Arien: Angelic War ("Trading")

Sun, 2011-02-27 22:38
Sohel	Set Symbol Arien is a plane where both angels and demons roam free. Demons on this plane are unique, as they manipulate ice and the cold instead of fire (in most cases). It is said that long ago, when the demons ruled the plane, led by the Archdemon of Frost himself; a blazing angel descended and vanquished the Archdemon. This solar angel, called Erion, then created ten Archangels to maintain peace in the plane. Erion then entered a deep slumber, ready to be awakened in case the Archdemon was released. Eons have passed, and war has torn between the Archangels Erion left; five against five. The Scorching Five, led by Annika, try to find Erion's resting place to avoid the releasing of the Archdemon. On the other hand, the Frosted Ones wield ice, frost, snow and cold while trying to release the Archdemon of Frost. Arien is a plane similar to the Elizabethan Era and the Spanish Golden Age. Its major landmarks are: The Erdoni Moors, a sunny flatland where spirits roam; The Bog of Nawraith, an icy swamp, a huge source of black, snowy mana; The Sea of Elliah, the northernmost landmark and the place where Cephalids thrive; The Norvond Range, a blazing mountain range where the unpredictable dragons dominate the skies; The Dargen Forest, a shady place with many secrets; The Nogarak Remains, a huge valley filled with draconic remains; The Lake of Valor, a lake of warm waters in the middle of the Erdoni Moors, in the middle of the known world; The Island of Light, located in the middle of the Lake of Valor, where the City of Light stands. The City of Light, a big, baroque city where the base of the Scorching Five is located. Each archangel has his/her own mechanic. There will be five archangels on each of the first two sets, and Erion and the Archdemon will feature in [Game]. There will be some cycles around the block. The first set, [Trading], will have 280 cards, not including lands, and have the Snow mechanic. 20 cards will be basic (snow) lands. It should also have five specific mechanics: Spoiler: The Durian League Their leader is Annika, Archangel of Truth. The Durian are very strict with themselves, and try not to break any rule at all. Their mission is to discover the truth behind the cold, snowy Bog of Nawraith and the sunny Erdoni Moors, which are filled with spirits. Their theme is to have more life than every other opponent, either by dealing damage, or by gaining life. The Esion Their leader is Fër, Archangel of Purity. The Ësion care about creatures. As Fër herself put it: "No matter how different, each creature has it's reason to be." The Irzmod The leader is Aneron, Archangel of Despair, and he was the first to toy with the powers of frost. His followers are the Irzmod. They are very strict in their religion; they consider themselves as pure as snow and that others are not worth living. Their ultimate goal is to release the Archdemon, though only their leaders know about this. Their theme is to control more creatures than any other player, either by destroying the opposition, or by putting 1/1 flying snow spirits. The Kerion Their leader is Nomiram, Archangel of Delusions. Their theme is to have the highest converted mana cost on the battlefield, and as such they contain several cards with high mana costs. Alternative costs are a big part of this faction. Their mechanic is based off an Onslaught theme. The Kojic Cult Their leader is Enirod, Archangel of Corruption. They are very fervorous in their cult, even more than the Irzmod, although having shamans and monks instead of clerics. Together with the Irzmod, the Kojic are the ones trying to releasse the Archdemon in this set. Their theme is to have less permanents in your graveyard than every other player, either by destroying, or by returning their dead to life. (Note: not to unlife) These are the five archangels on the first set on the Erion-Snow war. The mechanics in this set: Spoiler: Kicker, making a return; Frost^(new), a keyword appearing on snow creatures; Blaze^(new), a keyword appearing in creatures with will of fire, those that follow the Scorching Five; and Melt^(new), a non-keyworded ability that removes frost counters and deals damage, present only on blazing creatures. Spoiler: Frost (Whenever this deals damage to creature, put a frost counter on that creature. Creatures with three or more frost counters can't block. Creatures with five or more counters die.) Blaze (Damage dealt by this can't be prevented. If this would deal damage to a snow creature, it deals that much damage plus 2 instead.) Melt - triggered or activated ability that removes an amount Frost counters from a permanent which may result into an effect. Present only on permanents with Blaze. Plane cards may come back on each set, featuring 10 per set. Also, I think that Archenemy could on the last set. Logistics: Spoiler: This is the proportions of the rarities and cards per color: Spoiler: Monocolor: 200 cards: : 40 cards (24 10 5 1 ) : 40 cards (24 10 5 1 ) : 40 cards (24 10 5 1 ) : 40 cards (24 10 5 1 ) : 40 cards (24 10 5 1 ) Total: 120 50 25 5 Multicolor: 85 cards: : 17 cards (6 7 2 2 ) : 17 cards (6 7 2 2 ) : 17 cards (6 7 2 2 ) : 17 cards (6 7 2 2 ) : 17 cards (6 7 2 2 ) Total: 30 35 10 10 Colorless: Artifacts: 5 cards.

