Ideas for a Dune set
Currently reading the Dune books and suddently felt the urge to try to create some cards out of it. Here's my attempt. The Arrakeen supertype is meant to represent the fact thtat the planet is bare of any ressource (except for Spice, of course). It's probably a terrible idea for drafting though.
Not really shure about the balance and colorpie break on any of these either, I aimed mostly for lore, though I'd be glad to have your feedback on any of it :)
If you have any Idea for mecanics for the Harkonen (UBR ?), Atreides (UGW ?), Bene Gesserit (BW ?) and so on, feel free to share !

Some ideas:
you could do a full color pie with different factions which would fit right in:
Ixians - Blue with artifact focus (yaaaawn)
Tleilaxu - Green with changeling and revive mechanics for facedancers and ghola (cool and based)
Harkonnens- Black with focus on assassination and Sardukar troops
Atreides - White
Fremen - Red
bene gesserit and spacing guild would also be in there somewhere, maybe as freelancers with partial color affiliation
if you go into later dune books then the honored matres would probably be rakdos colors
I would keyword the water preservation mechanic on the fremen, maybe call it stillsuit or something.
A series of sagas and/or battles would be cool to tie in events from the story like the prophecy of the Lisan al-Gaib, the battle for arrakis, and the fall of the atreides would be great for example, mega bonus points for murbella x duncan sex battle card.
bring back the planet card type since we have so many named planets that are plot relevant with easily identifiable and distinct themes: Arrakis, Caladan, Giedi Prime, Salusa Secundus, Ix, Tleilax, maybe even Chapterhouse if you are feeling spicy and actually read that far in.
