Details: Returning Mechanic: Affinity but this time for Enchantments or Basic Lands. Themes: Enchantments, Extra Hexproof. Breakdown: 20 Mythics, 1 Premium, 50 Rares, 60 Uncommons, 100 Commons, 20 Basic Lands, 251 Total. Wallbreak: Return of Serra Angel as Common and a Card with 7 Keywords. (Akroma had 6) Also a Card that is conditionally better then Time Walk. Color Warp: Blue loses its Counterspells and gains a powerful C.A. Tool as compensation. First Card: Well Counterspells existed since the beggining of the game. However me and wizards have both started to realize how boring they are. Wizards hated them in Avacyn Restored with Cavern of Souls. However it can only protect so few spells and is rare and hard and pricy to obtain. Also a simple Ghost Quarter can kick it off. I want something that can wipe Counterspells off of the Metagame. Although Counterspells do not exist in this set other then 1 Remand Type this card is meant to clean up the bad stuff done by them in the past. Everyone loves having fun! Having your spells countered is no fun though. This card comes:

People will complain about having no counterspells in this set. For that reason, I think you should slowly phase them out, much like what Wizards has done with land destruction, and print a conditionally playable counterspell to appease blue players. Something like: Plumber's Revenge
  Instant Counter target spell unless its controller pays  . "Not even a wizard can escape from a mana leak!"

My Standard deck: Setting SunThink of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.
Are you saying I'm trying to blame my loss on something? I don't care that I lost, I care that he's a sore loser, and a cheater, and a liar.
CKY, are you bad at anything?
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.
I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.
I'm beginning to think CKY may be anime in real life...

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]
Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world. I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice. How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare? Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.
Then there is the impact on other industries. Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry? Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon. How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?
And let's not forget the milk on the cereal. In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk. Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed. Of course, I really like bacon. So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness. What trade-offs am I willing to make here? Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus? Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?
Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible. Help me!
I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.
Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

Second Card: Well if you think 6 Keywords are enough on 1 Card, this card says otherwise. With 7 Keywords this outkeywords Akroma and the only way to get this is by Opening a Random Mythic Pack and getting lucky enough to get the Premium Card instead. This Card is Powerful and I based it off of Sword of Vengeance. There are many ways to get it very powerful like in Modern Equipcats. The Card Comes:

Spellshield Tower is bad. Spells cannot be countered
1. I don't like this ability being free on a land.
2. It's silly to have a counter nerf in a set without any counters. And it's useless in limited.
3. I don't like that there isn't a cost for this, even a " Counter target spell that would counter a spell you control"
Spellshield tower is indestructible
Why isn't this just "indestructible"?
Not having counter spells is a bad idea, it's the only form of removal blue has, and mono-blue decks will be worthless. Every color has a type of removal, black obviously has the real removal, white has remove attackers + exile + wrath + "You shall not pass" effects, green has pump and brawl, and Red throws fire at your face. If you remove the removal of even one of these colors then you break the color itself. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, I personally don't think wrath effects are very fun, but they are a core part of white's identity (although white could survive without it since it has more types of removal than black does). If you don't like counters then why not just make "Uncounterable" a keyword, and then tack it on to a lot of red and green spells (i could imagine a shock variant with Uncounterable for the same price).

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"

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 had a great idea for this core set. Since we're pushing hexproof, we could have a rare that takes hexproof up to eleven. Ooze of the Forest
 Creature – Ooze 5/5 Hexproof, Hexproof. (This can not be the Target of Spells or Abilities your Opponents control. Seriously.)And what core set would be complete without direct damage? Lightning Bolt
 Instant Lightning Bolt deals 3 Damage to Target Creature or Player. 3 Facts: This comes from the Sky, Contains tons of Energy, and Causes electrocution.

If you really want to push Hexproof why don't you just expand on what it does by making it work on more then just the battlefield? Dungrove Elder  Creature - Treefolk [R] Hexproof (This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control while in any zone.)
Dungrove Elder's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Forests you control. */* 3 Facts: The change to Hexproof doesn't just keep it from being countered but stops stuff like Rise from the Grave  , This card is an excellent choice for a reprint because it jives well with two of your three main themes, and Causes face smashings.
