Something we haven't done yet...

[Zman47]

I really like that idea. It is great

[Birdbrain]

I say the story is... On the brink of destruction, Humans are fighting for their lives. Before the planar war, this plane was beautiful. But after, there is barely any water to sustain humans. There are monsters lurking at every corner, waiting to take over the humans. Can the humans survive these catostrophese? or will they be destroyed with the rest of the plane.

doesnt sound like nature vs intelegence. Where is the nature? You've only included humans.

You could do something like...a planar accident caused the nature to run rampant, and trying to wipe out anything that isn't natural, while trying to balance the plane. While the beings with intelegent thought, are fighting back, and trying to control the nature, while making advances to try and balance the plane

It can even be a apocalyptic event. It doesn't even have to be my idea

We just need to stick with the theme, and that is straying from it

Edit: you can even come up with the story all mana, it just needs to stick with the theme. I'm putting my foot down and am going to make sure we stick with the theme

The dark, evil creatures lurking is nature. As i said the nature part of it is decayed by the war, they have lived peacefully until the war and then after that they can never trust the humans and progress they do. That is why they try to overrule them.

ok. Though does the nature part have to be dark? Maybe dark evil creatures occurred because of whatever caused this world to go this way, and nature is running rampant.

Not all stories have to be good vs evil. In fact, that is so over-used. I think it would be more compelling if both sides are struggling for survival. And one side threatens to wipe away the other.

That is almost exactly what im saying. It is not good vs evil. It is nature vs progress vs nicol bolas

[Birdbrain]

Ok. So how about your story, only there not dark evil creatures. Just scared angry creatures that are fighting for there own survival and coming together against the intelegence/progress that threatens to tame them, and wipe them away

And eventually nicol bolas

Ok how about,
The plane is heavily wooded, with many lakes, and skies filled with birds, and Pegasus.  Umong the setting is filled with not only large wildlife, but dryads, and elves who keep to their nature roots.  The elves and dryads keep an unspoken order over the wildlife, but it is very loose.   
There is however, a small building which inhabits human safely, which was appointed by the dryads and elves for the human's safety.  Although that small building only hints at the underground caverns full of extensive technology, unknown to the elves and dryads don't know about.  Which they would highly disaprove, not only that but they would raid the underground caverns, and destroy every mechanical thing, and they would further punish the humans for building it. 

In set one, the elves and dryads find out about the underground caverns.  They begin to raid the caverns with extreme prejudice.  These raid parties are led by none other than [insert planeswalkers name here], who hates the technology the humans possess.  He plans on destroying everything and then bring death to initial creator of it all.  Who's name is [insert progress planeswalker here].  This planeswalker has set traps for the nature lovers to find along their raid, all while preparing for all out war.  He is cunning and will have to use all his wits too win this battle.

That's my set 1 idea, I have set 2 storyline also, but I have to go soon so im just posting set 1 story.  What do you guys think?

[Birdbrain]

It's interesting. I think more people should chip in there ideas and we should vote on them.

Also, that sounds vaguely like "the time machine"

With major changes of course

its very different than our idea, although the living underground with technology, and a group of humans that are close to nature are similar elements. By the way...it's set around 80,000 years in our future

Sorry, that's 800,000 years in our future

I hope I didn't pop this thread. Promise I won't be this way further into this project. It's just moving away from the theme is a gradual and slippery slope.

For obvious reasons. I shouldn't judge whether a card is balanced or not. We'll leave that up to other people
