The Modern Era of Top-Down Design
Designing Magic: the Gathering sets has always been something that has fascinated me, as there is so many considerations that go into every part of a card and of the set as a whole. But there has been this shift as of late that I have noticed, a difference in design philosophy in recent years. You see there are two core patterns for crafting a set, and those are top-down and bottom-up design. Or flavor first versus mechanics first, and in the last few years Magic has leaned more into top-down then it ever has in its history, but why is that? It's a question I had to get to the bottom of, but I knew that before I could come to conclusion I should first have a better understanding these con...

The Magic Set we Never Got
Просмотров 12 тыс.2 месяца назад
Magic: the Gathering has yet to provide us with any four mtg color pie based set, and that always bugged me as someone who spends so much time talking about the color pie. So I decided I would take it into my own hands, and so inspired by the composition of the Shards of Alaraa I built five Planes each comprised of only four colors of mana, but I wasn't done there. Satisfied with the worlds I h...
The Bizarre Factions of 4 Color Planes
Просмотров 9 тыс.2 месяца назад
Four months ago a little question turned into a big world building project. One where I aimed to create five distinct Magic: the Gathering Planes where only 4 colors of mana exist on each world, think Shards of Alaraa. If you're a curious MTG player, an imaginative DnD connoisseur, or just love worlds and stories then this video is for you. With that stand back as I open a portal into MTG Plane...
What Cycles Teach us About Design
Просмотров 27 тыс.3 месяца назад
Cycles are everywhere in Magic: the Gathering, that is if you know where to look. I have spent the last few weeks digging into countless cycles, poured over mtg articles and interviews with Mafic: the Gathering Developers to bring you a comprehensive look at one of MTG's greatest design tools. What I found was far more than anything I ever expected. You see MTG Cycles aren't merely an arbitrary...
Anti-heroes in other Media

I have been fascinated with anti-heroes from the moment I laid eyes on the silver power ranger as a small kid. Unfortunately Magic: the Gathering is rather light on these kinds of characters, so I thought it would be interesting to analyze those anti-heroes from across media using the mtg color pie, and then use mtg colors to assign them colors and mtg color combinations based on their unique p...

The Names and Origins of EVERY Color Combination in Magic
Просмотров 13 тыс.4 месяца назад
Magic: the Gathering is one of those games that is just littered with terminology for the color pie and all of its mtg color combinations. Whether you are a fresh or seasoned player, I'm sure you've heard things like Esper control, Boros aggro or Abzan mid-range. But with the game being as old as it is there are many players who don't even know where these shorthand names came from. So in this ...

With Universes beyond becoming a staple in Magic the Gathering this act of speculation has more weight behind it. That is why in this video I will analyze then assign mtg colors for ...

    I think one of my factions is Evil Green/Good Red: The wood elven tribes of Farnmont have come under the rule of Corvain, a human kingdom which now exploits the forest that the wood elves depend on. Though many wood elves, especially the elders who still remember the war, want to make a deal with the humans, some want to take matter into their own hands. The Scoia'tael, consisting mostly of the angry youth of the tribes, have begun sabotaging the forestry and disrupting any travelers through the woods. Their strikes are fast and devastating, before they retreat into the safety of the forest. The reasoning for Evil Green is that they are a faction that sees the humans use of the forest as exploiting, and would rather have the humans out. Yet their cause is a valid one, since they depend on the forest to live, making it an act of rebellion against an oppressive force, which make up the Good Red part. What do you think? Am I wrong with the colors or do you have something else to add to this faction?

    I think 4 color cards are best left to Legendary Creatures and spells that you only really need to run one of. 4 color creature work best as Commanders, allowing a deck access to a wider pool of cards.

