From The Cursed Land, part of the set up is that, as punishment Malvos, who feeds off of mana, is stranded on a mana-poor plane. His race takes hundreds of years to die of starvation, and Malvos dreams of escaping the plane in the meantime.

A black saga chronicling the destruction of Minamo, School at Water's Edge, probably with hand destruction (for the burning of the scrolls there), creature destruction (for the slaughter of the residents), and finally transforming into the All-Consuming Oni of Chaos.

Not sure how best to represent this one from it's two short stories, but probably transforms into a better Ayami.

Literally just Reach through Mists, Peer through Depths, Sift through Sands, transforming into Towazu, the Unspeakable, a creature that would probably mill in some way (to show you going insane).

A black green saga that transforms into a Iname that returns to the battlefield on it's saga side when it dies.

The story of Liliana accidentally cursing her brother, having her spark ignite and Josu eventually killing the whole family (roughly speaking). Not sure how you'd express that mechanically, but IIRC it's something they wanted to include in Dominaria but had to cut. Definitely should be .

The poem that was written for Mirage and Visions and is quoted in several pieces of flavour text. It's about the impossible relationship of two lovers who - like night and day - can never be together, so I'd say having two enemy colours in its cost to symbolise that opposition would be appropriate, even though it's about love.

Another in-universe text that's quoted in flavour text. It's Serra's doctrine/philosophy/believes in the form of a song with more than 1.000 cantos that is still sung by worshippers of Serra to this day. Definitely .

The seven city-states of Oneah were a splendid civilisation that was destroyed by a horde of goblins not too long before the Phyrexian Invasion. We learn more about it in the novel Ashes of the Sun. I suppose a design that involves red Goblin tokens and perhaps white Soldier or Citizen tokens and possibly land destruction would be appropriate, so I'd put this in .

Tetsuo Umezawa defeating Nicol Bolas on the meditation plane and smashing his body in the imperial shrine with the Hammer of Bogardan.

Lord Ith being captured by Mairsil, the Pretender, Ith being trapped in Barl's Cage, Ith being freed with a big bang.

The druid Greensleeves gathering an army and going on a crusade against all wizards who abuse their power and tyrannise the populace. Might be .

Serra giving up her spark (and her life) to infuse the land of Sursi with her power. The Cathedral of Serra was built in the place where she was buried. Would definitely be a card.

A representation of the Dark Age between The Antiquities War and the Time of Ice. would feel like a good colour for this. Both The Time of Ice and The Time of Dark are in-universe texts that you can learn more about here: https://pokeinthe.io/2018/03/29/lore-of ... attlemage/

The story of Fallen Empires. The Fall of Sarpadia also happens to be one of the in-universe texts you can read about on the site I linked above.

A short story of the same name in which the goblin Dochyel improves the Rundvelt goblins' rock sleds by developing a new model that can carry two goblin raiders instead of one. Should be very and involve Goblin tokens, and perhaps Vehicles or something.
