Pocket Realms Concept

This is a dumb little project I decided to start where I write about a little homebrew plane for mtg.

(credit: u/IAmTheClayman)

The plane functionally is this image as seen above. 32 realms which are separated by color identity. I plan to utilize cards from the game to expand upon the various realms.

There are a handful of rules I have for myself, related to the cards used, but I don't think they are interesting enough to explain unless prompted. But do be warned that they do arbitrarily exist.

Due to these rules, as new cards come out in the game, some realms may change over time.

I honestly don't know how much anyone will care to read or interact with this. This post is meant to be the super super intro post.

Welcome to the Epsilon Butterfly timeline.

first things first I do not own magic nor do I take any credit for the game. This blog has no intention of any copyright infringement and is purely fun fan content. now that's out of the way.

What is the Epsilon Butterfly?

Each timeline has a guardian time elemental. As its been showcased in 5th edition's Time Elemental. it appears the cannon timeline's elemental is a abstract semi-mechanical dragonfly, or possibly antlion.

In the Epsilon butterfly timeline it is exactly that. a simple fragile butterfly. All the time in this multiverse flows through this tiny ethereal butterfly, and such oftentimes it becomes a highly prized target by some ambitions individuals. We will cover the full ongoing story of the Epsilon Butterfly in farther posts. For now we continue.

What are the main Differences?

While the cannon story chugs forwards unyielding to me and free time to write this is bound to change. but for a small list of large differences

There is a large Artificial plane known as Calanfinty: its purpose is to suppress the growth of a Aether black hole known as "The Void" by siphoning trace amounts of Aether from worlds around the multiverse and feeding it to the void in the form of randomly generated strips of "planes".

On the world of Ravnica, A previously unmentioned district is very important to the overall well being of Ravnica as a whole. The 38th District.

During the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria the merfolk city of Slinn-Voda was completed by a device known as the Ichor Sylex which was crafted by a secondary group of phyrexians known as The Covenant of Dark Ichor lead by Morgimesh, The Dark Contractor.

A secondary Time Crisis happens directly after the Phyrexian invasion caused by a man known as The Prismatic Musician.

That's all I'll put for now. hopefully I will be able to weave these stories together to make my own universe of some worth.

My Goal

I hope to eventually have a series of stories, cards, and art to go alongside them. I also would just love to have people interested in my own little universe. I hope through this blog I can accomplish both. additionally i would eventually like my sets to be playable through table top simulator or cockatrice.

Feel free to join us over at

Here I will post full sets, as well as talk about my cards/lore. hop in, say hi, and feel free to brew some crackpot ideas. thank you for reading and I hope you find your way around.

I would like to hear more about the Jace bodyswap AU 👀

Asjhkkgkk glad to see some people were curious about that one!

Okay so in the book Agents of Artifice, which I totally recommend to any Jace fans who haven’t read it, Jace accidentally swaps bodies with his friend and partner Kallist Rhoka. Jace and Kallist don’t realize the swap has happened, mostly because they were nearly identical in the first place, and it isn’t until “Jace” in Kallist’s body is killed that they swap back, leaving Jace alive and Kallist…not so much. Rip king.

About a week ago I had the idea for a similarly accidental body swap between Jace and Vraska, which would have added stakes because they a) noticed it immediately (hard not to notice when you’re suddenly a completely different species) and b) Jace doesn’t know how to fix it without one of them dying. I also think if his telepathy was weaker in a different body it would make sense—but on the plus side, he can turn people to stone with his eyes no, which toootally isn’t going to be a problem for a man who’s scared of unintentionally hurting people with his magic even as a human.

Anyways I haven’t quite figured out designs yet but have a Vraska (in a Jace) wearing a suspiciously well fitting outfit she just happened to have

What if I presented a whole complicated Megaman Classic AU except I didn't give a SHRED of context

Ula, Emi, Kozi the False Gods

Card: Shrine of the Forsaken Gods

Credit: Daniel Ljunggren

The shortened names of three Eldrazi Titans, believed to be three gods...which they are analogous to in power funnily enough. They warp the world, minds, and life around them and those who witness their horrid spawn long enough will all go mad. Some forms of madness result in self-termination, others inane ramblings, and the final form is that of worship.

The werewolves and some humans ended up succumbing to the last, primarily due to only witnessing the brushes of the Titan's shadows against the plane. The werewolves succumbed out of desperation and hunger and were quickly conscripted wherever possible. Whenever a new lineage appeared on the realm, a few would splinter off out of curiosity, and subsequently warp and change into a visage of that lineage.

The human's faith however was not born of desperation, but fear, awe. These mighty creatures held a unilateral adaptation to avoid death in some manner. Something which was highly respected, and due to the unnatural and effective means employed by the Eldrazi, they became paragons of survival within these desolate wastelands...which were made all the harsher by the very beings they now worship.

They see the Remnant left by the True Eldrazi as lifelong armor, tools, and weapons, which they mold and shape by feeding it mana. The specific variety of remnant that they use is indicative of the god or gods they follow. In a usually literal sense, following in the wake of the Eldrazi as they migrate, though they aren't following the Eldrazi themselves, no, they follow the Howlpacks, the Eldrazi Werewolves. Rites of Passage include the cultivation of armor and/or armaments and slaying one of the Horrors that are created by the Howlpacks. Releasing the soul of one who did not survive as a consequence is a common belief. Those who have something to prove may seek to slay a member of the Howlpack itself (though they will be hunted in return upon success). Those who are great, or perhaps insane, seek to slay one of the Eldrazi themselves. A small vestige of god, the 'God's Titan' as it were, in return for what effectively amounts to bragging rights and universal respect across the realm. Even the Realmsoul seemed to have a strange reverence for any humans who could manage such a feat based on the descriptions of one such battle.

