Anyone want to help make a set?

I had this Idea for a set, actually more or less a card game on its own but using Magic's foundation(tap'ing, lands, creatures etc.)
This would be more of a military style game. Like,
Bomber
2R
Unit - Jet Bomber
Flying
4/1
Cannot block "units" with flying.
When Bomber attacks, it doesnt untap during your next untap step.

Nuclear Fallout
2WR
"Ability?"
Destroy all units without flying. Nuclear fallout deals 3 damage to all creatures with flying.

I didnt know what to call sorceries and instants yet but i've got a few(maybe a lil lame) ideas.

The lands would still be the same but accompany a playstyle rather than an element, like so:
White = Peace, Black = Despair, Red = Destruction, Blue = Greed, green = Power/Strength

Anyone up for it(obviously the examples were very basic but this is just to get the idea).

Sounds cool and I love custom sets.

Sniper
1BU
Unit - Human Assassin
1/1

Sniper comes into play with 3 bullet counters on it.
T: Put a bullet counter on target non-flying unit.
T: Destory target unit with a bullet counter on it.

Nice i like that card. Maybe we can just make a community set centered around that idea. Have everyone pitch in. Ill add more cards meanwhile,

Armored Personell Carrier(APC) 1UG
Unit - Armored Car
APC comes into play tapped. When APC becomes untapped put 3 1/1 soldiers into play.

0/4

Cargo Plane 3U
Unit - Plane
Flying
Cargo Plane comes into play with 3 +1/+1 counters.
Remove a +1/+1 counter from cargo plane, draw a card.
0/0

Destructive Rockets XR
"Armament"(enchantment)
Target Unit gets +X/+O.

I just found out the names for sorcery and instant. Sorcery =condition

All spells are instants unless labeled(with anything). Like,

Covert Ops 2UB
Condition
You control target creature until end of turn. If that creature is put into a graveyard from play this turn you lose life equal to its power.

Steroids 1G
Target Soldier gets +4/+4 until end of turn.

Steroids is an instant. All creatures/units have summoning sickness as well.

I think an equipment variant would be well suited, like:

(insert gun type here) Rifle
3 - Firearm

Equipped unit has: "T: Deal 1 damage to target unit without flying".

Arm - 1

Surface to Air Missiles 2GGG
Armament
When Surface to Air Missiles comes into play destroy target unit with flying.
Sacrifice Surface to Air Missiles: Destory target unit with flying.

Taps BB
Event (sorcery?)
If three units or more have been destroyed this turn, draw 2 cards.

Well I don't know what name you want to use for enchantments but here's an idea for 1.

Time Bomb - RR
Enchantment
At the Begining of your upkeep put a Second counter on Time Bomb. When Time Bomb gets 3 second counters sacrifice it and it deals 5 damage to all units and players.

Manifest Destiny
2wwww
Sorcery

Discard your hand
Your life is reduced to 1
Your opponents gain life equal your life lost.
Your opponent draws 10 cards.
Gain control of all lands
Destroy all Red Creatures

Flavor: “Hears your jewels, thanks for the land. Hey, how about I throw in some blankets too.”

cool! I'm not that good at creating cards, but I have a comment to make.

Manifest Destiny is nice. But it's the most horrible card ever if it was ever printed. Why? Because it doesn't destroy ALL creatures. If they have too many creatures or a creature you can't block, you're screwed. This is neat tech against that card: In response, tap 1 land for red mana. Effect resolves. Shock you, gg.

I think a way to fix that card could be

Instead of destroy all red creatures,

"Destroy all creatures you don't control."

This would fit the theme of white, IMO. Also, it's cool that you want to be at as low as life as possible before using this to make sure that your opponent doesn't gain much life.

Just my opinions on the card. Keep those ideas coming!

Don’t read into it too much, it’s a just a joke card me and some buddies came up with back in the day. Slightly applicable to this set, thought someone might get a kick out of it, guess not.

Just an idea.

Unstable Alpha Cyborg
WUBRG
Unit - Cyborg Soldier
5/5
At the begining of your upkeep, roll a 6-sided dice. If the dice shows 1 or 6, sacrifice Alpha Battle Tank and it deals 5 damage to it's controller.

2W: Unstable Alpha Cyborg gains vigilance until end of turn.
2U: Unstable Alpha Cyborg gains flying until end of turn.
2B: Unstable Alpha Cyborg becomes indestructible until end of turn.
2R: Unstable Alpha Cyborg gains trample until end of turn.
2G: Unstable Alpha Cyborg get +1/+1 until end of turn.

---
Training Camp
Land
(T): add 1 to your mana pool.
3, (T): put a colorless 1/1 solder into play.

---
Jet Pack
(4)
Artifact - Equipment

Equip: 3

Equiped creature gains flying and haste.

Oh, I guess my ideas is more future-minded.