Set Symbol

Arien is a plane where both angels and demons roam free. Demons on this plane are unique, as they manipulate ice and the cold instead of fire (in most cases). It is said that long ago, when the demons ruled the plane, led by the Archdemon of Frost himself; a blazing angel descended and vanquished the Archdemon. This solar angel, called Erion, then created ten Archangels to maintain peace in the plane. Erion then entered a deep slumber, ready to be awakened in case the Archdemon was released. Eons have passed, and war has torn between the Archangels Erion left; five against five. The Scorching Five, led by Annika, try to find Erion's resting place to avoid the releasing of the Archdemon. On the other hand, the Frosted Ones wield ice, frost, snow and cold while trying to release the Archdemon of Frost.

Arien is a plane similar to the Elizabethan Era and the Spanish Golden Age. Its major landmarks are:

The Erdoni Moors, a sunny flatland where spirits roam;
The Bog of Nawraith, an icy swamp, a huge source of black, snowy mana;
The Sea of Elliah, the northernmost landmark and the place where Cephalids thrive;
The Norvond Range, a blazing mountain range where the unpredictable dragons dominate the skies;
The Dargen Forest, a shady place with many secrets;
The Nogarak Remains, a huge valley filled with draconic remains;
The Lake of Valor, a lake of warm waters in the middle of the Erdoni Moors, in the middle of the known world;
The Island of Light, located in the middle of the Lake of Valor, where the City of Light stands.
The City of Light, a big, baroque city where the base of the Scorching Five is located.

Each archangel has his/her own mechanic. There will be five archangels on each of the first two sets, and Erion and the Archdemon will feature in [Game]. There will be some cycles around the block.
The first set, [Trading], will have 280 cards, not including lands, and have the Snow mechanic. 20 cards will be basic (snow) lands. It should also have five specific mechanics:

Spoiler:

The Durian League
Their leader is Annika, Archangel of Truth. The Durian are very strict with themselves, and try not to break any rule at all. Their mission is to discover the truth behind the cold, snowy Bog of Nawraith and the sunny Erdoni Moors, which are filled with spirits. Their theme is to have more life than every other opponent, either by dealing damage, or by gaining life.

The Esion
Their leader is Fër, Archangel of Purity. The Ësion care about creatures. As Fër herself put it: "No matter how different, each creature has it's reason to be."

The Irzmod
The leader is Aneron, Archangel of Despair, and he was the first to toy with the powers of frost. His followers are the Irzmod. They are very strict in their religion; they consider themselves as pure as snow and that others are not worth living. Their ultimate goal is to release the Archdemon, though only their leaders know about this. Their theme is to control more creatures than any other player, either by destroying the opposition, or by putting 1/1 flying snow spirits.

The Kerion
Their leader is Nomiram, Archangel of Delusions. Their theme is to have the highest converted mana cost on the battlefield, and as such they contain several cards with high mana costs. Alternative costs are a big part of this faction. Their mechanic is based off an Onslaught theme.

The Kojic Cult
Their leader is Enirod, Archangel of Corruption. They are very fervorous in their cult, even more than the Irzmod, although having shamans and monks instead of clerics. Together with the Irzmod, the Kojic are the ones trying to releasse the Archdemon in this set. Their theme is to have less permanents in your graveyard than every other player, either by destroying, or by returning their dead to life. (Note: not to unlife)

These are the five archangels on the first set on the Erion-Snow war.

