Captain Planet should be the protagonist.

Captain Planet, Planeswalker

Ranger Rick could be his sidekick.

what colors would he be? And what would his abilities be? Maybe cycling the graveyard back into the deck?

ok than, his most defining quality (I think) is caring about the environment. How would that play into his card

At the risk of making the community mad at me again...

I think he leans more toward {G}

He's against pollution. Which color would be least likely to pollute the environment? Which color cares the least about the environment and would be most likely to pollute it?

Going off of Ravnica, Selesnya is kinda all about nature ;). If I had to choose any one color that doesn't care about nature, I'd say {B} or {R}. Kinda split down the middle on that one

i was thinking black, since Mark Rosewater said that green sees black as a selfish color. Thus it would most likely dump its pollution into the environment not caring. Red would do it, but it would do it unaware of the consequences.

Anyway, if he is all colors, he's {G} twice

Birdbrain

As an after thought, does he change the environment? That would be a quality of {U}

I could see him in selesnya, but gruul also cares about the environment. After all, they are disturbed about the world of ravnica being a city

Can we get back to a set design theme?

Nature vs. Progress is strongly supported but before we run with it lets get some discussion on other ideas.

Off the top of my head, Knowledge matters, a more traditional take on card advantage.

Dudecore

If knowledge matters then blue and black would be the colors to play around with that idea. Black and discard - making you forget what you know. Blue and milling - damaging your brain so your memory is lost. Red does things impulsively which is why it has looting effects - draw a card discard a card. Green I don't think cares about drawing cards - but it does tutor a lot of things. White doesn't care about drawing cards, although it can tutor enchantments and equipment.

I feel like the Nature vs Progess could even have deeper roots like Nature vs Nuture. I think that would make for interesting card interaction.

Nature vs. Nurture is the precise reason Blue and Green are enemy colors. Blue believes in tabula rasa - everyone is born as a blank slate. Green believes in nature. I don't think a whole block could be made based on an already established conflict between colors.

I honestly never even realized that. Back to the drawing board for me.

Birdbrain

If knowledge matters is the theme for one, what is the theme for the other? Lets see...the opposite of {B}{U} would be {G}{R} or {G}{W}...those are creature heavy combinations of colors. So maybe a creature matters theme?
