Anyway, to help explain what I want to do with Seed, see Mindbender Spores  . I've decided to go with fungus counters over spore counters. This does mean that we'll be cutting Thallids from the menu in favor of other fungus creatures that use Fungus counters to do effects. Sporogenesis  will be making a return as a re-print. Now I just have to work out how to make this work. I may have to drop the "color matters: green or not-green" theme because I can't really figure out how to make cards that make things green that aren't too wordy.
I think the idea of dropping the greening effect of fungus counters is a good idea but you can still have a green/nongreen subtheme. How about a black removal spell that works on nongreen creatures? Or maybe green's allied colors and enemy colors have a different approach to dealing with green. Maybe green's enemy colors can't handle it at all.

Just to be clear where there previously no plants on Sankora or just nothing like these or in this amount.
I'm shooting for no living plants in historical memory. The silt-sands of Sankora are extremely nutrient rich and can support some animal life that has evolved to absorb minerals from the ground. Sentient races then raise and prey off of these creatures as well as use certain nutrient deposits for food. I picture the world similar to that plane at the edge of the multiverse that Urza went to that was basically a land of dust as far as the eye could see in all directions with wise ancient people counting the days to the end of the multiverse. Cut out the wise ancient people and replace them with a society that is fighting for survival and you're closer to what I'm shooting for.
Yeah I wondered how that would work. The no plants idea seemed cool but it needed that justification to work.

Hey guys, awhile ago, I made a sand creature. Seeing this thread, I'd like to show you guys. It's actually based off of a story I'm writing/drawing, so just change it's name.

I assume it costs 6, right? "Dies to doomblade" but still kind of strong, probably Titan-level strong. If this thing sees an attack step and the opponent doesn't have a wrath next turn, it's basically game.
Most importantly though, this card feels waaaaaaaaay more red than white, even more green than white.
Also I know it's a drawing and I shouldn't be harsh about it, but I literally have no idea what's going on in that art. I can only see a face and... things.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Was using construct-a-card, so the mana symbols are a bit hard to see. And feel free to adjust it. And sorry about the quality of the art. Heres what it is.  What do you suppose the guys thinking?

He's prolly thinking
a. Why did you post your own card in somebody else's thread?
b. Why the hell did you put the white mana symbols before the colourless mana symbol??????

Heres a cool idea for a green overlord kind of character. Erzuval, the Evercreep   Legendary Creature-Fungus Lord (Change if you need) Seed, Trample, Pay , all creatures target player controls must block this creature if able this turn. Pay  gain control of target permanent with a fungus counter on it. 5/9

Just remember to explain the basics of Sankora's traditional biology on your cards/ Flav text obviously plays a big part. Some ideas might be traditional rock-eating creatures trolls, ogres, large "grazing" animals with funky looing mouth parts, oozes?, wurms and termitey things. I actually like the ooze type idea, maybe the bottom of the food chain is composed of slow moving sluglike things that dissolve rocks and maybe the large ones are armour-plated.

What should Erzuval's be?
"Soon, all shall become one!" But that kinda sounds Phyrexian.
"Blaugh!" He's not human, so maybe he doesn't have to make sense?
"Feel the warmth of life as you assimilate unto us"
Speaking of which, how about, on top of taking control of stuff, they become fungi creatures on top of their other types?
As for the Sand Wyrm, they eat whatever they find. And they "swim" through the sand, so they're fast. Their multiplying ability is supposed to represent the fact that as soon as one finds prey, the whole pack is on that. They're pack creatures, and quite effective at that too. I also came up with the pack leaders, but for this, they may be a tad bit too overpowered.

The most obvious ways I see the plant "faction" being portrayed is either as beleiving that they are justified bringing life to a barren world or just not really having much of a moral stance on the issue and growing because that's what they evolved to do. Personally I would like to see both stances explored by different levels of the plant hierarchy or as the block progresses.