The mechanics in this set:

Spoiler:

Kicker, making a return;
Frost^(new), a keyword appearing on snow creatures;
Blaze^(new), a keyword appearing in creatures with will of fire, those that follow the Scorching Five; and
Melt^(new), a non-keyworded ability that removes frost counters and deals damage, present only on blazing creatures.

Spoiler:
Frost (Whenever this deals damage to creature, put a frost counter on that creature. Creatures with three or more frost counters can't block. Creatures with five or more counters die.)
Blaze (Damage dealt by this can't be prevented. If this would deal damage to a snow creature, it deals that much damage plus 2 instead.)
Melt - triggered or activated ability that removes an amount Frost counters from a permanent which may result into an effect. Present only on permanents with Blaze.

Plane cards may come back on each set, featuring 10 per set. Also, I think that Archenemy could on the last set.

Death and Taxes	Okay, here are my comments: Durian Enforcer: Why does it cost white mana to evoke? The evoke ability is completely red, and should probably cost 1R. Also, the casting cost should be 1 more. I'd also make this guy uncommon, or raise the cost even more. Irzmod Condemner: Why does paying W to cast it make it kill creatures? If you removed that ability, he could probably be dropped down to 5 mana to cast and 3 to evoke. Kojic Death-Sage: Way too good. You can cast any green or black spell for either SGB or 1GGB. Should probably be changed to only return the card to your hand and (since it's black) maybe only affect creatures. Also, you forgot the power and toughness, and I'd take the S off the evoke cost.

K1L1	This seems like a cool set. I like the Durian. On the Irzmod, maybe give them somekind of taking control of other player's creatures? The Kojic seems a little boring to me. Maybe I don't exactly have an idea of what you're thinking of doing with that mechanic but I'm interested to find out. Also, I could help with finding pictures for the cards.

Sohel	Thanks to both of you for the quick comment. Those cards were supposed to be a "evoke cycle". I'll make them uncommon then. About the , I've checked which of the archangels turned "evil" (the ones with negative attributes: e.g.: Deceit) and all black archangels are snow, so all swamps are Snow Lands. One of each of the other basic land prints will be snow, so every snow-supportive group (still dunno how to call them. I was between faction and guild, but then realized that they were both taken.) will get enough .

Thanks to both of you for the quick comment. Those cards were supposed to be a "evoke cycle". I'll make them uncommon then.
About the Snow mana symbol , I've checked which of the archangels turned "evil" (the ones with negative attributes: e.g.: Deceit) and all black archangels are snow, so all swamps are Snow Lands. One of each of the other basic land prints will be snow, so every snow-supportive group (still dunno how to call them. I was between faction and guild, but then realized that they were both taken.) will get enough Snow mana symbol .

Death and Taxes	I'd like to comment that making cards with S in their mana cost can be a bit of a problem - In limited, they'll hardly see any play, since players will have maybe 5 snow lands maximum, mostly off-color, and in constructed players will also need to get hard-to-find snow lands. Personally, I'd make every card with the S on it playable without snow lands. Onto the cards: Lifeseeder: The "If you have fewer cards" clause is unnecessary. Also, this creature can create many tokens, so 5 mana is a bit little. I'd make it cost 6-7 mana and might make it a rare. Enirod's Emissary: Great if the ability is active, horrible if it isn't. I'd recommend making it a 3/3 without trample that gets +1/+1 and gains trample from the ability - that way, it's always a decent creature. Kojic Initiation: Should probably cost less. Maybe 2G and reduce the second buff to +1/+1, or make it 2GG. It's pretty weak and overpriced as it is now.

Sohel	Here on the iTouch too! Well, I want to innovate, not simply mix mechanics. I get your idea, but what I want is to is create a state-based action, such as having more cards in hand than each opponent (I won't use this mechanic in this set anyway).

Anywho... since they want to teach everyone, then I think a symmetrical effect would be what you need. Maybe having the same cards in hand (knowledge) as each other player or symmetrical drawing.

