I don't like the proposed gamble mechanic because it's either ludicrously broken or something you regret doing. It's like taking storm and expanding it to an entire block mechanic.
Here's a crack at the wager mechanic, inspired by David Sirlin's Chess 2 stones mechanic:
Bullets
- At the beginning of your upkeep, you gain a bullet. You are encouraged to use poker chips to represent bullets.
- Any time you could cast a sorcery, you can give bullets to or take bullets from a consenting player.
- Whenever a creature you control blocks or becomes blocked by one or more creatures, if you have any bullets, you may initiate a showdown. You can showdown any number of times in one combat, one after the other.
- To showdown, you secretly wager one or more bullets, then the controller of those creatures wagers any number of bullets. Then you reveal the number of bullets you wagered.
- If you wagered more bullets, that player sacrifices all creatures blocking or blocked by your creature. Otherwise, you sacrifice your creature.
Then you can have cards that interact with bullets and so on. This version of the bullet mechanic encourages a focus on creature combat, but makes it more about bluffing than the power/toughness, which plays into the gambling and "guns equalize everything" theme. It also means that creatures will die a lot, which helps to break board stalls.
I love this idea. The gamble mechanic seems a little gimmicky, but so did conspiracies and look how well they turned out. The one problem I see is that I don't want this set limited to Commander. I originally thought that Conspiracy was for Standard, and I got so excited about the reprint of Brainstorm for my instant/sorcery deck...yeah.
Also, about the luck thing? I say we roll with it. Make as many luck cards as we want.
Then add luck manipulation and luck hate. Examples: Doublethink Instant If a card has a luck mechanic, you may choose the outcome. (A card with a luck mechanic involves rolling a die, flipping a coin, or any other method of producing random results to choose an outcome. You still have to flip the coin, even though it has no effect.) If he knows I know that he knows, then I know that he knows...
Cheat's Punishment Enchantment On each player's end step, if that player has won 2 coin flips in a row, Cheat's Punishment deals 5 damage to that player. Hang on a sec-he's dealing from the bottom of the deck!
Also, CKY? I love the new bullet mechanic. However, I do like the gamble idea as a concept. Not as a command zone thing, though...maybe it's an enchantment with a 0 cost and has our new wager keyword? Or maybe it could be like Planechase with the separate plane deck.

I have been entertaining a horrid little idea for some time now. Horrid in that it has been tremendously fun to think about, and yet I honestly have no clue whether it is a good idea or a bad idea.
The answer to that essentially depends on whether or not people around these parts would like it.
This actually seems like a nice chance to float that little thought balloon. I'd be very interested to get people's gut reactions - to the card itself, obviously, but also the bit of revealed information it implies.
{+2}: Spells your opponents cast this turn are countered. A spell's controller may pay to counter this effect for that spell. {0}: Each player returns a creature he or she controls to his or her hand. {-8}: You get an emblem which reads: "Any time you cast a spell from your hand, you may cast an additional copy of that spell without paying it's mana cost. If you do, you may choose different targets for that copy."
Loyalty: 2

I wondered from their time "away" that they mentioned in "Blood on the Tracks" if that's what you were thinking. As someone who has created a planeswalker set of twins, I feel badly about saying this, but I don't think it's a good idea. The likelihood of one set of twins both receiving the Spark is almost mathematically impossible. For us in the M:EM to have two sets of twin 'walkers, I think we might be pushing those odds a bit.
Like I said, I feel badly that some of my characters potentially interfere in other people getting to do what they want with their characters, and I won't absolutely veto it, of course. I feel a little like I'm just sort of saying "NO!, That's MY idea, you can't have it!" and stomping off to pout in a corner, so I hope it's not coming across that way. I'm just concerned about the implications.
Ilarion Vale was able to take his sister with him as he explored the multiverse. It could be a similar thing here. Maybe one of them has the Spark, and drags the other along, because they can't go anywhere without each other. There's no reason both of them would need the Spark for this to work.
That said, I don't know if it's something you necessarily SHOULD do, even if you can. I don't know if it would add anything to their characters to have them be 'walkers.

