Magic: the Gathering Mafia was a game designed and hosted by DarthMask based on Magic: the Gathering universe (non-canon story).
It began on September 19, 2011 and ended in a Planeswalker Alliance, White, and Blue factions win in N5 (September 29, 2011).
Game Mechanics[]
This is a 7 Faction game with 5 equal Factions caught in a roundabout outliving WinCon circle and two opposing Factions (that loosely resemble the Goodie vs Baddie Mafia paradigm).
Rules[]
- All colored Planeswalker factions have an NK that only works on the colors in their Wincon. An unsuccessful NK is not shown in the nightpost.
- All colored Planeswalker factions have BTSC as long as they both remain alive and a part of their Planeswalker faction.
- Any colored Planeswalker faction that completes its wincon wins the game and is immediately converted to the Planeswalker Alliance (Except for Nicol Bolas and Sarkhan Vol). This means some players can technically “win” twice.
- SOME SECRET ABILITIES NOT MENTIONED
FAQ:
- OOP: All actions take place at the same time. If a loop occurs, Block takes precedence over Trap and Colored factions take precedence over Phyrexian.
- Kills are NOT blocking.
- Game ends when either the Planeswalker Alliance or Phyrexians accomplish their wincon
- The following are shown in the nightpost: Successful Kills, Blocks, Traps, Saves, and Recruits (just states that a recruit was made...not the role or player).
- Redirects, spies, Disrupts, and all unsuccessful actions are hidden.
Role Description[]
White-Aligned Planeswalkers (Wincon: destroy Black and Red factions)
- Elspeth Tirel: Can save a target each night (including self, but never same target twice in a row unless less than 5 players remain).
- Venser: Can block a target each night.
Blue-Aligned Planeswalkers (Wincon: destroy Red and Green factions)
- Tezzeret: Hates Jace Beleren, but is temporarily allied with him. Can use his immense puzzle-solving skills to break through the highest magical securities. (Spy faction)
- Jace Beleren: Also known as “the Mind Sculptor”. Can redirect a player to another target each night.
Black-Aligned Planeswalkers (Wincon: destroy Green and White factions)
- Liliana Vess: Is a necromancer of immense power. Can bring a person back from death to learn their role.
- Nicol Bolas: Cannot be recruited to the Planeswalker Alliance. May trap a player each night.
Red-Aligned Planeswalkers (Wincon: destroy White and Blue factions)
- Chandra Nalaar: Impulsive, always flinging fire around and not thinking first. Can kill each night.
- Sarkhan Vol: Is a dragon-worshipper. Is loyal beyond reason to Nicol Bolas, therefore he cannot be recruited to the Planeswalker Alliance. Once per night he may attempt to RID Nicol Bolas. If successful Sarkhan becomes Black-Aligned as well as Red-Aligned and can win with both factions.
Green-Aligned Planeswalkers (Wincon: destroy Blue and Black factions)
- Garruk Wildspeaker: Is a hunter of mighty prowess. Can track a player to learn of their actions the previous night.
- Glissa Sunseeker: Is an elven summoner of great power. Can RID kill once per night. She is also easily persuaded to believe lies, so she is the only Planeswalker able to be recruited by the Phyrexians.
Planeswalker Alliance (Wincon: Destroy Phyrexians, No BTSC)
- Urza (colorless): Leader of the Planeswalker alliance. Can recruit one player each night to the alliance (Phyrexians CANNOT be recruited to the Planeswalker Alliance ... all are immune). Cannot be killed while Karn is alive.
- Karn (colorless): The silver golem. Protects his creator Urza with his life. If Urza would be killed, Karn dies instead.
Phyrexians (Wincon: Destroy Planeswalker Alliance, No BTSC)
- Elesh Norn (White): Is obsessed with bringing all things into order under his religion, regardless of how that comes about. Can kill each night.
- Jin-Gitaxias (Blue): Can trap a player each night and learn their role through torture.
- Sheoldred (Black): Has spies throughout the Multiverse. Can learn the role of a player once each night. Also gets a chance to RID recruit Glissa once each night.
- Urubrask (Red): Can send his goblins to chase a player all night, preventing them from acting.
- Vorinclex (Green): Can cause chaos on a plane, disrupting the BTSC of a faction for a night and a day once each night (never same faction twice).

