Plains of Aymara

The World of Aymara was a peaceful land, where threats that existed hundreds of years ago are slowly becoming forgotten by the common man, and knowledge of those times exist only in dusty tomes in the back of a scholar’s library. The pagan knights of the Aymarian plains still train and practice their rune-magic though, for love of combat and their homeland.

To the west are the jungle lands inhabited by thousands of saprolings and the shaman men that respect them. Though it has been rumoured that these shamans have the power to summon other beasts of destructive nature, it has been many years since one of these has been seen again.

North of the plains are the volcanic mountains, where a chaotic strain of magic courses through the air, driving men mad. Those who visit never return, and it is not known as to what truly lives there.

And while most Aymarian men love their lush grassy plains, acres of sweeping pearl grain stalks, their sunny beaches, and their clear deep blue ocean, there are a few men who walk astray. One such man is Joku, a once young cocky kid with a head for lore, who set of to the western island with claims of taming the confusing magic that flowed there. While not as chaotic as the mountain magic it was too complicated for anyone in Aymara to control and was simply ignored. Now that once cocky kid has now become an arrogant man, an isolationist on his own declared island, mastering the abilities and magics of his land.

And while arrogance is one reason to leave, to set upon a life of ones own, so too is jealousy. There are some who cannot take their place among the knighthood, and settle with their own inadequacy and whose thoughts only turn to vengeance. Such a man could go to any lengths to see that his homeland would one day recognize his greatness. Perhaps some old dusty tomes would become undusted, and certain sealed and sleeping things would rise..

As I have said in my other posts, I am not an authority on wording cards, but I hope they all get their message across. I am worried about the overpowering of these listed cards:

Sesimic Knight
Seal of Choas
Rune of Angelic Form
Bloodbending
Usurp

However, I'm not gonna change them without a very good reason BEFORE playtesting. If during playtesting they are shown to be too powerful, they will be changed.

Gravity Bomb is NOT overpowered IMO, however much it seems so. It's lack of ability as spot removal counter balances it to be equivelent to such things as Vindicate.

Project Outline

Depending on how things go, and when I get done, I will require some players for certain tasks.

A> 1 or 2 editors, who know the game rules and grammer well who can look through the cards, edit them, and submit me a notepad of what was edited.

B> 1 or 2 Balance Consultants, make sure the costs and rarity are on par with current cards.

C> Around 4-8 Playtesters who will upload this set to thier Apprentice and test constructed/draft and offer feedback on whats over/underpowered.

D> 1 Creative Consultant, who can look at the story, and the card names, and be able to offer re-names to cards and offer additional story.

E> Unknown amount of artists. Basically if the set is doing successful, then I can see who would want to offer any amount they are willing of art to the set. The art should be after creative consulting so that the pictures match the story. For what I can't find, I will look up online for.

Hope I can at least attract some fans as some motivation to keep going. The set is now at 250 cards, more than halfway done, and although I can't seem to come up with 50 a day anymore (1st and seccond day) I am truckin along =)

*Edited for Grammer, and code issues. Apparently MS word isn't as helpful as I had hoped.

If I'm an editor, etc.

Do I get to still submit cards?

EG, you sure are one vivacious troll.

Anyone can submit cards, but understand I still have complete creative control to accept/change or simply reject them. If you were to be an editor, it would have no effect on what other positions you wanted to take.

I always thought Protection from Red was annoying, so i thought up of a card that looks like this:
Warping Ideal 3R
Enchantment
Red spells you play are colorless.
Red permanents you control are colorless.
Most likely to be rare. I don't care if you think this is bad, I'm a red mage and I hate seeing my spells being stopped.

"I don't care if you think this is bad, I'm a red mage and I hate seeing my spells being stopped."

Not the best way to introduce yourself, really. Also, if you were a Red Mage, wouldn't you cast white and black spells? =P

However your card isn't that bad at all. I'll definatly consider it.

Suppose that depends on how you look at your promiscious board activity. If you think well of it, then its a compliment. =)

i'd like to be flavour man, can i get some lycra with a big F on the chest? Very Happy

im writing a fanstasy novel at the moment and have alot of unused ideas, place names, characters, etc

i'd like to playtest and i have a few ideas for cards (also i dont think anything you have suggested is overpowered, but you might want to cut down on lengthy cards)

where is the location for the black mana? is it underlying the civilisation on the plains or in some swamp somewhere. if they are forgetting what once threatened their land, i think an infiltrative menace would be better. but you do need a minor enemy for young knights to cut their teeth on, and to have small wars against (maybe goblins or the equivalent).

i have a zillion questions about what you want, pm me for a list Very Happy

I decided to look up the Warping Ideal concept in current cards.

Found Ghostly Flame, an IA rare.

Then we got Mycosynth Lattice. Although that has some other effects.

I'm gonna use the idea, but cut the cost to 2R to make it more relative to Ghostly Flame.
