As you can tell if you know anything about Magic cards (since 8th edition is now out 
) I've been sitting on this 95% done map for almost a year. Almost two years ago, I was inspired to create it by the map 'MTG Enigma'. All of the other MTG maps I'd seen before were terrible... but Enigma was actually very fun, and grabbed some ethereal aspect of skill that made it addictive.
So, I decided to try to focus on that and make a very professional MTG, beyond anything anyone's done before. I included all sorts of things that were innovative for the time... like every player being able to choose his own color (out of the 5 available colors). That player then had access to 5 spells, 5 summons, and a Legendary creature, on top of the normal fodder units that simply spawn. There are also 'Global Enchantments' which affect the playing field for everyone...
But I digress. The only thing left to do on this map is balance units and spells, something which I was never able to do alone. Anyone willing to help me out on this and test/play the map with me? At the very least, you'll get to see some interesting spell ideas

Being a rather avid MTG player in real life and having gone to a few tournaments in the last year this has caught my attention. (Just to let you know 8th edition came out two years ago now, 9th comes out in august) Anyway I wanted to know if you are going to make it so you have some of the games mechanics blended into the map. THings such as Affinity, Soulshift, Morph, Madness and all those good things.

Actually, the problem years ago was that I continually found better ways to do things... which has just now happened again. I'm going to take a few days to completely re-innovate this concept into a game based as much as possible in skill. It's not a faithful SC version of MTG at all; rather, a game in itself that uses MTG themes to enhance atmosphere and facilitate learning...
