Ideas for the Naya mechanic:

'

Idea #1:

This one sort of resembles the mechanic you suggest yourself ZendikariWol

Caretaker:

Goes on smaller creatures and has no innate effect.

Mechanic works:

Whenever you cast a creature spell with power or converted mana cost 5 or higher, you may return "the caretaker" to your hand. If you do effect.

Effect could be anything from reduction of mana cost, gaining life, draw cards based on number of creatures with Power 5+, search library for basic land, tunnel vision for a new creature/aura/enchantment.

Flavor: In the first Naya shard we had a lot of creatures with a similar feel. Godtoucher , Sunseed Nurturer , Drumhunter . The flavor on Caretaker would be that you call upon these smaller humanoids of Naya, and to more easily lure out or secure a better standing with the Nayan gargantuans, you have the Caretaker tend to the Gargantuan - by not being accessible to you.

It could be done with sacrifice instead, although sacrifice doesn't seem all that flavorful for a non-black effect. Exile could be another choice but in general that would require the Caretaker effects to be really strong to warrant using your early drops as cannon fodder for a bigger and splashier one.

Next is kinda in tow with the above;

Gargantuan:

Goes on big creatures with Naya's signature power 5+ template.

Mechanic works:

Whenever a creature with power less than 5 enters the battlefield,

Effect could be fight (the Gargantuan fights), gain keywords like Trample, Lifelink, bonus P/T, First Strike, +1/+1 counters.

You could link the mechanics directly to each other to lower the power level but it would also lose all out-of-block relevance by replacing the "creature with power less..." with "creature with Caretaker".

The Caretaker cost to bounce back to utilize would also fuel the Gargantuan effect by effectively giving you a small creature to cast again.

Flavor: When you first summon the gargantuan, you would likely want to use a Caretaker to ease the cost or grant the gargantuan some additional benefit. That symbolizes that the Caretaker is no longer accessible for you until you conjure it again. However the Gargantuan has been summoned and bringing the Caretaker afterwards makes sure the Gargantuan is tended to.

I may not be able to describe it properly here but I think you get what I'm trying to say.


Idea #2

Let a specific mechanic take a back seat and let Beast tribal be the Naya theme.

Naya is already made up of big powerful beasts. A tribal theme would allow more varied creatures and not just the gargantuans. Reprint Contested Cliffs and make a non-keyword mechanic that interacts with creatures that matches to a majority of the beasts.

Possibly make an enchantment version of Herald's Horn something like

Enchantment

When ___ enters the battlefield, choose a creature type.

Creature spells of the chosen type costs less to cast.

Whenever you cast a creature spell of the chosen type, you may look at the top 3 cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card of the chosen type and ...

either the effect is to put it into your hand or to put it on top of your library and the rest on the bottom. Either let it filter into gas or grant conditional card advantage.

Possibly it could be a modal version with exaggerated effects and maybe cost .

Something like

When ___ enters the battlefield choose a creature type and choose Lush or Hunt.

  • Lush - Creature spells of the chosen type costs 2 less mana of any combination of , and/or .

  • Hunt - Whenever you cast a creature spell of the chosen type, you may look at the top 7 cards of your library. You may reveal a creature of the chosen type and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library.

While it's more tempting to straight up make Beast synergistic cards, I think it would be better if you try to set it up with a choice where possible. It puts a strain on the flexibility of the mana costs of these cards, as low mana intense cards will likely bleed over into other color shards. That's not inherently a problem but it does make Naya as a stand alone shard weaker, because it may function better as a support for something else. In the lore Naya was said to be rich in mana, food and life. That would actually make a lot of sense if it was something the other shards wanted to get in on and exploit.

There absolutely should be Beast synergistic cards also but again when possible open up the possibilities.

If there are a few Naya centric cards that specifically says Beasts as the synergy, it leads newer players to perceive that as the best way to utilize the Naya mechanics. It may also teach them through more skilled players, that even though there is a pretty obvious choice, that choice may not be the best option. Going with the aforementioned enchantment, it may be way better to use that enchantment with a completely different tribe, like Elf.

We do need a something like

Sorcery

Look at the top 5 cards of your library. You may reveal a land card from among them and put it into your hand. If you control a Beast you may put it onto the battlefield instead. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.

PS I really hate the text formatting of TappedOut. It is so limiting and doesn't allow to make proper format that eases the reading, separation of texts.

Zimek on The 9 Gods of Naya

All of my suggestions are devoted to theme, which is obviously far more important than power level.

You definitely need this: Sigil of the Nayan Gods

Other strong choices:
Helm of the Gods
Godtoucher
Godsire
Godsend
Commune with the Gods
Anger of the Gods

No problem, i love putting together silly lists like this.

No problem, i love putting together silly lists like this.

I wasn't going for overtly LEWD exactly because a lot of the cards you are running are anything but. Im assuming thats just because you want it to at least pretend its competitive :).

Godtoucher has a suggestive name and art to match... not lewd but suggestive.

The Elvish Visionary Promo

Deathless Angel Promo

Realms Uncharted is suggestive

Ill keep my eyes peeled and let you know if anything else may work!!

C.H.O.C.O.L.A.T.E. on Mayael and her Fatties

Nice deck, I am making a Mayael EDH myself. Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are must haves in this deck, as well as Explosive Vegetation. You are trying to get Mayael's ability as soon as possible, so they are really helpful, as well as being EDH staples. Vagrant Plowbeasts i prefer over Godtoucher as they have similar effects. Yisan, the Wanderer Bard i believe would take way too long and way too much mana in order to become uselful. You should also definitely add Swiftfoot Boots and Illusionist's Bracers for your commander. You should also add is Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and Iona, Shield of Emeria but only if you want to be really mean. I'd suggest taking outPlated Crusher, Blunt the Assault, and War Flare partially because they are ultimately useless and this deck is made to get big creatures out rather than many creatures. +1 from me, though. Nice deck!
