New Mechanics
Vanishing
Vanishing is a numbered evergreen, representing creatures that come to the battlefield with extra might, but get weaker as time goes on.
When a creature with Vanishing[X] enters the battlefield, it receives a Vanishing value of X. At the beginning of a player’s turn, each of their creatures with Vanishing has its Vanishing value reduced by 1. Then: If the value becomes 0 or less, that card is destroyed.
The flip-side to this is that the creature also gains +X/+X based on the Vanishing value. You can also manipulate the time your creatures get: The Vanishing value can be affected (increased, accumulated, reduced) by other cards.
Delve
Delve is an evergreen mechanic that allows you to pay for your spells with the cards that have already gone to the graveyard.
A card with Delve will have its cost reduced by 2 times the number of cards in the player’s graveyard. After the card with Delve is cast, all the cards in the player’s graveyard will be exiled.
If the number of cards in the player’s graveyard surpasses the cost of the card, the card cost will be 0. If the player’s graveyard is empty, the card still can be cast, but at its full cost.
Grandeur
Grandeur is an evergreen mechanic representing how great leaders step up in multiple ways.
Each card with Grandeur will have a unique effect. Grandeur is triggered by exiling the same card from the player’s hand that is already on the battlefield. Grandeur does not cost mana. It can be used multiple times in a single turn, as long as the same card copy is exiled multiple times.

“Just as a broken relic can be mended, a shattered history can be made whole.”
If you think you’re having a bad day. Imagine you were a god-like wizard, with powers beyond imagination. But today, of all days, some red-aligned Planeswalker from a forsaken plane decided she would fix a tear in time and space and MEND your powers. Who asked them for that? My powers needed no mending.
Freaking red wizards.
They think they can blow everything up.
No consequences, not a single thought in those fiery heads.
They can blow things up, burn stuff down. ME? I could create life with my own hands. I could bend time to my own will. Now? After that so-called mending, I can spray water from my fingers and make seeds sprout. Here, have my card. I heard the drought has been tough on you guys, and hey, thank you for the bread.

“I have seen the future. It does not include you.”
Seeing the future is not always the best use of magic. Sure, you can tell what the enemy is going to do, each and all of their moves.
When the attack is arriving, from where it is coming from, what weapon swings your way. What spell they are casting.
But what good is seeing the future for if each and every one of the futures you see leads to your own death?
Special Rules
Each player has a support that lets them see and choose the opponent’s next draw. They can also try to steal cards from their opponent’s graveyard.

New Planeswalkers
Baru, Fist of Krosa
The descendant of one of the biggest legends of his own time, Baru follows in the footsteps of Kamahl, the Fist of Krosa. The forest itself was devastated by the lack of mana caused by the Rifts over the plane. Baru and his fellow druids never gave up on restoring the region to its former glory.

Sliver Legion
What is a Legion? An army formed by the citizens of a Kingdom, Republic or empire?
