[Duster]

In the beginning of this set, we made a decision to not create any named mechanics or use any cycles of cards. I've been thinking about this a lot and I think if we did use these things, it would make this set much more realistic.

A new named mechanic adds depth to a set and lends something to build on in the expansions.
Cycles promote very strong color balance.

We've had many very interesting ideas used in the submitted cards, and all that really needs to be done is attatch a name to them and make them a mechanic.
For example, DUke's multicolor upkeeps in the original thread could be easily shortnened and made into a mechanic.
The reduced casting cost cards I submitted during the last thread could also be easily converted into a mechanic.

In my opinion, mechanics add personality to a standalone.

While I'm not quite so partial to Cycles, I think that they definately are a help to balance the colors.

I was thinking about starting a new thread with these ideas, but all we need is to hog another thread with this stuff
Please discuss this!

That's all for now,
Dustin

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Im all for cycles and mechanics.

But for a new named mechanic.

And for little explored cycles (Cycling, Opal...etc...)
And even then, very little of that.

1/1

 

[Landkiller]

I support use of color cycles, but I don't like the idea of a new ability.

An unnamed mechanic, like Rebels/Mercenaries, sure, but not a new ability. Like Fading or Horsemanship.

 

[Duster]

The only thing a named mechanic does is save a lot of text for a regular mechanic
Like I said, look at some of the mechanics that have been considered, and all we would have to do is name them and we have ourselves a good named mechanic!
Every standalone has one, it's my opinion that this should as well ;-)

Thanks guys,
Dustin
