I'm beginning work on a story losely based on the MTG multiverse. It will have the basic colours used in the game (red, white, blue, black, and green), however, I have added character types as well, which will affect your proficiency in the colour, how you use it, and your personality. So far I have decided that the white group shall continue to be religious, however, instead of character types I am using deitys instead of character types. The cults for the deitys will determine what you use the colour for (peacekeeping, safegaurding, etc.) and the personality of the cults can range from religous zealots intent on spreading your deity's influence through any means possible to pacifists who will never harm a soul, and focuses instead on spreading peace and harmony throughout the world. i have many ideas, but i am planning on writing the story colour-by-colour rather than all at once since I plan for it to be very expansive, even though it is my first story on this site. Any ideas or criticism is welcome, and if you want me to clarify on anything like the MTG multiverse or just my ideas for other colours or creature types, just ask.

I have always thought that basing a story on the MTG multiverse would make a good story, however, I always thought that it would be a long and tedious process. You could let the player choose what color they want to play in the beginning and you could use the most well known planeswalker from each color to be the main character. Ex. If i wanted to play blue I could play as Jace or white I could be Elspeth. I also think that Magic players will judge and rate your story a little more strictly than others so you will need to be as accurate with you details as you can...All in all, I think its a great idea for a story and I have been a Magic player for a long time so if you need any help with anything just send me a pm on here. Good luck with your story!

I was gonna write one on it, but instead I started a writing a collection of storys loosely (and I mean EXTREMELY loosely) based on magic. There are gonna be five, one set  in a swampland, another in a land of plains etc. However, I am not going off magic cards or story at all, the only thing about MTG that I am including are the colours, and the creatures used in the story. So there are no card-based spells (intentionally anyways, in a game as extensive as MTG it's kinda hard not to.) and an original storyline. There is no mana, although I was playing with the notion of making you an emporer and the more lands you take, more powerful your mages are in that colour. The first I am making is of a person raised in the marshlands (swamps) of Kudal, where you are gifted with magic and you get to choose between being a necromancer and a spellslinger (the spellslinger's spells will be based on MTG spells.) Just remember this is my first ever story so I may get some things confused or just not do a good job with writing the story lol.

you minus well go ahead and sepperate it so far from magic that you dont even need to call it magic based, maybe magic inspired. :)

might as well... and I like that idea, lets go with that

awesome idea

Why thank you, I may have to post one closer to the storyline later since people seem to like the idea, The name of my first story is Marsh Casualties btw

it may be a bit of a hassle but i'd like to be a planeswalker combining black and red (aka fire and death or pyromancy and necromancy)

This is three years old for fuck's sake!

whoops

BO!. I forgot about this guy. Hope he comes back. 

Maybe he will, and maybe my original comment will be significant after all

He was on just a week ago.

So there is a chance then...