Host's Summary[]
He was able to keep the drowning Phyrexians afloat with a few well-placed kills and if not for the inactivity of Segul (Jin-Gitaxias) and the outing of his role he could have pulled the Phyrexians to victory.

Story |
---|
After the plane of Mirrodin fell, the Planeswalker Alliance began to fall apart as each faction argued over which Phyrexian faction to destroy first. The White-aligned planeswalkers wanted to conquer the Red and Black factions, the Blue wished to undermine the Red and Green factions, the Black wished to take out their sworn enemies Green and White, the Red wished to focus their fire on the White and Blue, and the Green felt that the biggest threats were the Blue and Black.
For some reason there was, along the line, a loss of targeting...instead of focusing on the Phyrexians, they decided to translate their faction targets onto each other. This lead to the utter destruction of many planes (by Planeswalker and Phyrexian alike). We now step foot into that war...will some Planeswalkers finally see reason? Or will the Phyrexians conquer all? |
Night 1 |
---|
The war continued raging between the planeswalkers...unchecked by any and heedless of the threat among them.
Venser found his target on the plane of Dominaria. As he stealthily approached, he saw the identifying marks on darth nox, proving his suspicions of guilt. Nox was found later, completely encased in metal...he would never move again...or so he thought. When Venser returned to meet up with Elspeth, he found someone that shouldn’t be in their base. Shadow7 later found herself with a massive headache and no memory of what happened that night. Nicol Bolas was elated at the prospect of destroying Phyrexian and Planeswalker alike. He happened, entirely by chance, on Akriti while she was eating lunch. Using his black magics, he trapped her in a timeline not of her own. He knew she would be a long time in getting out. Glissa, while searching the trees of Dominaria for any sign of planeswalker tampering, suddenly happened on curr3nt. She could see his aura of power and knew who he was. Before curr3nt turned around he was dead. Urza wanted to be furious at the young and stupid planeswalkers fighting each other over petty things, but he knew he had to remain calm. He approached one with his reasonable arguments and soon had the planeswalker crying over such wicked deeds. The planeswalker vowed to never be so reckless again. Urabrask was ready to move. The Red mana flowing through his veins made his impulsiveness and free will flourish and disregard the order of his leaders. But, when he finally found a suitable target, Shadow7 was already knocked out. He flicked her nose for good measure (just to make certain she was oblivious to the world), then left. Near the end of the night, the metal statue Venser had made out of darth nox suddenly got up and inexplicably walked away. A few seconds of loud crushing left a pile of metal on the ground and darth nox unscathed. |
Day 1 |
---|
After much debate and deliberation it was determined that Vineetrika would die to satisfy the bloodlust of all.
"No!" Shouted Yuli. "This one shall not die today! I shall stand in her place." As Karn was placed on the execution platform, Elspeth Tirel suddenly waved her hands and Karn was nowhere to be found. "I do not hold with the killing of this one...kill him if you can find him!" As nobody could find Yuli, none was to die that day. |
Night 2 |
---|
Nothing could stop the furious planeswalkers, they would not be persuaded to give up their false quests of destruction.
Venser was still not persuaded that he was going to the right place, but since he found who he was looking for at the plane of Esper he supposed Elspeth did indeed have her sources straight. Auramyna was found at the end of the night bound to a metal boulder in the wastelands of Esper screaming for vengeance. Elspeth, however, was still not convinced that darth nox was unkillable. She decided to try her own method of doom. As she approached darth nox she let loose a stream of white fire which incinerates those with hatred in their hearts. darth nox’s ashes were left in a pile. Chandra Nalaar let the rage of her inner fire blaze forth as she met and destroyed KlueMaster in her fiery trap of doom. KlueMaster would never be getting back up. Sarkhan, on the back of his ancient hellkite, circled over araver like a hawk circles his prey. Sarkhan chuckled at the glorious look of fear on the face of his prey as he ordered his hellkite in for the kill. Araver didn’t stand a chance. Elesh Norn, the grand Cenobite, was tired of the play-acting of her Phyrexian allies. It was time for her to step forward into the light of her own making and that of the Father of Machines. But, when she found her target, Araver was already dead. This caused her no end of rage and she locked herself in her annex for the night. Urabrask also continued to move in on the Planeswalkers. He found Yuli and sent a horde of Goblins after him. Yuli wasn’t able to shake his pursuers until daybreak. Darth nox, however, was found quite alive at the end of the night. |
Day 2 |
---|
The meeting of powers gathered on the plane of Llanowar to discuss who would pay the price for the blood spilt.