This may seem like a heretical action, killing your god, but for the faithful, there is no higher form of worship. Not only are you surviving the wasteland, you thrive more than the beings who make it, you are so capable of finding the resources required that you can simply remove their source. It is strange admittedly, but it is their belief.

They also have 'The Pilgrimage', where a believer(s) travels from their home ring, underground, to the Realmsoul. Trading information about their gods and their adversaries (the Howlpacks) to the Realmsoul for mana crystals, food, water, and occasionally clothing. The Realmsoul admitted to starting that tradition when the Realm was far smaller since its view of where the Eldrazi are is 'blurred'. A condition that has apparently only gotten worse overtime. One of these individuals or groups will go on this pilgrimage once every three or four months, though, as the distance has increased, so too has the time between the Pilgrimages.

Beyond those general beliefs, the right of passage, and the pilgrimage, they have few unified beliefs. Some believe in prayer, some believe in rituals such as regular fasting or sacrificing a portion of their food to the path of their god, and some believe in worship through regular warfare with the Howlpacks. They are scattered groups who only come together when pilgrimages align. And though conflicts of 'how' to worship can arise in these times, the Realmsoul is quick to prevent these situations from becoming violent. Primarily by way of threatening to give them less resources.

Ula is the god of Endurance

'The Titans of Ula tower over mountains, and when felled, they come back to walk again.'

Card: Deathless Behemoth

The Howlpacks that follow behind them are known as the Howlpacks of Corrupting Hunger. Hairless bodies of smooth flesh, ribs outside of their flesh, and featureless bone-like faceplates. Relentlessly hunting down any source of mana that they can sense. They possess one to three tentacle-like tails and long sharp claws. Their legs have smoothed, becoming difficult to truly identify them as such rather than as two more tails. It should be noted, that they are blind and deaf, but they have some way of 'sniffing out' mana, be it souls or crystals. Their conversion rate of human corpses to Eldrazi Horrors is abysmal, generally, they annihilate the corpses they feast upon rather than letting them change.

Emi is the goddess of Persistence

'The Titans of Emi do not seem to deserve the monicker, but they survive. Stabbed, Burned, Hacked, Flayed, they will continue. It will melt away, yet it will remain.'

Card: Eternal Scourge

The Howlpacks that follow behind them are known as the Howlpacks of Whispering Lies. Sineous bodies with patches of hair, they speak, sing, and whisper with many voices all at once. This sound changes the perception of any animal nearby, it makes them see things and hear things. As it turns out, it causes random activity within the brain of its victims, but it can focus the ability to seemingly disappear, much like a telepath could. Those with sufficient willpower can fight off this effect, albeit temporarily. Their conversion rate of human corpses to Eldrazi Horrors is nearly 100%, generally, they only consume the vocal cords of their victims, adding their voice to the choir.

Kozi is the god of Resilience

'The Titans of Kozi do not come back from death, they do not avoid pain, they simply refuse to die. They grow ever stronger, ever larger. They are what we hope to become, uncaring of the desolate reality around us.'

Card: Walker of the Wastes

The Howlpacks that follow behind them are known as the Howlpacks of a Thousand Witnesses. Carapace-encased bodies with an obsidian-like mantis blade on their forearms. They have eyes not on their heads but on their shoulders, hips, pecks, the small of their back, between their shoulder blades, on the sides of their elbows and knees, and the back of their three-fingered hands. Space around them distorts minorly as they move, which makes ranged weapons significantly less effective against them as well as creating strange reflections of the Horrors they had once created appear around them. Though they can harm an unwary hunter, they are still illusions, and disrupting them sufficiently can get rid of them.

Ravnica: The 38th District

Dimir

Despite its unassuming nature with few notable locations; The Dimid controlled districts are hubs of information and research. Littered with libraries on all subjects the dimir guild has expertly woven themselves into the 38th’s society; all the while they collect information and secretly pull the strings of not only the 38th, but Ravnica as a whole.The guildhall is known as The Underclock, where Mistini, the guild’s sphinx keeps a of nexus of Doomsday clocks for districts of interest. The four faces closest to Mistini’s chambers represent the 1st district, 10th district, the 38th district and a district whose identity is hidden, only two minutes till midnight. While the existence of the underclock is shrouded in mystery, high level dimir operatives oftentimes find themselves here during their missions, as it has become a hub of Dimir operations.

Moving on to the main civilian hub of the Dimir Guild, the Lamplight District. The district gets it’s monacor due to the Crescent Rock Prison Complex, This Azorius controlled Prison was constructed to shield the district from the sun. This effect has caused the district to be in a constant shadow, and subsequently develop a Horrible infestation of duskshell crawlers This compacted district houses most of Dimir’s civilian population. Don't be mistaken, although this is a tightly compacted civilian area doesn't mean Dimir doesn't have its operations held within plain sight. Libraries, stores, and even the birds themselves all work as spies keeping a close eye on anybody within the 38th. Under the surface of the lamplight district is a large portion of Undercity. This area was previously azorius territory and thus is a large network of bridges and waterways now known as The Waterlamp District. This has allowed the district to become quite the pain to traverse for those unfamiliar with its complex layout. The entirety of the Lamplight and Waterlamp districts are butted up against the golgari necro-district of Hangulg which emerged and swallowed a chunk of the district about thirty years ago. While the two gilded districts dont necessary get along, the larger enemy is the Azorius Senate who built a complex of prisons hovering over the districts. Until the fall of the Crescent Rock Prison Complex the two guilds have vowed to cooperate.
