I'm working on designing a Tolkien/Middle-Earth themed set. Since this isn't limited to just LOTR, anyone who has cards based on "The Hobbit", "The Silmarillion", etc. should feel free to lend a helping hand. You know I'd do the same for you. There are no new mechanics in this set, but it brings back flanking and banding. Shadowfax 3WWW Creature -- Horse Legend (3/3) Banding, trample, haste 1WW: Target creature banded with Shadowfax gains trample until end of turn. Use this ability only once per turn. Men of the Westfold 2W Creature -- Knight Soldier (2/2) Flanking Loyalty 1WW Enchant Creature Enchanted creature gains banding. Enchanted creature is now permanently banded to any one other target creature. "I'm going to Mordor alone, Sam." "Of course you are, and I'm coming with you!"Eomer, Marshal of the Mark 3WW Creature -- Knight Soldier Legend (3/3) Banding, first strike If banded with a horse, Eomer gains flanking until end of turn.

Here's the blue cards (well, the blue card for now -- I could really use some help with this color ). Cirdan's Blessing 2U Enchantment All ships gain islandwalk and +1/+1.

Here's the black cards... I could use some help with this too, but remember orcs and trolls are red...
Favoritism 1B As an additional cost to play Favoritism, sacrifice a creature. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to another target creature this turn. "You would wish that I had died instead of my brother." "Yes, I would wish that."

And now, for the red:
Warg Riders 2R Creature -- Orc (3/3) Flanking Warg Riders can't block.
Cave Troll 2RR Creature -- Troll (3/3) Trample RR: Regenerate Cave Troll. "They have a cave troll." -- Boromir
Smaug the Magnificent 6RRRR Creature -- Dragon Legend (10/10) Flying, trample, haste

Ah, green. My favorite color, but also the one I traditionally have the most trouble designing new cards for. I only have two so far, and one's a reprint. Elvish Archers 1G Creature -- Elf (2/1) First strike "There once was an alliance between Elves and Men. We come today to honor that allegiance." -- HaldirEntmoot 2GG Enchantment All Treefolk gain banding and forestwalk. "We have agreed that you are not orcs." -- Treebeard

Now for the gold cards:
Doom of Mandos 2UB Sorcery Destroy all Elves. They can't be regenerated.
Shelob 4BG Creature -- Spider Horror Legend (6/4) Shelob may block as though she had flying. Whenever Shelob damages a player, that player gets a poison counter. If at any time a player has ten or more poison counters, he or she loses the game.

Okay, I have some more.
Psychological Warfare BR Instant All non-black, non-red creatures get -1/-1 until end of turn. "For the Enemy was flinging into the city all the heads of those who had fallen at Osgiliath, or on the Rammas, or in the fields." -- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
Gwaihir the Windlord 3WW Creature -- Bird Legend (3/3) Flying, banding Attacking doesn't cause Gwaihir the Windlord to tap.
Arod 3W Creature -- Horse Legend (2/3) Banding If an elf is banded with Arod, that elf gains flanking until end of turn.
Elvish Healer 2W Creature -- Elf Cleric (1/2) Tap: Prevent the next 1 damage to target player or target non-green creature. Tap: Prevent the next 2 damage to target green creature. "This is beyond my skill to heal. He needs Elvish medicine." -- Aragorn
Fling 1R Instant As an additional cost to play Fling, sacrifice a creature. Fling deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to target creature or player. "Toss me! But don't tell the elf!" -- Gimli
Cirdan the Shipwright 2UG Creature -- Elf Legend (2/2) Islandwalk, bands with ships

I was... using all kinds of... DOTS and stuff... and then I said "and stuff"... and I thought looked an awful lot like one of your posts, so I made a comment to that effect.
I hope you're no longer confused.

I love how effectively the flavor text fits on some of the older cards. It's beautiful. -=Gets teary-eyed=-

I wanna try;D
Gandalf, The White[/color] Creature - Wizard Lord Legend 4WW All white creatures receive +1/+1 5/5
Palantir Artifact 6 Tap: Look at target players hand and flip a coin. If you lose the coin toss, that player looks at your hand

I like the Palantir, although it's a bit overcosted if you're going to give it a drawback as well. As for Gandalf... well, I still maintain that wizards always have been, and therefore should remain, blue -- but obviously nobody's listened to me yet.

Well it wouldnt make much sense if Gandalf the White was blue now would it

That's why I'm trying to work out something worthwhile for a multicolored (U/W) card. But straight white for a wizard... I don't know, it just seems to go against the principles of Magic.

If I knew why it would've been fixed by now . He11, it probably needs more publicity or something.
