Mirrodin was my favorite MtG setting. What was yours?

How would you start Mirrodin as a campaign setting?

How could I bring use of the actual cards into the game?

Too crazy of an idea?

My favorite was Masques, but I also think this new one is pretty cool. I don't play anymore, so I've only seen the art.


(Assumes 4e) 


I would align each power source with a color. I would then have the players act as agents in the scheme of whatever the main plot for that block was. 


I wouldn't bring actual cards into the game. 


Honestly it would work best as its own RPG, where players act as planeswalkers. Then you can bring cards in, and each player gets a deck in addition to a brief character sheet. It wouldn't be crazy to write and it might be one of my next tasks. 


Keep us posted how you go about this.