Don't feel bad about it! That's one of the reasons I asked the question, and I think it's a totally valid concern. Too many twins is probably a bad thing.
Since identical twins are, for the briefest of moments, the same single organism, my thought was that it might not stretch spark metaphysics as much, but I make zero claim to expertise on that subject.
And, again, to be clear, I don't have my heart set on this. It's just an idea which I've always found interesting, and while I've written things in such a way as to leave that door open, it's in no way essential that we ever walk through it.

Ok, so sorry I've been away! Busy weekend painting miniatures and all that. Sort of lost track of time. T_T
@OL:
Just because they're two separate people, and everyone assumes that they are twins, doesn't mean they actually ARE twins.
They already speak in tandem and have no individual personality as it is. Food for thought - maybe they aren't actually a separate entity at all.
@CKY: Bullets seems a bit... hmm... complex. I like the idea of making this a "gambling matters" set, and I really think we should run with that, but we should probably keep that on the cards - though you have given me a few good ideas...
If we decided to run proliferate, it may be a good idea to reintroduce luck counters. As Daedulus suggested, we could have cards that directly interact with coin flips or dice rolls. The key is to find a healthy way to negate luck, while still keeping it semi-random - people tend to hate losing to a coin toss.
The easiest way to manipulate luck in magic is to manipulate the deck.
All that being said, let's continue to brainstorm ideas for that.
Mechanic - Showdown (thanks to CKY for the cool name): Whenever you cast a card with Showdown, you may pay any amount of life. Then, each opponent may pay any amount of life. If you paid more life, you win the Showdown, and gain an effect. Example:
Three Duels at Dawn Sorcery As an additional cost to cast Three Duels at Dawn, sacrifice a creature. Destroy up to three target creatures. Showdown - If you win the Showdown, return the sacrificed creature to the battlefield tapped.
I believe the easiest thing to "wager" would be life. Given this fact, we can have the aristocracy faction focus a great deal on life gain, and have the oppressed faction focusing on getting additional mileage whenever they voluntary pay life. Examples:
Bank Note Enchantment When Bank Note enters the battlefield, gain 2 life. Whenever you gain life, put a charge counter on Bank Note. Sacrifice Bank Note: Gain 1 life for every charge counter on Bank Note.
Pain for Gain Enchantment Whenever you pay life, draw a card.
***
Those are my thoughts on our "clash" mechanic - it keeps it a little more controllable, but still lets you play mind games with your opponent.
As for our luck mechanics - outside of leylines and gemstone caver effects - we can most deal with luck/charge counters, methinks. Each different color can gain luck counters on various permanents for different things. For instance:
Lucky Find Sorcery Search your library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Put a luck counter on target permanent.
Lucky Break Sorcery Destroy target artifact. Lucky Break deals 2 damage to that artifact's controller. Put a luck counter on target permanent.
Lucky Save Sorcery Gain 6 life. Put a luck counter on target permanent.
Lucky Guess Sorcery Draw two cards, then shuffle one card from your hand into your library. Put a luck counter on target permanent.
Lucky Shot Sorcery Destroy target creature. Lose life equal to it's power. Put a luck counter on target permanent.
This allows us to interact with luck counters in a similar fashion that we do charge counters - but instead, the permanents that benefit from having luck counters don't start with those counters in play, or any way to generate luck counters themselves.
Outside, of course, lucky situations, like having them in your starting hand. Or maybe controlling a certain amount of luck counters. Like so:
Lucky Sevens Instant When you draw Luck Sevens, you may reveal it. If you do, and you have exactly seven luck counters among permanents you control, you may cast Luck Sevens without paying its mana cost.
Lucky Sevens deals 7 damage to up to seven target creatures or players.
@Moonbeam: Illarion Vale is a corner case. His special ability is to be able to bring along one passenger with him when he goes travelling. It's unique to the character.
Not gonna lie, I... kind of really like the fact that a LOT of the characters involved with Jakkard right now are non-walkers, and that sort of goes doubly for Hush-Hush who is one of the rarest things in Magic fiction: a weird, very unique, powerful spellcaster that isn't a 'walker.
That said, the fact that Hush-Hush is also kind of a single entity makes this feel more possible to me. Buuut the downside of that would be explaining more about Hush-Hush and to some extent I think the mystery of her/their nature shouldn't be tampered with too much.
I'm still not totally feeling the Gamble thing. I'm... honestly not sure why.
Maybe because while Conspiracies and Planechase work in-narrative, the Gambling cards feel more external to me? More like a game mechanic than a flavor mechanic?
(Also yes, Illarion is an outlier adn should not have been counted)
Done and done. Hush-Hush will stay where they belong, which is in the Waste. And they will continue to do what they do best, which is simultaneously warm my heart and creep me out.
I just hope people find some reasons to write about them. Because God do I love Hush-Hush.

