Stormlight MTG set

[Elite01]

Hey everyone, I am brainstorming what an MTG x Stormlight set would be. 

I am trying to think in broad strokes what mechanics/keywords the set would be built into the set instead of focusing on what colors each character falls into.

Here are the mechanics or keywords I like so far

Storm (hehe) 

forecast, 

transmute, 

Some kind of Level up feature to mimic swearing ideals

Disguise

maybe-battle cry, Mentor/training, squad

I think some kind of Highstorm mechanic would be interesting, but I am not sure how to implement it 

Infuse - you have to pay a certain amount of mana to keep things going like shardplate and fabrials. There’s an existing mechanic like this in mtg that’s barely used

Say the words - fufill certain requirements then get certain benefits maybe transform cards, like the “solve a case” mechanic from murders of karlov manor

Fused obviously have a reincarnation mechanic that focuses on creating parshendi tokens so they can bring back their fused. What should it be called? Desolation? 

Any other interesting mechanics that would match the stormlight archive? 

Or any ideas what a set would look like? What colors would focus on what etc?

I feel like highstorm would be like a special card that would make it so you can place down an extra mana per turn or something, let you untap mana during your turn or something like that

With the destructive potential of the Highstorms I think they should be a UB Boardwipe.

 

Do you guys think the orders would be guild pairs or would they all be universally White/Green and Something?

 

Would the Parsh be more Red for freedom or Black for conquest?

 

Edit: Added Green in post.

I’ve been working through it and I think odiums forces are red black, I think k they would have a mechanic like Emerge that lets you sacrifice tokens to get your fused back on the battlefield.

 

it might be a little over designed but I’m thinking a ”Highstorm” mechanic where some cards create a token and when there are 10 tokens damage is dealt to all untapped creatures to match how unsheltered characters are put in danger by the storm.

I think the broad spectrum of powers represented within the factions of Stormlight make it unlikely that any large group, like Alethi or Singers, would wind up assigned a color. The Radiant Orders are pretty well distributed across philosophies and abilities. An Edgedancer would probably be Green/White for growing plants, and healing and supporting the little guy, where a Lightweaver seems all Blue, illusions and transformations, and a Skybreaker would probably be White/Black for their rigidity, legalism, secrecy, and ruthlessness.

Alright I appreciate the help, I made a youtube video with some custom cards and mechanics if people want to take a look https://youtu.be/aJ228s2mSxA
