  The goal with this project is to emulate the feeling of a timeless core set. My theory is that the current model of Magic we have will falter and eventually settle into having a 'final' core set of maybe 3000 cards that best encapsulate the flavor of the game. Not saying I want MtG to end, but it is inevitable. How they choose to end it is the question...

  I do love the original but if you had to design a card with the name "Dawn Elemental" what would you do? What comes to mind? I feel like 'blinding' the enemies creatures is greater flavor than preventing all damage dealt to it.

  Why doesn't blue get damage prevention? White gets it because they're the healing and damage prevention color, so that makes sense. And blue? The color of illusions, manipulation, and evasion. Seems perfectly flavorful to me.

  Thanks, and yeah, probably. Need an additional word for the name. Something Shepherd.

  I had considered using the 'Retconned' mechanic, but I feel the cards look better without it. Will definitely note in the comments whether a card had a previous 'real' counterpart.

  This set is just for my own pleasure. Like, if I was Richard Garfield or MaRo, with all these experience they've gained over the years, and had to go back and start over, or MtG had maybe been a digital game (where cards could be altered between patches) what would it look like?

  Also, trying to emulate the feeling of a timeless core set. My theory is that MtG will eventually do away with expansions (run out of ideas, feel like they're treading the same ground over and over) and settle into having a 'final' core set of maybe 3000 cards that best encapsulate the flavor of the game. Not saying I want MtG to end, but it is inevitable. How they choose to end it is the question...

  I know, but who's to say they're moving in the right direction? Or that they won't return to a color and landwalk based set? Also how is landwalk nonsensical? :(

  Such a great card though.

  Its actually Nature's Lore in white. As far as white land ramp, as long as its not an overwhelming presence, what's the issue?

  This card is OP. Buyback in general is OP.
