This Ritalin stuff sure is a doozy! I just spent all day imagining a Magic the Gathering set that returns to Kamigawa five or so years post-invasion.

Ahem...

KAMIGAWA: PHYREXIA'S WAKE

With the destruction of Boseiju into a lake of glistening oil and Phyrexian wreckage, life in Kamigawa has been hard. The kami once common have largely diminished and retreated to the merge gates. Much of the city of Towashi is still scarred both structurally and spiritually by the invasion. The strength of the Imperial Court is weakened and the more opportunistic factions such as the Futurists have taken power.

Norn is dead. Phyrexia is gone. Its legacy remains.

The oil, still spilling from the husk of the great tree of life, no longer holds that malevolent potency it was feared for. But that does not mean it is worthless. Whether by some quirk of the plane or directly due to its infection of Boseiju, the oil of Kamigawa still has one very active property:

It can meld flesh and machine.

Survivors of the war who were grievously wounded, especially those living amidst the most devastated ruins at the base of Boseiju, found they could mend their wounds with Phyrexian salvage and dose themselves with oil to will the machinery to join with them as if it were there own flesh. it could unite them with native Kamigawan technology as well, but such things were not easily had by the poor and rejected. The dross of invasion, however, was easy to acquire.

Soon others, the ignorant or intrepid, sought out the oil's miraculous properties to mend themselves or even just enact alterations, to become other than what they were and achieve long-impossible desires. An underground culture of mending, alteration and transfiguration sprang up amongst the broken roots of She Who Shelters All.

Even in death, she sheltered them still.

It was not long before the officials of the Imperial Court took action and sealed off access to the site of the tree. Collection and use of the oil was outlawed. Fear of a 'Third Phyrexia' bloomed in the population and the Imperials harnessed that emotion in the formation of a new anti-technology sentiment.

The Futurists did not take that idly. They found an opportunity in the Imperials being stretched thin, offering to use their superior capabilities to locate, secure and quarantine all artifacts and materials of Phyrexia. They promised nobody would be infected under their watch. Such things did still have to be studied and learned from, of course.

Meanwhile, the trickles of oil in the gutters of the undercity carried the glimmers of the great tree's vital essence to the most unlikely recipients.

The Phyrexians awoke from their torpor. Not many at first, and in such mangled and ruined states that it took them some time to regather themselves in the darkness beneath. They were different now, their minds unshackled from the will of the ancient dead god Yawgmoth and the pretender Elesh Norn. Even unbound from evil, this world would surely hate them for what they were. They had to find new ways to survive.

Kamigawa is changing. There wis no going back.

THE MAJOR FACTIONS OF KAMIGAWA: PHYREXIA'S WAKE

THE KAMIGAWA PRESERVATION AUTHORITY

( Primary White, Secondary Blue and Green )

Led by the Imperial Court, the Preservation Authority is a mandate to protect the citizens of Kamigawa from any remaining Phyrexian influence. Their goal is to secure peace in the city and ensure justice is brought against all who dabble in the illegal and corrupt. Fear is a strong component of the Preserver mentality, a fear of the new and the different and the unknown. Amongst their officials, many still wish they could cut down the Futurists and return Kamigawa to the good old days.

This will, of course, mean getting rid of all that have embraced the 'unnatural'.

THE BOSEIJU DISTRICT CONTAINMENT COMMISSION

( Primary Blue, Secondary White and Black )

The Saiba Futurists, in collaboration with other technologists and artificers, gained the right to establish the BDCC and to collect and lock away any trace of Phyrexian presence. After Otawara was crashed into the surface of the planet during the invasion, they have dug a new headquarters with countless layers of laboratories and vaults. Outwardly, the goal of the Commission is to sequester away every scrap of Phyrexia away in those vaults never to be seen again. Covertly, many of them desire the alien technology for study to fuel their own advancement and profits.

They are nominally working for the Preservers, at least until they are powerful enough to shuck off the need for their approval.

THE REMNANT ARMY OF PHYREXIA

( Primary Black, Secondary Blue and Red )

The oil of broken Boseiju found its way through the crevices and cracks in the city, pooling in the lowest places where the trash and refuse gathered. Amongst that detritus, the blasted and ruined husks of the warriors of the invasion. The oil woke them to free will, but for some that ancient loyalty runs deeper than mere phyresis. They are true believers. With otherworldly hatred they plot in the dark, gathering more wrecks and relics to revive and swell their numbers. Their goal is to undermine the city until they can take the site of Boseiju with violent force, and from there forge a Third Phyrexia.

No strangers to subterfuge, some Remnants collude with the Commission, trading artifacts and secret knowledge for the Commission's aid.

