0:00.0 | I'm not pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work at Home Edition. So I've been interviewing various members of the Council of Colors. So today I have Chris Mooney with white. Hey, Chris. Oh. Okay. So I will start with, basically what we've been doing is sort of looking at how we've been looking at the colors. |
0:24.0 | White is interesting that no color has had as much flux in the last couple years as white. |
0:30.8 | So we're going to talk a little bit about that and then talk about first up, I guess, let's talk a little bit about what has White been doing the last five years. |
0:38.0 | Like what has been, what has been White's major mission? |
0:42.3 | Right. So over the last few years, or several years ago, we sort of noticed that White was kind of lagging behind in a variety of different formats, some more than others. |
0:53.3 | But we definitely looked at white across |
0:55.3 | the spectrum and we looked for essentially sort of two different things that we wanted to do |
1:01.1 | with white. One was provide white some tools for certain kinds of effects that white should be |

1:28.3 | fun of white, could draw cards, but how should it draw cards? What are the ways that makes |
1:33.6 | card draw more white than just copying what other colors are doing? The other category was just |
1:39.5 | sort of a reinvigorating of some of the areas that white traditionally was the strongest at, |
1:48.0 | but over time, maybe other colors have started to encroach in the space. |
1:52.1 | And how can we make sure that white remains number one in the areas that it should be number one in? |
1:58.2 | A good example of that would be something like token making, |
2:00.9 | where tokens are very fun. |
2:02.6 | We've sort of allowed all colors to make tokens of a variety of rates. |
2:05.8 | But at some point we said, hey, white is the Army color. |
2:09.0 | It's the go-white color. |
