Did you know you're aaaaaawwweeeessome?
Started making like. An Actual Set. With structure and rarities and stuff. Themed around the modified keyword, with different modifications. Here's the white commons

#asks#custom cards#names are temporary#the flavor is a work in progress#each of the 3 modifications is associated with a different group/ideology#(not sure if ideology is the right word)#but like +1/+1 counters are all about teamwork and collective strength and creatures#auras have a “serving a higher power” idea that could be government or religion#equipment are about individual strength. no kings or allies just you and your sword#i've assigned the modifications to colors but i'm not sure about the actual worldbuilding yet so there's no real names or flavor text#equipment is grixis (blue-black-red) because they're the most individualistic colors#auras are bant (green-white-blue) because they're the most fitting for working for a higher power/greater good#and +1/+1 counters ended up being aggression (black-red-green-white) to balance everything out#i wanted each color to have 2 factions so even though black is a bad fit for teamwork it's even WORSE for “greater good”#who are these factions? what do they do?#idk#the equipment faction probably isn't an actual group#their whole thing is that they're individuals#maybe the plot is that everyone is getting aggressive#aura-church is getting more oppressive equipment-randos are bandits or something counter-peeps are starting a communist revolution#and none of them can ignore the others anymore so war happens#also i've made the blue commons already#i found some nice articles by mark rosewater about set design called nuts & bolts#especially the ones on design skeletons#the old one is outdated and the new one is about large sets so i had to improvise#but it works#i'll finish the commons then make uncommons#figure out the flavor somewhere along the way#and i GUESS i'll do rares too. if i have to#maybe i won't
