MtG: 4chan Plane Creation Thread 3 Anonymous 2017-08-06 05:55:58 Post No. [Report]

Thread 1: https://boards.fireden.net/tg/thread/53006755/
Thread 2: https://boards.fireden.net/tg/thread/53887427/

We'll create a 3 set block based around the idea of 4chan becoming a plane in Magic the Gathering. The blocks are seperated as a timeline based off of early 4chan to present, and famous 4chan users as legendary creatures and planeswalkers.

Here are the base mechanics we decided to keep:

>Bait
>You may pay this creature's bait cost to change the target of a spell or ability that targets a creature to this creature.

>Meme
>Target ___ or a spell on the stack. That card and copies of it become Y.

>Spoiler
>You may play this card face down for (2), as a 2/2 vanilla creature. When it blocks or becomes blocked, or becomes the target of a spell or ability your opponents control, turn it

>Implying X
>You may cast this card for its Implying cost if your opponent has played a card this turn with the same CMC

>Digits
>You get Digit counters depending on specific conditions on each card, for example:
>This card gets Digits if you use mana of three different colors to cast it
>This card gets Digits if your opponent controls at least two other creatures

>Shitpost
>at X point, shitpost N (create N 1/1 colourless shitpost creature tokens)

Gonna post the to-do list soon.

>For accurate links go to Thread 2 in the OP.

We have a WIP Structure/Skeleton we're supposed to create. We need to see what kind of block we want to accomplish with the guidelines posted above.

These are all pending ideas.

>Structure/Skeleton

Now we're ready to build the archetypes of ancient 4chan, when pepe and wojak still weren't around. For example

WU: Classic Control
UB: Implying/Bait and other shenanigans
BR: Classic Rakdos-Like stuff
RG: Shitposting Trolls
GW: Token Swarm
WR: Boros-Like Stuff
UG: Tempo
BW: Stealing stuff
UR: Changing the gameplay itself
GB: Usual graveyard business

>List of Standard Mechanics
~~Should've put this up top.~~

OFFICIAL SYNTAX:
Bait <cost>
If target spell or ability your opponents control targets another creature you control, change its target to this creature.

Meme
Starting with your next opponent, that player may pay mana equal this card’s converted mana cost. If they do, they copy this spell, and they repeat this process. They may choose new targets for the copy.

Spoiler
You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for {2}. When it blocks or becomes blocked, or when it is targeted by a spell or ability that your opponents control, turn it face up.

Implying <cost>
Whenever an opponent casts a spell with a converted mana cost equal to this card, you may cast this card by paying its implying cost.

Digits
They are supported as player-based counters like experience! Build cards around increasing, manipulating and using these if you'd like!

Shitpost
shitpost <number> — Create
<number> 1/1 colorless Shitpost
creature tokens.
Use as an action inside rules text, ie "When you draw a card, shitpost 1."

>Block Set Ideas
>"OP said that every set encapsulates a part of the story of 4chan. So the first one could either be the past or the present(so we can return to the past a la tarkir)"

>"So let's try with chronological order. That means we begin with the beginning of 4chan and with all the stuff that was hip at the time."

>"Pedobear, desu, trolls, lolcats, rickrolling and all the other ancient memes of past times, along with manifestations of the boards and famous users."

>"Whether or not it's a 2 or 3 set block should hinge upon whether we do some Internet conflict that will feature tumblr and reddit and whatnot. If we intend to do just 4chan, I'd suggest 2 sets as I'm not sure we'd have enough for a solid 3. To keep things simple, perhaps we could have the first set be an inter-board conflict. With the goal for winning to achieve a spark and finally be able to escape 4chan."

>"I personally don't see the need to divide by era, as I'm sure having new and old coexisting would make it easier to fill out a set of over 200 cards without having to start grasping for straws at some point."

>Lore
>"Personally, I thought all beings inside the plane of 4chan, or at least in certain walls, you're anon until your reject it, thus becoming a namefag and revealing your identity. I think there can be all types of anon colors, but they would have to be restricted to a few colors. Throwing out possible examples: W newfags, U lurkers, B trolls, R shitposters, G oldfags"

>"Read through the thread in OP. We've already decided that the plot should take place of Moot creating 4chan as a planswalker in the first block then Hiro entering the 4chan we have now as a planeswalker."

>"Okay, do we have any definitive idea of what the plane's geography is going to be like?
Were it not for the fact that they're connected with blue mana, I'd suggest reusing the old "each board is it's own island" type things but having the islands be wandering, but given a 4chan plane would likely have a heavy red slant for several reasons, maybe giant, floating mountains would be better?"

>"Well we can have boards be any landscape they want to be, but have them keep moving around and changing due to all the red mana everywhere. We can even tie the plane with blue due to it being on the internet and have the art for islands be vsause with a strawberry or something."

>"Perhaps we could combine this whole thing and have the plane be oddly... orderly for something with so much red mana? Stemming from the whole idea that chaos is just an infintely complex order. Though if we DID do floating mountains I can TOTALLY think of an idea of what the landbound people would be."

>"I'd imagine anons living in city complexes where the structures looked like pic related. The larger structures are those piles but massive and with hollow corridors and chambers within."

>"Shifting back to this line of thought, do we have any further thoughts on the style of the plane? Floating mountains? complex geometric cities? a wierdass maze?"
