Greetings. Last year I created this project, but then soon after I deleted my Reddit account due to various issues. Now my friends have talked me into doing another full set project, this time based on Amphoreus, and so even though I have no desire to spend any prolonged period of time on Reddit, I figured I'd create a burner account just to share my creations with the world. Once the project is fully done it will end up on the main HSR sub, but in the meantime I figured you guys would enjoy seeing a sneak peek of Dan Heng-related cards... Although, his situation in this set is a bit atypical.

You see, if you count Cyrene there are 14 Heirs. Four of them, alongside Zandar, get to be the designated commanders of this set, representing enemy color pairs (Zandar for blue/red, Mydei for red/white, Phainon for white/black, Castorice for black/green, and Tribbie for green/blue). Five of them get to be monocolor legendaries, one per color (Aglaea for white, Hyacine for green, Cipher for red, Cerydra for black, and Anaxa for blue). And then there are the remaining five who, in my vision, would each represent an ally color pair... But because this set is about enemy color pairs, these remaining five cannot be directly represented, I.E. get a card that depicts them as legendary bicolor creatures. So instead I made a point to indirectly represent them through a handful of cards scattered across their intended colors, so as to convey their color identity and what playstyle they'd ideally be about, without directly representing them and while still working well with the commanders who do get to play with these colors. It was a very difficult, but also very challenging and stimulating, way of designing a set, and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

In this context Dan Heng would have been the green and red Heir, and the cards pertaining to him were designed accordingly, although the vast majority of them ended up landing in green. Anyway, enjoy!
