Blue needs something like cards drawn/milled/cards in hand matter. Mill they can share with black and somewhat (to a lesser extent) with red.

Like spell does _____ for each card put into the graveyard this turn. Red can do it by looting, black can do it with discard and blue with milling. Then the nature mechanic can, whatever it may be green, overlapping white and 3rd best is red somehow...

The thing about making an interesting set isn't throwing a bunch of keywords together - rather making all the colors interesting and compelling to play.

Doing something like "red gets this keyword" ends up being bad for the set - because you're saying "if you like this new mechanic, then you MUST play this color", same goes if you don't like it as well.

Can someone explain what we are doing

We might want to come up with a story line than. We'd of course have to come up with a theme first... On second thought. Homelands had an compelling story. So that shouldn't be the main focus.

I think dudecore should be in charge of making sure the colors are compelling, an giving the designers assignments, and pointing out holes that need to be filled. He seems to know what he is talking about and knows the color wheel well

All in favor of dudecore as head designer?

I want to be a designer too. It seems like it would be fun

And I was thinking if its nature vs progress. The nature colors would get one mechanic. And the progress colors would get another

we could test out suggested mechanics on cards, and give our opinions on which ones preformed the best. After deciding a theme first that is

Also which ones we think are broken

How many more people should we need
