I'm not pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for the drive-to-work at home edition.

Okay, so today I'm going to talk about a concept that I've yet to do a podcast on,

but it's become something we've been talking a lot on my blog,

which is iconics and characteristic creatures.

What are those?

Why do they exist?

I will talk about that today and walk through the story of what they are and what they

mean and why we care about them.

Okay, so when Alpha came out, Magic first came out back in 1993, there are a couple of cards that sort of drew attention to themselves.

White had a card called Sarah Angel, Red had a card called Shiven Dragon, and Black had both Sanger Vampire and Lord of the Pit.

Green also had a card called Force of Nature.

So what we found was there were definitely things that were sort of representative of the color in a cool way,

that they were sort of big and brash and bold,

and that they, that something about them really just sort of embodied the color.

So let me start with the chivin dragon.

So Richard Garfield so thought that the shiven dragon, the dragons were the embodiment of red

that he put him in red, even though red really wasn't a flying color per se.

It just, you know, they breathe fire.

They're wild.

You know, it has some of the chaotic nature.
