Welcome to DotA All-Stars MTG (DotA_MTG)

This is a fan-based magic set that tries to implement the gameplay and characters of popular Warcraft map DotA All-Stars.
What really just started out as a trip-out thing in the dota forums where there was a sudden flow of simulated heroes of DotA as magic cards, now came out as a more serious and analytical design work.

How do you merge the gameplay success of both DotA and Magic The Gathering?

Note: This is a 100% fan-based work, all trademarks are owned by whoever owns them. Hopefully though since some of the cards of magic does show great interest of designers of Magic on Warcraft, they would have a kind heart regarding our endeavor,as for the makers of DotA and the company behind Warcraft Blizzard, we hope that you would take this effort as our sign of appreciation for giving us such a great game.

Design Strategy:
This set is designed to be played only in the context of DotA All-Stars MTG. These cards do not mix well with normal Magic sets as their settings ex. power, toughness, casting, damage are specifically arranged to allow Dota Gameplay. Who would want their hero die by a simple Shock? Getz?

• Create cards that will augment and modify the base rules of magic to implement DotA gameplay.
• Create cards that will implement the hero's flavor in terms of usage in combat.
• Create cards that will implement the acquisition and effect of using items.
• Create cards that will simulate the situational randomness of events that transpire during a DotA game.

DotA All-Stars MTG needs your help.

• Magic the Gathering Experts with Dota experience: We need experts to tell whats the proper wording of card texts in the Magic syntax.
• Magic the Gathering Players with Dota experience: We need testers to provide feedback to fine tune the balance of the cards designed and if they fullfil the flavor they were designed for.
• DeviantArt People: Most of the card arts are from deviantart.com. We need to submit the cards created as art deviations from their original authors in deviantart, aside from that we need to get consent for using their art as the card images. If not approved the art should be changed. We need to submit these to the deviantart.com site to follow through with the concept of deviation.
