I Propose A Challenge

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

I'm back....
We must make a new set once again!  Because the old set idea crashed and burned.

GUIDELINE TIME!!!!

1. This is a COMMUNITY, so let us be social, and work together, and not rage on each other.

2. This set, will not be like the last one, so push those ideas out of your mind.  If fact, we are going back to ice age once more.  BUT IT WILL BE GOOD THIS TIME!!!

3. The fact we are doing an ice age block is the challenge, BUT another challenge is to do it without snow covered lands.

4. HAVE FUN!!! If you can't have it, get out.


NOW!!!

Step one: Theme
Step two: Story

You can do both of these at the same time.  So we can have a good flow of ideas.  We vote on these in a quick, painless process on a one day period.  Because last time it took to long, and people lost intrest.

Ok, have fun as we ponder what to do with ICE AGE!!!

Planebound suddenly being able to planeswalk, and a fed real walkers are trying to figure it out snd find some demons that try to destroy the multiverse through that. Or something related. Just sounds cool, yet broad.

By the way, I shall loosely follow this, I'll post some ideas on the way, but I'll try to let creative jucies flow freely.

Also we kinda half to stay on the ice age concept.  Ergo the challenge part.

[Destore117]

I suggest we work on planeswalkers first and big cards that will be iconic for ice age first. Then we build off of it. Plus picking what is the big focus will help us develop a story.

How about the plane was once a lush overgrown paradise. All colors of mana flowed in abundance and balance. Nature was in balance with progress. Life in balance with death. Thought in balance with emotion. And order in balance with chaos. Amorality was kept in check by morality

Then, one day, a cataclysmic event happened that upset everything. Life was almost wiped out on the plane, but at the last minute, five planeswalkers from this plane sacrificed themselves for the good of the plane. One from each color. Now life barley hangs on. The mana still flows, but is often times sacrce and irratic. Strange creatures run amok on the plane.

And though the planeswalker's did stop life from being wiped out, its only temporary, because life is slowly seeping out of the plane

You know, I keep thinking.  Birdbrain, we did something somewhere.  It might have been in pm's, but I just remembered we did a little mini ice age thing.  Or am I delusional?

i remember an ice age plane. I think you posted it in create a card

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

OH!  We did do this already...
Who wants to switch planes now?

[Birdbrain]

I want to design on this plane...

[Destore117]

Possible idea. A new planeswalker awakens his or her ability to planeswalk. And accidentally travels to this near utopian plane (where as birdbrain said everything is in perfect harmony) this massive release of energy (that i am assuming is released from planewalking) disturbs a long locked away being that ancient masters of mana locked in this desolate forgotten plane to remain for all time.This monster's awakening causes the climate to massively change freezing this plane and destroying nearly everything. Letting loose untold frozen horrors that this new champion must battle to survive and they must find the power to destroy or prevent this being from escaping this plane. Yay or nay I like this story

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Ok, we shall stay then.

Now excuse me as I dig up an old bone...

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

For nostalgia, I'll post this for fun

Ok I made up a little story.  It is the beginning of the great freeze, an event that only happens every billion years.  Everybody is looking for ways to survive, and they manage, but their creatures take a change due to the harsh conditions.  Some for better, some for worse.  But each color is simulated into a faction.

Blue:  embraces the great freeze as an opportunity to use their true power, and to rule the plane.  Goal:  Extend life of their rule by expanding the lifespan of the great freeze.

Red:  fire mages.  They wander this frozen plane looking for their own kind, if enough are gathered, they can dmset this plane in a flame that will end the great freeze.  Goal:  End the Great Freeze.

Black:  They love the freeze as they slyly take over other stuggling clans with the power of manipulation, and sheer power.  They wish to live off the freeze and its power like leeches.   Goal:  take over others and leech off the great freeze.

White:   The poor angels have a hard time flying around, and keeping peace during the great freeze.  Without them havok will take over all of the plane.  But they can't thaw anything out by themselves.  So they must aid those in need so they can continue their reign of justice and peace over the plane.   Goal:   Aid those in need so they can continue justice system.

Green:  Although it was set back by the massive ice gathering, the mana lovers have adapted accordingly so they can survive.  In fact they have made improvements upon the original designs.  Although they have been cut off from their mana supply, only their leader was able to grow long enough roots to reach past the ice and gather mana.  The green society needs their mana, but they have made amazing creature improvements.  What will they do?    Goal:   Choose a side, and fight for it.

Thoughts, it's a rough idea, but still.

[Birdbrain]

@Destor that sounds like Zenkidar. Plus, if planes walking releases a massive burst of energy, why was it not mentioned before?

[Destore117]

Green would need edited to have their own side I think. With their great tree being able to reach beneath the ice maybe it can create enough mana for a desperate attempt to break the ice so they can attempt to rebuild the forests? Basically they are a sort of "lost cause" story wise in the ice age. But the Angels pairing with them (as white often does with green) would be a fun story I think

[Birdbrain]

Green is not a lost cause. They are highly adaptable and would adapt to the changing climate. After all, the earth went through an ice age, did the animals die out?