I laughed so hard that I had to immediately get up and go to the back room because the customers were giving me strange looks.
@PostNegativity: Hey, can't agree with everything! I thought I had hit on something pretty cool with Showdown - what do you think of that mechanic?
While it does a good job at capturing the idea of gambling, I don't think it does a good job running parallel with gunfighting. That's one thing that I think you're just not going to be able to remove luck from because it is such an integral part of it. Sure, there's a lot of skill involved, but that last little edge of luck makes the world of difference.

As I think about it, you're kinda right. Gamble, while awesome, is kind of a game-style mechanic. You wouldn't set up a gambling table in the middle of a magic duel, would you? (Although maybe gambling would start a magic duel...) And now I'm noticing that this set seems to be a lot of "luck matters." You and your opponent betting life secretly for Showdown, luck counters, etc. Like I said, we need more luck manipulation. Just one thing about Showdown, though-betting life seems like a really bad idea. Esper control would promptly become the top deck, black and red would be almost completely abandoned, and nobody would be terribly happy. Maybe there could be luck counters-choose an amount from a permanent you control and bet those, your opponent bets, and then the reveal? That might work better.
Spoiler
I kind of agree about not pushing Hush-Hush as a planeswalker. Though they definitely need a card. Maybe something like:
Hush-Hush, the Quiet Ones [MR] Legendary Creature-Human Wizard Twins Haste, shroud When you cast Hush-Hush, the Quiet Ones, you may search your library for a card and exile it, then shuffle your library. , : You may play the spell exiled with Hush-Hush, the Quiet Ones if X was the exiled spell's mana cost. Then you may search your library for a card and exile it, then shuffle your library. : Untap Hush-Hush, the Quiet Ones. 2/2
I kind of tried to make it an even more powerful version of Elite Arcanist. What does everyone else think?

Since it seemed potentially useful, and since we probably ought to have this anyway, I have assembled a list of notable Jakkard natives.
The list includes people mentioned by name in Jakkard stories which are currently in the Archive. So the list will expand as more works get voted in (possibly as early as this week).
(Apologies in advance for whoever I accidentally left out.)
I didn't include planeswalkers or characters who already have dossiers on the Wiki.
Hopefully people may find something here which stirs the creative juices.
Keeper - this seems like the sort of thing which ought to go on the Wiki, but I held off for now in case we decide to implement a compact character infobox template at some point.

Well, Wild Card hadn't been included in there, but we do sincerely appreciate what you've done.
Btw, I was sort of hoping someone might pick up on it, but I don't think anyone did. I specifically named my card playing minotaur in Wild Card to pair with the one from All In.
Biggs and Wedge.
Also, and there is no reason for you to have known this, but there IS another legend that bears mentioning.
The... Oso Del Diablo!

I failed to notice (because my mind doesn't work so quickly sometimes) but YES that is basically where I pulled the name from.
100% 10/10 would reference again.
@OL: That was truly a delight to read, even if I already knew all the characters. Your succinct summaries were tragic (occasionally) and hilarious (mostly). I don't think I've ever read a series of character biographies I enjoyed quite as much as this.
