Tesla: Blueprint

Over the past few weeks we’ve generated a truly astounding number of potential mechanics and subthemes for Tesla. However, a bunch of good ideas do not a Magic set make. Now it’s time for us to really sit down and hammer out what it is we want from Tesla. It’s time to pick our theme.

Tesla: Mechanical Engineering

It’s been a productive week for Tesla! Between our thematic explorations and the most recent Weekend Art Challenge  we’ve generated a ton of ideas. I don’t have room to go over all of them, but there were some definite common threads. The plan is to identify them so we can find their best executions and fit them together in a cohesive theme.
