[QUOTE="M_Mandrake2012, post: 7755003, member: 92869"] Your and @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6895991"]Coroc[/URL][/U][/B][/I] comments have given me food for tought , and while I don't fear for the release of the ravnica setting, I know it will not be as good as it should and here why : I don't think they will integrate the color system to it. The color system is the backbone of magic lore, but in some planes it can be more or less impactful, innistrad being quite less influenced by it than say Zendikar ( and while the zendikar planeshift manual did talk lightly about colors , it did nothing to integrate it into the mechanics ) The color system can be akin to the alignements, and in such ambientations could totally supplant it. Where a lich in alignement terms is fundamentally evil, in magic color system terms it would be black. What would it mean in a mechanical sense ? well , colors represent ideas and abilities, and that could as well bestow creatures and players alike with those and vice versa. This message is a lot longer than I tought it would...and I feel there is much more to say, but...it's not like wizard of the coast read these :P, so I won't go into a 20 pages word essay to explain why I think the color system should be integrated with these ambientations... Edit : Forgot to add, I'm still hyped for the book , as it will serve as a solid base for my own version that I will make my players play [/QUOTE]
