Gameplay meant to mimic engine-builder "Euro" style games. Many build-around cards and small interactions meant to accrue value over time as opposed to swingy gameplay. Games are often decided by who can assemble and execute their engine the most efficiently. I want the feel of "multiplayer solitaire" that Euro games have while still emphasizing the interactive nature Magic excels at.

VERY low power to emphasize engine-building aspect. Lots of artifact/token synergies. Also some +1/+1 counter and graveyard synergies as well (to fit in the theme of "accruing value over time". Bombs can exist but will always require extra steps to be "bomby".

No defined archetypes for color pairs/trios. (its all mostly aristocrats anyways)

To give a feel for power level, some cards that have been cut over the years:

• Triarch Praetorian
• Ghirapur Aethergrid
• Shrapnel Blast
• Artifact lands (less for power, more for tracking artifact purposes)
• Most fliers bigger than 3/3 for 5
