based on a speech that I gave at MagicCon Chicago where I talked about the top 20 mechanics

of all time. And there's a, there are a bunch of parameters.

I didn't do evergreens or things that weren't named,

But anyway, I talked about so far, everything up to the top six.

So we're up to number six.