    I honestly prefer top down design as a fellow lover of the color pie, In new sets I always want to see how colors manifest in different environments and I think mechanics should be fun but reflect the lore. Bottom up feels to to me like how some cartoons get their plot decided by the toy company

    I would actually make Alucard as Mardu because despite it all he does have some alien, if cruel code of ethics. Arya I think is more experience. John Constantine in my opinion is a heroic leaning Grixxis. Lupin as a Izzet type seems all too perfect. Magneto I would actually make a four color, adding white to it. Rorschach is either Orzhov as shown here or a really messed up version of Azorius. Wednesday I think might be Sultai.

    Gardner's theory is heavily criticized and intelligence as a general factor is pretty agreed upon among researches. Source: University seminars on teaching. That said, the general factor of intelligence can help you understand others better and become good at all sorts of skills. But the wholesome idea of "You can be intelligent in other ways" that Gardner propagates does not really fit the concept of intelligence. Intelligence is about your talent/ability to learn things quickly, not about what you are good at.

    I fucking love Urabrask, he’s literally the best boy. He believes in consent, loves his culture but doesn’t push it on others, he loves creating things, and doesn’t fold to Elesh Norn like the other Praetors do. Honestly I wish that Urabrask didn’t “die” (it’s heavily implied) I think he could’ve created a paradise of New Phyrexia, and probably could’ve actually held peace with the other planes.

    Green is no stranger to natural hierarchies. White ultimately believes that the community is more important than the individual. Black is all about competition and self determination. So what would happen if Selesnya was forced into extreme competition with another group? What natural hierarchies would emerge to preserve the community?

    2:02:53 I hate Selesnya [White/Green] with a passion. It's conformity at its finest. No individual, thought, or self-guidance. Everything must have purpose, and that purpose being connected to the betterment of everyone. If you don't like your life, too bad, accept it; and if you don't, you'll be "purified" or banished from the society. Yes, everyone supports everyone, but that means everyone is a chain that limits others too. You can't sneeze without the person next to you wiping your nose. Your society is strong, but the individual is blind and weak. People like that can't think for themselves. Unity can be found in passions, goals, and ideals; but to do it with blind acceptance and forced unitarianism is more than a philosophy, it's a religion. They speak of acceptance but are quick to outcast anyone who dares progress for themselves or think too differently to disrupt the status quo. Green/White makes my skin crawl. It's worldly grandstanding come to reality. It's a forced utopia, where nobody is truly happy, just content. Such a world is a personal hell to me. To never see your potential, never know what it is, and never desire for it is a sad tale. Dystopian ideals that are hardly human. It's like a slowly corruptive hive mind. *I'm Grixis [B/U/R],* and I see the world for what it truly is. I see through the hypocrisy of society and embrace it. Power is what decides this world. It is not given, but only taken. You must do whatever you can to survive, adopt, and overcome. Follow your ambitions and learn better ways to master your mind. I can't see anything in Selesnya than layers of mind slavery. It denies everything of the human experiance. They speak of acceptance, but you lose all individuality. It's like taking a color in a painting and swirling it with the rest until it's nothing but a grey glob. Yes, I'm ignoring law, order, traditions, and worldly balance but that's because those are things that anchor us and restrict our potential. The world exist, so you must carve _your_ piece in it, not conform to it; much less to fit another person's. You're your best master. When you let regulations hold you back from living your life, it no longer is your life.

    At its worst, Abzan is a wedge that exerts its power over many in service of only a few, while forcing what it deems "natural" onto that populace, leading to suffering of the masses, regardless of reason *or* the feelings of others. I find myself at odds with this color combination quite often. Yet finding harmony within oneself is important, as what good are you to everyone around you if you don't take care of yourself?

    Oh. What if the missing color wasn't just missing but had been suppressed to the point it was nearly extinct. This could lead into a block. First set is as you have. Then second set could be the missing trying to revive on the plane and how the rest would fight against it's return since it would threaten the known way of life they have known for so long. Then maybe 3rd set being a unification or eradication of the color. Story wise it could be cool, design wise maybe a bit harder.
