Magic sets

Post by JonSetanta »

Magic sets I want to see but probably shouldn't be buying:
1. Pirates. Ships, guns, big hats and poofy shirts. Nothing but open seas.
2. Egyptian/Babylonian/Ancient Hebrew
3. Some kind of wild west high fantasy

That's kind of problematic from the Land perspective. Sure, it can have its own 'wet' lands like other sets have had 'snow' lands. But given that the basics are still going to be reprinted, you might have to have very strange interpretations, where a 'plains' was a broad shallow area with seaweed farms, and a 'mountain' was entirely underwater, because if it broke the surface it would be an island.

Yes you can have "island" versions of wetted lands. It just takes a bit of creative naming and a cool picture.

Although, most art for islands looks like a mountain in the sea anyway...

I thought up some imagery that might work for the basic lands:

Plains: desert island
Island: Island (duh)
Swamp: shipwreck
Mountain: jagged cliffs, or a volcanic island
Forest: coral reefs, or a sargasso

Can't really have a volcanic island since that card was already made and it's a dual land (red and blue).

Just a heads up... Your post is pregnant... When you miss that many periods it's just a given.

Well, they really should release five sets which are dominated by a single color each - not one set where there is only one color, but where it's the dominant color, with lots of two-color cards and cards that play off it and against it. So like a Green-dominated set would be something like "The Word for World is Forest."

While it might be tricky to do lands for Water World, they managed just fine for "City Plane the Industrialization," so I rhink they could work something out.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