Sohel	Thanks, Sorrow! I'm glad not to be the only one working on this. I know about Frost. Frost counters are a main part on the set, so there will be plenty of counter removal around here. The Irzmod (including Aneron's Emissary) S-B A is not to be the one with less nonland permanents (as written up there, spells) but now that I wrote this, I think that it should be reworded as "ad long as you control more nonland permanents than any opponent, ~". Maybe "Destroy target nonland permanent, then return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield under your control." on Enirod's Curse? I see your point on Kojic Death-Training. I'll reword it. I'll reword Kojic Death-Sage to "When Kojic Death-Sage enters the battlefield, if was spent to cast it,you may put target black and green creature spell from your graveyard to the battlefield under your control." The "Kojic Spokesperson" SBA was my mistake. Sorry. It should read "~ as long as you have less cards in your graveyard than all opponents" Yeah, I'll probably take off the +1/+1 part. Good idea for Annika. Not quite sure about it, though. And welcome to the team! I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!

Ink	I grasp what the cards are supposed to do, aesthetics on wording can be left for later as long as they don't change the functionality of the card. Enirod's Curse "if [] was spent" line should have an optional effect. I'm not sure though. Seeing River's Grasp, if you used both blue and black mana, as you had no choice but use both to get the 4cc, you want to bounce a creature but you can't cast the spell because let's say, both players have Ivory Mask online. Like I said, I'm not sure if you can choose not to target. What I meant for Annika was the fact that she already has lifelink. The moment the ETB triggers, she'll deal 5 damage to a target and net you 5 life due to lifelink, plus another 5 life due to the rest of your ETB trigger... and deal another 5 damage and lifelink another 5 life because it has haste (and let's your opponent has no blockers). That gives you 10 damage to an opponent and life gain of 15. That nets you a 25 life point swing. That's a mythic worthy one time shot. A damage distribution clause makes her even more devastating as she can wipe out a weenie squad and let your own troops ride through to hit your opponent for an alpha strike, but it's all up to you.

frederickwaffles	I would be glad to join the team; I already have a set of my own. Maybe we could combine planes as your's a mammoth one and mine a smaller one (I only have 57 cards so far) to make an even bigger one. Sort of like how India collided with Asia or the Shards of Alara. My plane is Odysseum, Plane of Chaos and Destiny. Even though yours is a plane of angels, I could add a couple demons or dragons that I made. Even a Kraken or Another angel too. Sort of like this card: Spoiler: Yes, I did borrow this image from Celstial Mantle. But there are thousands of planes, so why not? Also, using the same image doesn't violate rule 12 of the Forum Rules, does it? If it does, just tell me to remove it please, because I don't want to be suspended.

Sohel	@frederickwaffles: I don't think it's a good idea to make a Conflux in here. The Arians (I just made that up) already have a lot going on in their plane with the traitorous archangels. I know that you couldn't read the proper introduction for the thread because of a glitch or something, but the Archdemon of Frost, Indozhav, is actually imprisoned in the plane. Where he is is "confidential". There are ten Archangels on the plane (well, actually eleven, but one is in a deep slumber, where he is is also "confidential"). The ten archangels mentioned before helped the sleeping archangel, Erion, seal Indozhav (of course before he was put asleep) but now five of them (two in this set, three in the next) have succumbed to the power of frost and are trying to release Indozhav. What I intend with telling you this is that there will be plenty of demons in here. Also, there are the Nogarak Remains, a huge quarry filled with the bones of HUGE dragons long extinct from here.

Rusty Keyes	It seems a little weird to prevent blocking because you can still hide behind unmoving objects (walls). If anything I would have it make the creature gain defender instead. Plus, then there are more interactions with cards that care about it. ★ Administrator ★ “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” -Marcus T. Cicero

Ink	@Rusty Keyes Yeah, "can't attack"/defender is more flavorful for something that's freezing up. Aurification nostalgia. On Blaze: I think having both the counter negation and damage merged is a good idea. Blaze (If a counter would be placed on this, instead this deals 1 damage to target creature an opponent controls. This deals damage to snow creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.) We'll have to test the interaction with Frost. I think it might hose frost too much.

