I'm pulling away from the curb because I brought my son off at school.

We all know what that means.

It's time for drive to work.

Okay, so last time I talked about, I started talking about the top 20 mechanics of all time.

It was based on a speech that I gave at Chicago Comic-Con.

Besides, I said, not Comic- con. Chicago Magicon.

I didn't give speeches at a Comic-Con.

Anyway, I made it up through 15.

So we're going to start today with 14, which is Raid.

So Raid, like number 15 was prowess, goes back to Khans of Tarquir.

So we were trying to come up with a mechanic for the Mardu.

The Mardu is red, white, black.

And we knew that we wanted, we knew that they were aggressive.

It was the aggressive, of the red and white are the most aggressive colors.

And then black is sort of in the middle.

So we knew that the Mardu wanted to be the aggressive tribe.

And one of the themes of Khamza Tarkir, sorry, is that all the clans are tied to combat.

It was a very combat-oriented set. So we were trying to figure out how do we

reward you for attacking? And we looked at a whole bunch of things. We could give you attack triggers.

We could give you saboteur abilities, meaning when you deal damage, something happens.

We could care to end or turn if you're tapped.

There are a lot of different things we look through.
