Magic system based on the Magic CCG?

[Shag]

Anyone ever do this?

I'm really surprised that back when the creator of Magic was in charge he never did his campaign setting...with Urza et all in it...

I figure in stead of schools you just have the 5 colours and each level instead of slots you get to pick a colour of mana....

So say at 3rd level you would have 2 red and 1 green so you could only cast spells that were 2 red and 1 (any) or say 1 green and 2 (any)

Mmm it would be interesting...

it is called psionics in the older editions....

i blame the Blumes...

they didn't like the "regular" system.

Yeah, it would be pretty cool.

My understanding is that the M:tG folks were worried about "branding" back then. So a D&D/M:tG product would end up driving both crowds away instead of having some happy cross-polenization.

There is an article in the March 2003 issue of d20Zine! that is essentially M:tG for d20 without the product identity. It might be what you are after.

I think the magic rules for Michael Morris' DUSK (which is somewhere around here, probably www.enworld.org/dusk or something like that) is at least strongly inspired by Magic the Gathering.
