You're more amazing than tortles (the D&D species)

I have some very tragic news about tortles

Oh also here's the draft archetypes I sketched out for Modified Set 2.0

WU auras WB heroic UB modified control UR artifacts BR equipment BG keyword counters RG modified aggro RW elementals (artifact/enchantment creatures) GW enchantments GU +1/+1 counters

WHITE - Tools: Enchantment creatures, auras, buff spells. Payoffs: Enchantments, heroic, elemental typal. BLUE - Tools: Artifacts, auras, +1/+1 counters. Payoffs: Artifacts, auras, modified. BLACK - Tools: Equipment, AC spells. Payoffs: Equipment, modified, heroic. RED - Tools: Artifact creatures, equipment. Payoffs: Artifacts, modified, elemental typal. GREEN - Tools: +1/+1 counters, keyword counters, enchantments. Payoffs: Counters, modified, enchantments.

#i was kinda struggling to get a 10th archetype after adding artifact and enchantment themes and heroic #then i realized that artifact and enchantment creatures would probably be A Thing #so why not make them a unified creature type?#i was calling them “craftfolk” for a bit before digging through the creature types and settling on elementals #which still isn't final because i'm not sure what the flavor of the set is going to be now #i was already using modified twice AND i was using “enchantments” and “auras” and “artifacts” and “equipment” as separate themes #so i really didn't have room for more redundancy #so throwing in a nice creature type typal theme worked #and most the elemental support will also work with enchantments or artifacts depending on if the card is white or red #like “if you control an enchantment or an elemental this spell costs 1 less to cast” on a white card #so that way the elemental typal support cards also work as enchantment/artifact support cards!#it is still kinda redundant but it's unique enough for me #originally i was thinking of doing a “balance” theme of artifacts+enchantments like Kamigawa Neon Dynasty did #but white ONLY had enchantments and red ONLY had artifacts #originally i was looking to fill the WB archetype but since targeting spells are a great way to do keyword counters i moved heroic to WB #so that way black has keyword counters to work with the BG archetype #WB still had the same problem anyway of black not having enchantments #ANYWAY i figured it all out so everything is cool now #kinda funny to have black be “heroic” though #working out the flavor on that is gonna be weird #ka asks
