Didnt mean directly use the name, but ok.

You don't have to change it, just saying I would have said stairway to omniscience

Edit: and what's a mama pool :P

Edit: actualy, I think I'll call the white green one temple ruins. Inspired by the western wall

Edit: and considering the kind of entertainment it provided, I think the red black one should be inspired by the coluseum

Strangely, Ancient Rome has a more boros feel to it

Haha. I'm not worried, your been working on this thread for a log time, I just jumped in but I would love to keep helping.  ideas are often made with the help of others, great things are done with many. Think Henery Ford had help when he revolutionized the auto Industry?  Haha.
oddly enough. Henry Ford started out fixing bicycles. Untill one fateful day, someone asked him to repair a car

Anyway. What do you think of these ideas, and do you have any suggestions for the rest?

Birdbrain

The two remaining are white blue, and blue black

Wait. White blue could be inspired by the Parthenon

I haven't had any time to Make cards and playset them, so I do t have any opinion of the cards we've "printed" other then reading and thinking of course. Maybe for the BW one we could do something about the moon and constellations. We haven't made many black cards and it might just fit into the land theme.

Something like.

NAME
Ruin - plains swamp
{T} to add {B} or {W}

{T} look at the top card of an opponents library add {1}

This makes it a little more of a late game card, something like looking into the starts to predict the future.

breaking the theme of an extra cost for both eh? +1 for out of the box thinking

Almosteric

Speaking of which......

Predication scholar  {3}{U}
Merfolk wizard.

Every third turn predication scholar is unblockable.

The moon controls the tides, and the tides control my rage....

3/4


Birdbrain

Although when a theme is started with a cycle, then people think it weird to stop it, and making it so you look at the top card of your deck as payment would make it broken compared to the others because they pay, and there is no payment with this one

Oh. Your breaking the theme all together. Everyone. Which version would you prefer to play with...

Almosteric

It actually works with the land theme!  If its about ancient civilization.

Almosteric

Oh, and as far as it being broken. There is a downside that it won't add W and B but colorless. Less broken would be 1. Haha

true, it does

Blue might be about astronomy as well. It's seems blue to look for knowlage about our universe in the heavens

I admit though, I like my idea too, so ill let everyone else decide which version they like better. And if mine is out voted, well, though sh** for me

true

Almosteric

We can make the UW one that and need it enough so, it's not an advantage. I just type these ideas as they come to me. Haha.

Maybe more like. "Tap look at the top card of an opp lib. If its an instant card add 1 to your mana pool.

I dig the ideas of making the lands more Utilitarian then the bacics. They are mystical ruins.

Birdbrain

I like the idea of the {W}{B} one being a pyramid though because it just seems right for those colors

Again, lets let everyone else decide

I'm sure we might be able to find a way to fit your astronomy thing in. Like maybe...observatory field, or something like that

Though considering how much knowlage was gained from staring at the heavens...

Birdbrain

Yes. Astronomy definitely fits into this set

Almosteric

Very cool, we're still working on ramp as well.

Whenever you copy an exiled card, draw a card"

"Ancient cultures made great advances in knowledge and physics by observing the stars."

Ecobound- during your upkeep, look at the top card of your libary. If its a land card reveal it and put it into your hand.

"Progress smogress, cultivation grows."
this seems more fitting on the progress side. (In my opinion)

Ancient cultures made great advances in knowlage and physics by observing the stars. The Greeks even made a device which accurately predicts when te next eclipse would be based on there observations of the heavens

They even took knowlage from ancient Babylon to help create thi device

Think of all the advances people have made: proving that the world was round, not flat; calculus; gravity; light; ect, ect. I could go on an on. This device just doesn't seem to fit on the nature side

The theme is nature versus progress

Almosteric

thinking compass, Immediately goes to nature. This is why it's good to talk things out.  We can change it so it reads. Whenever you cast an exiled scroll card, draw a card. 

Edited.