frederickwaffles	Thanks sohel! Sorry I couldn't respond earlier; schedule's muddled up. And yes, you can call me Fred. I have an idea for the storyline, just a way to mix krakens in. As the archangels were amid their quarrels, a new empire erupted suddenly from out of the blue. Literally. From a dark void of a crystal ocean an almost forgotten ancient planeswalker emerged, Sankca, a powerful kraken sorceress who dispised angels/archangels. Up with her came an army of blue and black wielding sorcerors who soon put the archangels at unease. Sankca specializes in: Occasionally Black but mostly Blue Krakens Black and Blue Sorcerors/sorceresses Leviathans Black and Blue Merfolk. Her fate is to be decided. It will probably either be A) The archangels Annika and Enirod sign a temporary peace treaty and destroy her B) She succeeds in her evil plans and plunges the plane into darkness C) She is at a never ending war with the Archangels. She might be the only planeswalker in the set/or she's not a planeswalker But if she is, here you go. (I couldn't find a classification for her in the list) Sancka Rok 3BU Planeswalker - Sancka [M] Shroud +1 Put a 0/1 blue and black sorceror creature token onto the battlefield with sacrifice ~, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. -1 Destroy target forest, mountain or plains. ~ deals 3 damage to it's controller. -10 Deal 7 damage to target creature, draw 7 cards, destroy 7 lands, and destroy an angel. [4] Hope you like it! Try to add some constructive criticism, for I doubt this story could work the way it is.

Thanks sohel! Sorry I couldn't respond earlier; schedule's muddled up.
And yes, you can call me Fred.

I have an idea for the storyline, just a way to mix krakens in.

As the archangels were amid their quarrels, a new empire erupted suddenly from out of the blue. Literally. From a dark void of a crystal ocean an almost forgotten ancient planeswalker emerged, Sankca, a powerful kraken sorceress who dispised angels/archangels. Up with her came an army of blue and black wielding sorcerors who soon put the archangels at unease.

Sankca specializes in:
Occasionally Black but mostly Blue Krakens
Black and Blue Sorcerors/sorceresses
Leviathans
Black and Blue Merfolk.

Her fate is to be decided. It will probably either be

A) The archangels Annika and Enirod sign a temporary peace treaty and destroy her
B) She succeeds in her evil plans and plunges the plane into darkness
C) She is at a never ending war with the Archangels.

She might be the only planeswalker in the set/or she's not a planeswalker
But if she is, here you go. (I couldn't find a classification for her in the list)

Sancka Rok 3BU

Planeswalker - Sancka [M]

Shroud
+1 Put a 0/1 blue and black sorceror creature token onto the battlefield with sacrifice ~, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
-1 Destroy target forest, mountain or plains. ~ deals 3 damage to it's controller.
-10 Deal 7 damage to target creature, draw 7 cards, destroy 7 lands, and destroy an angel.

[4]
Hope you like it! Try to add some constructive criticism, for I doubt this story could work the way it is.

Sohel	Well, Fred, I like the outline of your story; but I think it would fit better in the second set; and, also, the Frost War (Erion Side: angels & spirits, VS Indozhav Side: angels & demons, VS the Nogarak: spirit dragons) is enough trouble for the Arians to give them evil water-dwellers and/or another Conflux. Here's how it could be merged with the story: The followers of the Archangel of Deceit are the Cephalids, together with their monstrous Krakens and some humans. They wield black and blue mana. (Remember that there are five more archangels/factions on the next set) As the Frost War ensues, a group of cephalids go to the newly discovered Nogarak Remains and attempt to use the draconic bones to their favor; but they instead activate ancient draconic magic and free the Nogarak Dragons in the form of spirits (they will use the colorless template); thus bringing in a new faction to the war. Sanka might be a powerful Cephalid sorceress, a close follower (and maybe high priest) of the Archangel of Deceit. About the planeswalkers, I know that I haven't added them to the skeleton, but there will be two in this set: a one, who is against Aneron's will; and a one, a high Death-Sage from the Kojic faction. Edit: I'm grounded, so please be patient around here. I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!

frederickwaffles	One thing about Annika: the wording is slightly off. You're a player too, no need for her to say "players and you"

Fri, 2011-03-25 22:59
Sohel	Sohel reporting here on a borrowed iPod. @frederickwaffles: Annika says "When Annika enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, it deals 5 damage divided as you choose among any number of creatures and/or players and you gain 5 life." What I mean with this is that she deals damage and you gain 5 life. That would be 15 life in one turn. (5 for kicker effect, 5 for lifelink + kicker damage, and 5 for lifelink + attack) I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!

Ink	@Sohel Does the Kerion mechanic based on CMC pertain to certain permanents or can it be the Sorcery and Instant card types?

