I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for their drive to work.

Okay, so today I'm going to talk about an expression that R&D uses, known as strictly better.

Also, a companion to that is strictly worse. So I'm going to explain what this term means.

I'm going to talk about when and how we use it.

I'm going to talk about why we even have the vocabulary

and it'll go into the history of sort of magic design and development

and talk about how it's played a role.

Okay, so let me start with defining the term.

What does Strictly Better mean?

So Strictly Better means if I have two cards and I am building a deck, limited, constructed, whatever,

I'm building a deck.

Let's say there's card A and card B.

Card A, if it's strictly better than card B,

means in every practical sense,

card A does everything Card B does,

but more, better, more efficiently.

Meaning that if I have a choice between putting card A or card B in my deck, I'm going to put card A in my deck basically every time.

There's some caveats.

I'll get to this in a second, but the real idea of Strictly Better is, look, if you look

at these two cards in every practical sense

card a is just better in almost every way than card B now there's a bunch of different ways we can

look at this so um i'm going to use lightning bolts as my example here for this this segment
