I actually ended up quite proud of most of the designs I came up with in this cycle. It was tricky, because you have to select abilities that make the card feel like a unified whole, and when you're spread out across the color wheel like this, that can be a challenge. Also, hybrid mana in restrictive in itself because you have to find abilities common to the two halves of the mana. On top of all that, coming up with a design each day simply compounds the difficulty. Though, now, I compile the designs here, for your perusal.
As I made these cards, my brain was coming up with some of the backstory of the world, and how these legends interact with each other. I'll give some greater details on that in another post. A few entry details are that there are four Giants, brothers to each other: Balaghi, Glavun, Okhinas, and Muthro, two of whom are dead. There are two gods (both with non-white color identity): Quoulm and Threma, with Quoulm being an artifact god and Threma being a dinosaur god. Also, Kamla and Gariza have a bit of a history. Then there's a loose connection between Kalamala, Ordhruk, Weugoara, Yisenda, and Brig.
