There are Angels and Demons on the plane of Jask, but for once they're not warring. The angels are too pacifistic to wage war on the demons, and the demons are too cowardly to wage war on someone as strong as the angels. They have names, by the way. The angels are called the Eldya, and the demons the Til.
For a long time the angels have done nothing but play the doctors in the various wars that have outbroken over the decades. This is despite their great military strength. More recently there have been certain internal forces lobbying for change. There are those who think the angels should finally take up arms and fight those that do wrong, such as the Til. Reya is one such angel. She believes that the Til needs to be stopped, but the majority of her kin believe in the templar's lies, that the Til keep to themselves. She knows about the kidnappings and the experiments. She lost her mother to them. All she has left is her sister, Rena. Eventually Reya's public declerations got a little too loud, and she found herself an outcast among her kind. Rena followed her in her descent from the great cloud cities of the Eldya.
The demons are a simple and far less interesting kind. They torture, murder, steal, every despicable thing you could think of. Usually their orgies of violence ARE self-contained, but in the interest of experimentation, many of the higher demons have taken to kidnapping denizens of lesser races like the PiruPiru, or the Eldya who won't fight back. One such man was named Dact. He was a brilliant man, a genius really. His experiments brought him closer to the seat of god than any man before him had. The templars intervened before things went too far, and he found himself exiled from his home. He took his research on the road, and is close to finding a new source of victims to disect.

Funny, deathcast's like my old martyr mechanic from my wedge set. (It was the Kaalia-colored mechanic.) Martyr--When ~ dies, you may exile it. If it is exiled this way, _instant/sorcery- or enchantment-like effect_. Rarity mattered a lot in martyr. Reya Dawnbringer  exists.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

Deathcast needs to be more consistent. Either make it "Deathcast – [cost], Exile ~ from your graveyard: [effect]" or "Deathcast – [cost], Exile a creature card from your graveyard: [effect]."
Embrace imagination.

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...
Don't go anywhere CKY, I need to crash dramatically through your window and propose marriage and I don't want you throwing off my paradrop.
[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.

I hare to rain on your parade, but common Angels and Demons are a horrid idea since those creatures are meant to be big and splashy.

Things that are otherwise rare can be made more common if the set theme calls for it. Avacyn Restored did that a lot with Voice of the Provinces  , Seraph of Dawn  and that Demon reprint of Mass of Ghouls  .

That's very true. However, neither of the Angels is splashable. I guess that's what I was getting at.

Um, yes, but there is a difference between "creatures strong as Seraph of the Dawn at common can't be splashable" and "common Angels are a horrid idea."

I'm Autistic. Therefor, the filter between my brain and fingers isn't as strong as a neurotypical's. Thus, I may say one thing, the wrong thing, while trying to say something completely different. Mind you, I know what I'm trying to say and think everyone else will as well.

Urza block did it with Tormented Angel  .
Splashy commons aren't all that, um, common, tho. You generally make higher rarities either 1) better, 2) more complicated, 3) more broad wrt the color pie, or 4) bigger.
