How would you go about with a custom mechanic that counts the number of things in the command zone? It's the default 'holding zone' for fun effects, like the monarch, conspiracies, emblems, and of course, commanders. What scalable effects would you use for each color?
I didn’t know what to think of this prompt at first, but I thought about it my entire walk home, and the more I think about it, the more I like it.
I came up with a cycle of five monocolored cards designed around the “counting in the command zone” theme. But in order to make it work, it would have to be a “mega-cycle,” spanning across multiplayer products released over several years. (Including new Commander, Conspiracy, Archenemy, and Planechase products.)
I don’t know if black border rules can support these mechanics, but I think they can. (I wasn’t going for anything in “wacky” or silver bordered design space.)
I think I stayed fairly true to the prompt, as well as true to the color pie, and I’m quite pleased with the result. Please let me know what you think!!
