[OOC] Magic: The Custom Set-ening (Recruiting new members)

[ProPro]

So for the individual mechanic for Bellenar, I was thinking something that either treasons opposing creatures, or otherwise relies on your opponents' army in some way. It works for the "peaceful" faction vibe while still being dangerous, satisfies green's sense of community, white's law and order, and blue's fuck you I'm better than you are and being condescending about it hands off manipulation and mind games.

@ProPro That makes me think of something like detain.

"When this creature becomes blocked, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Tap blocking creatures, they don't untap during their next untap."
That's just adding to detain while making it more specific in the hopes to level it evenly.
The block clause is white. The tap clause is blue. The +1/+1 is white and green.
Just an idea, I don't expect it to be taken.

I just realized that every faction mechanic is centered on being creature specific. I don't necessarily believe that's a bad thing, but my understanding is that the strong theme is supposed to be the lost technology of ages past, the artifacts. That in mind, I might suggest that what we do for Bellenar be based on artifacts, or some other mechanic be reworked to focus more on them. Right now the closest we've got is "plunder" which works for any card that's pulled off the top of the deck.

Edit: Also do we know what types of creatures, sentient and otherwise, are involved in this plane? I see mention that dragons aren't a thing here, but I don't see a discussion here or in the Titan pad. I mean, unless that happened in the history of the pad's chat, or Skype.

@ProPro Yeah, I didn't realize how creatures centric everything was. Viragraf and Raldora have artifact token sub-themes, but that's it right now.

I'm on my phone, so I'll try to list what we had in the pad a while ago as well as what Mars and I added:
Dwarf
Elf
Merfolk
Naga
Human
Goblin (more intelligent than other goblins on other planes)
Kami (crocodile-folk)
Centaur
Minotaur
Leonin
Ainok

So, are we still waiting to have Bellenar finished? Do we need to flesh out the enemy or is that going to be a surprise for us?

[ProPro]

Got plenty of ideas, will update you all with them when I can. Still getting settled in from moving to my new house. Internet down too. It won't work so blargh.

[Phoenix]

@ProPro Yay! Boo!
;P

I'm not sure how much more dedication I can cling to for this RP. I may post for the sake of Mars, but we'll see. :/
