I was just reminded it’s been a month since M20 came out, but there’s been no communication whatsoever from the devs about when we may see it or how it’ll look.
So, like we always do when a set is late, lets all chip in and design some stuff for the team!
Show me your best Card, Planeswalker, and (new!) Vanguard designs!!
(note: nothing designed here will be used in game no matter how awesome an idea it is. This is purely for fun and conversation)
//Edited Title -Brigby
I’ll start this off. Please excuse my attempt to copy their formatting without actually checking it first.
Ajani, Strength of the Pride
Color: Mono White
Health (at level 60): 120
First Ability (9 loyalty):
Gain X life where X is the number of creature and creature reinforcements you control, up to 5
Gain … up to 10
Gain…up to 15
Gain…up to 20
Second (12 Loyalty):
Create a 1/1 Cat creature with “whenever you gain life this creature gains +1/+1”
Create a 2/2 Cat…“gains +1/+1”
Create a 2/2 Cat…“reinforce this creature”
Create a 4/4 Cat…
Third (21 Loyalty):
Exile the first creature your opponent controls. You lose 80 life
Exile the first creature and a support…
Exile the first two creatures and supports…
Exile all creatures, supports, and vanguards your opponent controls. You lose 80 life
I’ll be shocked if we don’t get a new Chandra PW and two Chandra Vanguards.
What are the mana gains on that planeswalker of yours Mburn?
I agree with you there, although most of their abilities are really tough to port properly into PQ (since Emblems aren’t really a thing nor is 1 damage great, same goes for two 1/1 tokens that die or “deal X damage”)
I’d rather see one Chandra with one ability from each of the three.
Something like this maybe?
Chandra, Awakened Inferno
Color: Mono Red
Health (at level 60): 110
First Ability:
Each creature you control gets +1/2/3/4 +0 until end of turn. Each elemental also gets +1/2/3/4 +0 until end of turn
Second:
Deal 2/4/6/8 damage to each creature your opponent controls
Third:
Copy the first spell in your graveyard. It gains 1/4 mana. Then exile the first spell in your graveyard.
Copy…first 2 spells…exile the first 2 spells in your graveyard
Copy…1/2 mana…
Copy…Full mana…
But yeah, we’ll probably either get 1 new Chandra with meh abilities and 2 new vanguards or 3 new Chandras with meh abilities. Can’t wait.
I am leaving that out because I have no idea how to balance that lol. 
I’ll say assume all my mono color designs are 0/2/4/2/0 with the Origins Walkers ally color distribution (4 on main color, 2 on each ally, 0 on the others).
If someone has a better/less generic idea for them, let me know!
I would appreciate a more dedicated mono-color pw like koth or Elsbeth.
-1 to every off-color would result +13 red for chandra. But with those abilities I would still prefer koth…
I like monos like Koth, Elsbeth or Garruk for doing dailies fast and furious.
Hmmm, we already have Koth for the all-in red strategy.
How about use Yangling as an all in Blue? In paper she’s pretty solidly mono-blue, so it would make sense (just like how Koth is solidly mono-red)
Lili4 has Elspeth-mana as well
But lil4 got meh abilities too. To narrow and to week.
I would appreciate lil1 with more dedicate mana gain and well more hp.
I am fine with that. I have enough monos. I only “need” a mono that brimg something new or abuse a mechanic/card to make it fun.
I know Lili4’s abilities are kakas, they kept me from getting her despite the wonderful managain.
And a monoblue walker with +7 would be too good I think (max now is +5?).
I would guess it would be a new Chandra because all the other basic pws have at least 3 and she only has 2. I would like to see a new Kiora or Garruk.
Excpect Elementals to be a major tribe and let’s hope the Cavalier cycle doesn’t suck.
Beyond that, who really knows but I’d love to see a new Sorin.
I’ll second that. Would like to see a new Sorin that has strong black mana bonuses, a respectable life total, and good abilities.
Hmmm, Sorin you say? Lets see:
Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord
Color: Mono-Black
Health (at level 60): 115
First Ability:
Target Creature you control gains deathtouch until end of turn. If its a Vampire it gets +1/+1
Target…gains deathtouch and berzerker…Vampire it gets +2/+2
Target…gains deathtouch, berzerker, and lifelink…
Target…gains deathtouch, berzerker, lifelink, and prevent damage…Vampire reinforce it
Second:
Lose a reinforcement from a Vampire creature you control. Deal 3/6/9/12 damage to target creature or planeswalker and gain 3/6/9/12 life
Third:
Fetch the next vampire creature from your library. It gains 4/8/12/16 mana.
Is that first too good? Might need to switch it with the second. They are both plus abilities on the paper version, so it can go either way. But this is a mono black that would be fun to play around with I think.
My design speculation is this: if Vanguard lag isn’t fixed in 3.7, it never will be.