Several names were called and akaslickster, Auramyna and Darth Nox were all called to account for deeds they may or may not have committed. Darth Nox was acquitted and, after a show of hands, Auramyna was sentenced to die for the atrocities committed by all. As they led Auramyna to the gallows, she begged for mercy...but nobody paid her mind as they screamed for blood. Just before the trapdoor dropped, in a last-ditch effort to save herself she let her facade drop...but too late. Glissa Sunseeker was left to dance in the wind as the mob went home |
Night 3 |
---|
The spiral of death and violence continued on as spurred by the vicious Phyrexians and the misguided planeswalkers.
Venser was tired of seeing darth nox get off scot free after being killed. So he decided to try a different approach. He snuck up behind nox and hit him over the back of the head. He was knocked out for the night. Chandra Nalaar was still angry at the world...but that was nothing new. Her rage found a target for her and her flames of inner fury left nothing of Nana7 but ashes. Jace Beleren was not a killer at heart, but he realized as well as any that in order to maintain control he had to eliminate threats to his life. Shadow7 stood in his way...literally...she was blocking his route through to the bathroom and his life depended on reaching it in time. Without another thought he summoned an illusory bear...but with his mind on other matters accidentally made the bear real. He later came back and realized his mistake, but it was too late for Shadow7...there was not much left of her. Elesh Norn was again furious at the delay in Phyrexian domination. With this anger, she hunted down and tore the flesh from the bones of Yuli. Though her target was not the one she wanted, she knew that to get through to her real target, Vineetrika, Yuli had to die. No more would this one stand in her way. The White faction of planeswalkers, after having seen the destruction of its enemies realized its folly too late. All of its members swore to defeat the Phyrexian invasion and joined with the Planeswalker Alliance. |
Day 3 |
---|
This had gone far enough. The Planeswalkers were mad about the losses in their ranks...someone would pay. sparrowhawk and fox were put up against one another to determine would would die this day, but before the jury could come to a decision an angry mob of players pushed darth nox to the forefront. "He shall die! He shall die!" shouted the crowd. Nox stood, beaten and forlorn. He didn't even have a chance to speak before 5 lightning bolts hit him. Urabrask was no more. |
Night 4 |
---|
The planeswalkers were, slowly but surely, starting to realize the threat of the Phyrexian invasion.
Venser, now finished with his misguided attack on his fellow planeswalkers set out to find and defeat the enemies of the Alliance. He found sparrowhawk sitting in a field of grass on Bant. He found it quite easy to form shackles from the ground and pin sparrowhawk until the night was over. Tezzeret was ready this time. Jace had taken out a member of their enemies, so he would prove that Jace was no better than him. He found Limey and used an Etherium spear to puncture his heart. Limey was dead before he hit the floor. Garruk was on the prowl along with his favorite packleaders. He suddenly caught a scent of one who was unwelcome on Llanowar. He stalked his prey and finally, with a lightning swift charge, he and his pack tore the flesh from the bones of akaslickster. He was beyond any saving and wouldn’t live to see 5 more minutes. Chandra Nalaar, still angry, searched for another target for her newest fire spells. She came upon the only mage powerful enough to be of any worth...but before she could cast anything, she realized Limey was already dead. She spit on his corpse before turning away to continue her practice. After the chaotic events of the night, the planeswalkers dedicated to Blue mana realized that they had annihilated many who could have been their closest allies. This brought change to their hearts and they swore to aid the Planeswalker Alliance in destroying the Phyrexians. |
Day 4 |
---|
With her identity outed for all to see...it was an obvious choice. Sheoldred (AKA Inawordyes) was left, transformed into shapeless muck. |
Night 5 |
---|
Chandra Nalaar was finally ready to exact the final blow for good. As sparrowhawk went up in flames and Segul was killed by Aetheric powers of the planesguide since he wasnt contributing the Planeswalkers let out a cheer! The phyrexians had been vanquished!
Congratulations to Planeswalker Alliance, White, and Blue factions for your victory...roles and such will be up shortly. |
