecoil Serpent variant? Ugin's Conjurant, etc

  • Vithian Man a notable candidate, not yet slotted into the skeleton

• (((Emergency Gate))) Wastes reprint at uncommon? Something like "Celestial Portal" fetch-esque card?

• cards that Ingest (put into graveyard) face-up exiled stuff of your opponents (turn face-down instead)

• "Scry X, then draw a card", Instant, , maybe even white and sorcery speed (+ lifegain)? Superlative Imagination

• Arc-Slogger?

• Eye tribal? Grave-Eater's Glare

• some vigilance common card to interact as a drawback against dreamwalk derp that's Warden of the Beyond

• some white cards that's like +1/+1 for each enchantment you control as green card Hollow Psalacantha

• red uncommon/rare with "Whenever you cast/play a card from exile, ..." as common with Cinderhowl Fylgja

• creature with both flying and dreamwalk? Drakeling of Cosmic Ashes
