Hello everyone and welcome to my Mythic Fiction custom Magic Set: Age of Sencora! As a long term project I have not yet buckled down on art, but I would like to have this be a draftable cube some time in 2019.
Commons would show up 3 or 4 times (depending on set size), uncommons a copy or two less than that, and rares/mythics once in the cube.
Change log: Minor additions and card fixing that I overlooked before the last update.
Change log:
Testing out some of the artifact scarecrows being two-brid mana to help them have a place in a draft while also contributing to Conform. Spread Conform out a little and created off-color interactions on some new cards to help support draft archetypes. Haven't really touched the set since War of the Spark came out, but with the announcement of Throne of Eldraine yesterday, I wanted some continuity of how my set developed before that set starts influencing me.
Since that time, Mark Rosewater has come forward and said that colored artifacts will be a normal thing for the foreseeable future, something I don't know will effect me a whole bunch - I honestly think it is a good choice, but two-brid might be my fix for Age of Sencora - but I do think the changes to Planeswalkers with War of the Spark might effect the designs I had in this set. We will see.
Change log: Spreading Conform out just a little bit, where it seems thematic. Working to find just the right version of Expanses and Expanse related interactions.
Change log: In my analysis of Version 7, I noticed I have overlooked a few cards needing to be updated to remove the Fracture mechanic. Additionally, there was some color inbalance that was just hard to track on MTG.Design and I felt needed to be done to keep the set draftable without a skew. This included shifting Priestess of Unknown into green, as I liked how the card played in a vacuum and green needed a rare creature. Having Expanses has been interesting, it makes valuing them through cards looking for you to control them fun and I think it has lowered the complexity of the gameplay. I believe I have reached the game play I was always looking for, testing more hardcore will prove or disprove that.
Change log: Added in Expanses as a land subtype and removed fracture as a mechanic, it was not playing how I wanted it to and it felt like I was over stuffing the set. While a new land type might be a change, my hope is that in testing it will wield positive results. Still tinkering with what they do as lands to make them special, but I want them to help convey the sense of the wide open world.
Change log:
Rounded out the set with 7 more cards, finalizing numbering. Everything after this would be hole filling. Change log:
Very minor changes, mostly numbering all the cards.
Change log:
Change log: Took out Retelling, added Fracture
After some drafts, I was unhappy with some of the feel of the draft and issues with some common cards. Revised several cards and removed an allied color cycle from rare to make room for an enemy dual land cycle.
Revised all my planeswalkers, as I didn't feel I had them right. More changes to come on them either way.
Change log:
This is the first version of Age of Sencora published on PlaneSculptors.net. The set at a place where I am looking to draft it and find all the good, bad, and meh before chopping stuff out and adding more in. As a long term project I have not yet buckled down on art, but I would like to have this be a draftable cube some time in 2019.
