Tesla Design Challenge 082916: Double Time

Hi everybody! Last week, I uploaded a complete commons/uncommons playtest version of Tesla to PlaneSculptors.net. Nonetheless, though, we have a lot left to do. We still need not only rares and mythics, but also to slot in the other DFC cards for uncommon, replacing some cards already in the file. So let's get on that, then! This week, the challenge will revolve around filling in these slots!

EDIT: New art is available on the WotC page! We can use this for our designs.

Designers, your challenge this week is to not only begin designing DFCs for uncommon, but also rares and mythics. 

Do note, at uncommon, we already have all the Revolution DFCs we need. The goal now is to begin designing other flavorful DFCs for uncommon. When you think 'steampunk set, you might think DFCS themed around invention and progress', things 'upgrading', or being 'developed', definitely leaves a lot of room for DFC designs. In addition, we can attempt to explore flavor and design space that Innistrad sets have not had the chance to.

At rare and mythic, we do want a rare for each color pair, and we want a mythic planeswalker for Chandra and for 'Vaen', a villainous planeswalker who supports the Consulate and is at least {W}{U}, and possibly {W}{U}{B}. Legendary creatures in our set include Siv Katari, a {U}{R} artificer and leader of the Rebellion, and Baral, a {W}{U}{B} antagonist of Chandra's, who was horribly burnt when Chandra planeswalked and now has risen in the ranks for his devotion to the crusade against natural mages in Kaladesh. No longer a lieutenant, he is now the right-hand man of Vaen. Lastly, we have an undetermined third planeswalker - with Gideon and Nissa being Chandra's closest companions in the Gatewatch, they're a good choice, but Jace could serve as a nice foil to Chandra.

When designing uncommon DFCs and rares and mythics, think 'flavor homeruns' first and foremost. What are some concepts you think need to be in a top-down set based on Kaladesh? What are some aspects of the steampunk genre, or the Indian inspiration, that simply must be present in our set? Design those cards first.

You should also play to your strengths. What archetypes in Tesla have you enjoyed? Design some cards to support it. If you're skilled at Constructed and want more cards for it, design powerful cards aimed at Constructed. If you're a Johnny who likes build-around uncommons, make one of your DFC designs just that. If you're a Timmy and you feel we need more ramp targets for Recharge, design them. And so on.

In addition, there will be DFCs at rare and mythic. So feel free to design DFCs for these rarities as well!

I'll be porting over the current updated playtest skeleton to the Tesla Multiverse today, so that will soon be able to serve as a reference for which uncommons you can role-wise 'replace' with a DFC. For now, feel free to use the PlaneSculptors gallery.
