Im thinking of doing a steam punk temed set when I get the mtg editor. (I can't decide between this and the sci-fi one). Anyone have any suggestions for cards/creature types?

Birdbrain

I'm thinking it will have a mechanic that let's you exile artifacts from your graveyard that makes artifact spells cheaper. I think the hardest color to do for this set would be green, but I'll think of something

I feel like izzet is already steampunk themed, it would have to be pretty unique, or just glue some gears on it :)

Rob

Where can you get a MtG Editor?

Maybe I could combine my steam punk idea with my sci-fi idea. Have like steam punk spaceships and stuff

That would be sweet, a set based around him

I might find a way to put him/her in. Just one question...what would contraptions do?

Kerebrus

Would they be like traps?

Birdbrain

Not sure on it bein like traps. But I think I decided what to do for green...oozes. Here's the logic, steam punks salvage materials to build there gadgets and gizmos. And I had already come up with a giant scrap heap for that. What of from that scrap heap, enough goop leaked to created a bunch of oozes? I think the infininte mana machine that is among the scrap heap could even have played a part in there creation.

You could have contraptions be like.

Darksteel Scrap Heap {0}
Artifact - Contraption
Equip {1} : Equipped creature gets +0/+2
Assemble {4} : Attach Darksteel Scrap Heap to another contraption. Darksteel Scrap gains +0/+2 and has indestructibility for each contraption attached to it.

It is kinda like a way to make custom equipment. And cards can have bonuses for having contraptions anyway.

Goblin Junkdealer {2}{R}
Creature - Goblin Engineer
When Goblin Junkdealer enters the battlefield, search your library a contraption.

Contraptions cost {1} less to attach.

Soaring Hopeful {1}{G}
Creature - Bear
When Soaring Hopeful is equipped with an Contraption, it gains Flying until the end of turn.
2/2

(Bit of flavor, green creatures rarely ever fly, especially not a bear. So I like the idea of him throwing on a contraption and attempting to fly with it, and it's until the end of turn showing that it didn't really work.)

Birdbrain

I like those ideas. Although I would probably try to figure out a way that {steam flogger boss} could be worked into the set. Which would probably mean red/black would be riggers

Dudecore

Well I know {Steamfogger Boss} is red, and red is a creative color, but I don't know if assembling contraptions seems like a red thing. Black and Red also have a lot of overlap, I'd like to see enemy colors share a passion for contraptions.

Birdbrain

Blue...but I wanted the red/blue mix to be steam punk humans...think white would care about contraptions?
