Dreamscape

A custom MTG set by Reuben Covington

Dreamscape is a custom magic set about making the game feel alien and unknown again, playing against your expectations and showing new areas magic could explore.

The set is being developed primarily for limited, though it follows the guidelines and conventions of modern official sets. Dreamscape is a standalone large set with 255 cards total 101 commons, 80 uncommons, 54 rares, 15 mythics and 5 basic lands.

Storyline

Frustrated with Ravnica. Ral Zarek has left, searching for something greater to allow him to express his genius freely and without limits. On his planar travels he finds himself on Noctus, a remote seemingly peaceful plane with a tang of strange magic in the air. After meeting a small child named Aisha in his dreams he discovers a secret worthy of his study. The hidden realm of the Dreamscape. A powerful space sealed beneath the passive dreaming of the plane's inhabitants. In his recklessness Ral Zarek unseals the Dreamscape, turning the dreaming potentially fatal and your nightmares far too real. Heedless of the chaos he is unleashing Ral Zarek only wishes to master this realm of pure dreaming. Becoming a Dream Artist able to express him creativity unbound by reality and its limitations.

Meanwhile Evis, former leader of the Daumas Order and recently ignited planeswalker has returned from her travels only to find Noctus roiling with chaos as soulless dreamers roam and some Mori play mischief with reality. Now she has taken back control of the Daumas Order and is desperately trying to understand and contain the dreamscape and its influence. However increasingly her once peaceful way is becoming increasingly rigid and authoritarian as the Daumas ready for war.

Yemma, the greatest huntress in the multiverse was on Noctus hunting near the Sunbloom Haven when the Dreamscape erupted. Releasing huge Mori, creatures made of dreamstuff that represented the ideas or emotions. Striding through the forest she saw beasts and predators she had only ever dreamed of. A challenge that would test Yemma and her wolf companion Zola to their limits.

And as the world of Noctus is changed forever a cult that worships the King of Nightmares, Ikelious grows ever more powerful. Hinting that releasing our greatest dreams unfortunately comes at the cost of our greatest nightmares.

Mechanics

Dreamwalk (This creature can't be blocked by untapped creatures. Tapped creatures can block it.)

Flashback (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

Premonition N— (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay and put this card into your library face up just beneath the top N cards. As it reaches the top, cast it without paying its mana cost.)

Trance — [EFFECT] for each tapped creature you control.

Limited Archetypes

	Archetype Name	Description