THE AUGMENTED

( Primary Red, Secondary Green and Black )

The oil no longer has an intelligence guiding it. It forever awaits a signal, and the great tree gave it that tiniest of sparks: A command of life. Nothing more. With that faint motivation reenabling some of the oil's functions, the Augmented use it to join themselves to whatever technology they can find in the ruins left by the invasion. Many of them are war veterans, missing limbs or wounded in ways that makes life difficult. With oil-based augmentation, they can find dignity again. Joining them is the growing transmog community, those that find expression and freedom in changing their forms, using the miracle of the oil to shape themselves as they desire. Above all, the Augmented wish for respect, to protect each other, and to live free.

Sometimes, even sadly often, that means violence against those that would oppress or exploit them.

THE FREE COMPLEATED

(Primary Green, Secondary White and Red )

Not all of the reawakened Phyrexians kept their loyalty to a failed invasion. Alive again and able to think their own thoughts, the Free Compleated want nothing to do with the loyalists. They are outcasts, hated for what they represent even though they had no choice. They were prisoners in bodies not their own. Now, they carry the last wish of Boseiju and just want to live. The Free Compleated struggle to survive in the same darkness as their cruel kin, competing over Phyrexian wrecks to revive with oil, wishing always to meet with a new friend and not an enemy.

The Free Compleated are veterans of a war they never asked to fight, indelibly marked as monsters and yet they still seek hope.

A note:

This work imagines a post-invasion world where the consequences are not so easily swept under the rug or handwaved with a brief interlude. A few things are core to the understanding of this idea. Here, being 'compleated' is a tragedy (if unwilling), the greatest tragedy being that it overrides a subject's mind with the lingering evil of Yawgmoth. When that override is removed, what remains? This time, there is no easy zappo and you're back to good old flesh and blood.

Furthermore, the oil itself is no longer evil. Nothing of its old malice remains. Indeed, to reinforce this point its directive is replaced by a last sliver of the will the great spirit tree. Boseiju, who shelters all, welcomes even those lost Phyrexians. The Augmented, too, despite the fearmongering, are not 'meddling in dark and forbidden arts'. Through the oil Boseiju's last wish passes to them as well, so they may live.

The oil can no longer cause phyresis. That power was lost with Phyrexia. All that remains is the power to give life to technology, whether it be the cold husks of invaders or new machinery melded to the stumps of amputees.

If I were to write a story based on this, it's pretty obvious at this point that it would be an allegory for the plight of war veterans, the disabled, transgender people and other marginalised groups under a society that either wants to either destroy them or twist them to its own malign purposes.

I wrote all this in something of a buzz. I'm new to these meds. Seems good though! That said, it's likely (perhaps even certain) that I've overlooked things I should really consider when planning this out (if I end up doing more).

BDCC, Vol. 8, Pages 33: #cancer Detection Using a New Hybrid Method Based on Pattern Recognition in Micro#RNAs Combining Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network

Micro#RNAs (#miRNAs) play a crucial role in #cancer development, but not all #miRNAs are equally significant in #cancer detection. Traditional methods face challenges in effectively identifying #cancer-associated #miRNAs due to data complexity and volume. This study introduces a novel, feature-based technique for detecting attributes related to #cancer-affecting micro#RNAs. It aims to enhance #cancer diagnosis accuracy by identifying the most relevant #miRNAs for various #cancer types using a hybrid approach. In particular, we used a combination of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for this purpose. PSO was employed for feature selection, focusing on identifying the most informative #miRNAs, while ANNs were used for recognizing patterns within the #miRNA data. This hybrid method aims to overcome limitations in traditional #miRNA analysis by reducing data redundancy and focusing on key genetic markers. The application of this method showed a significant improvement in the detection accuracy for various #cancers, including breast and lung #cancer and melanoma. Our approach demonstrated a higher precision in identifying relevant #miRNAs compared to existing methods, as evidenced by the analysis of different datasets. The study concludes that the integration of PSO and ANNs provides a more efficient, cost-effective, and accurate method for #cancer detection via #miRNA analysis. This method can serve as a supplementary tool for #cancer diagnosis and potentially aid in developing personalized #cancer treatments. https://www.mdpi.com/2504-2289/8/3/33?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

I really like these factions, but I’m wondering if they would be better served as Wedges rather than Shards. Specifically, I’m thinking the primary color could be the other allied color compared to the Tarkir Clans

The Free Compleated are White-Centered Jeskai

The BDCC are Blue-Centered Sultai

The Remnant Army are Black-Centered Mardu

The Augmented are Red-Centered Temur

The Kamigawa Preservation Authority are Green-Centered Abzan

I’m not entirely sold on them, but they seem to fit the narrative vibe a bit more than the shards. It feels weird if the Augmented don’t have any Blue in their color identity, same goes for White in the Remnant Army.

This Ritalin stuff sure is a doozy! I just spent all day imagining a Magic the Gathering set that returns to Kamigawa five or so years post-invasion.