Sat, 2011-03-26 01:11
Sohel	Sohel reporting here on an unseen moment. I was thinking of something as "<whatever> for as long as you control the permanent with the highest CMC on the battlefield, <effect>" Writing about keywords, I'm thinking about rewording the Irzmod as "more creatures". What do you think? I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!

Sat, 2011-03-26 01:17
frederickwaffles	I like that idea. Not much more to say

Sat, 2011-03-26 01:40
Ink	@Sohel I was thinking: Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell with converted mana cost 5 or more. Your Kerion example is a throwback to Scourge's "big cmc matters" with Krosan Drover, Dispersal Shield, Torrent of Fire. I think it can work. As for Irzmod, it works as well.

Sat, 2011-03-26 01:52
Sohel	Sohel reporting here on yet another unseen moment. sorrow, you guessed right. How 'bout a reprint of Scornful Egotist? Maybe we could bring back from the grave Morph? If we did, then which other mechanics would we use? Why so many questions? Durian: Blaze? Ësion: ? and Irzmod: Frost? Kerion: Morph? and Kojic: Frost too? I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!

Sat, 2011-03-26 02:25
Ink	Morph is something distinct to Dominaria. The "morph creature" doesn't fit flavorfully into the faction or the setting. I think Suspend would be a better choice as well as other various alternate costs that are lower than their respective cards CMC. Disdainful Egotist Creature - Human Wizard Suspend 2- 1/1

Sohel	Sohel reporting here on a third unseen moment. So, it's settled. The Kerion mechanic is to have the highest CMC on the battlefield. On another subject, does anyone have any ideas of which reprints to make?

Sohel	Sohel reporting here on a safe moment. @sorrow: imprint would be to cast the card, that's all. I was thinking of the races on Arien. Well, there are obviously humans, angels, treefolk and plants, and spirits; but I haven't put what are the races here. So, here they go: -Humans: All ten groups. -Treefolk: Kojic and probably the one. -Spirits: Anything white and/or black. -Specters: The group. -Demons: Black, red and snow. (maybe later on; might be this set) -Elementals, maybe. -Shades: Irzmod. -Cephalids: Any blue group could have them. -Kraken: The . -Any kind of animal. Races not in the plane: -Elves (I know this is quite weird, but I wanted to do something different) -Zombies: No zombies on the first two sets, except for the Mummification. Now, I am thinking of adding winged, white/red-alligned Viashino to the set. They would have "puryfying breath", and they would be Durian members. Some of them, however, would have been corrupted and would be now snow and black-alligned. They would have corrupting breath. Any other race you would like in here?

frederickwaffles	I have an idea for set three (I know thats a while from now). A Kitkin hermatige is discovered by one of the archangels. They convert the Kithkin to their beliefs and they have a new ally! This could just add a bit of flavor, and Kitkins are my favorite race.

Ink	@sohel I realized that the earlier iterations aren't possible because the card is spell on the stack when it imprints something into it.

Nomiram, Archangel of <Delusions> Legendary Creature - Angel Flying, <shroud/first strike>, haste Kicker When Nomiram enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, for each player, gain control of target permanent with the highest converted mana cost among permanents that player controls. 5/5 Wacky stuff...

On the Blue mana symbol arcahngel ability... maybe Vigilance?
On Nomiram:
Nomiram, Archangel of <something NOT evil> 2 mana symbol Red mana symbol
Legendary Creature - Angel Mythic Rare
Flying, <first strike/shroud/vigilance>, haste
Kicker 1 mana symbol
When Nomiram enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, gain control of target permanent with the highest converted mana cost among permanents each opponent controls.
5/5
I'm really not that happy with this...
Now, the red skeleton is in progress. Anything you do now will most probably be included. Same as blue and multicolor.
I have a ~~request~~ proposition for you two. As you might know, this set has a cycle of uncommon lands, and a cycle of rare lands. What I want each of you to do is a land with the theme of an ice labyrinth. It can be aligned to any color or group, or it can be totally colorless. What I intend to do with this lands is the following:
1) Each of us submits a land.
2) We three choose the best submission.
3) The chosen land becomes part of the set.
Also, I think we need more people in here. Any suggestions?

I'm back! I survived the Eater of Days!
