Mechanics
Fallen Empires introduced a tribal theme that would later be revisited in Onslaught. Each color had two main creature types, as well as cards that benefit from controlling creatures of those types. Another theme introduced was color wars; specifically, each color making war on itself, with two major tribes for each color. A number of Fallen Empires cards also made heavy usage of counters and tokens.
| Color | Tribes |
|---|---|
| Black | Order of the Ebon Hand and Thrulls |
| Blue | (Vodalian) Merfolk and Homarid |
| Green | Elves and Thallid |
| Red | Dwarves and Goblins/Orcs |
| White | Icatia's Order of Leitbur and Farrelite Cult |

Famous quotes containing the word mechanics:
“It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“the moderate Aristotelian city
Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
