Theme Ideas for MTG Block!
Custom Cards forum
Posted on Jan. 15, 2015, 4:41 p.m. by rorofat
Hi guys! I'm going to invest a lot of time over the next few months creating an entire custom block to play around the house! And I need some suggestions as to what theme I should base it on. Some current ideas are:
- Asian Indian Theme
- Native American Theme
- Ice Planet Theme
- Jungle Theme
Please vote on one that I've already listed, or come up with your own in the comments (or vote for one in the replies) and I'll get around to creating a custom set! Have fun!
Thanks, both of you... I'm thinking jungle for now. If any of you want to help on development, I suggest mtgcardsmith.com to design the cards, and when you're done, just email me any fun cards you want to me include: [email protected]...
Thanks!

Jungle seems good. It implies excessive mana so it would be good to use Zendikar and Tarkir for inspiration. Zendikar made use of high mana spells with a high mana curve and abilities like multikicker. Tarkir has a very savage and primal feel that rewards you for amassing an army by making kill spells more expensive than they used to be.

I'll eventually get around to incorporating a story, but I don't really have anything yet...

Idk if these sets would be too different. I know they already did an block that was an ice planet block (Ice Age) and the Sultai's creatures are so similar to Indian demons in legends it's hard to think they may not be completely influenced by it, as the Temur were influenced by the Inuit somewhat. So in that sense, it's be hard to see an Indian or Native American set coming up outside of Tarkirs influence.
But I'd honestly like to see all 4 being a thing.

Some of these have already been explored to some degree, of these, however, I American Indian would be interesting. Also been thinking that a steampunk would be fun to see at some point, maybe as a continuation of the Innistrad block if you want to build off something already existing.
