I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to the drive to work at home edition.

So today we're going to talk Bloomberg Play Design, and I have J.D. and Clomparans with me to talk all about it.

Hey, Jadeen.

Hey, Mark, how's it going?

Okay, so I think we're going to do is start with the mechanics that cover all the animals, and then we'll talk with the individual animals.

How does that sound?

Okay, so let's start with offspring.

How challenging from a play design standpoint is offspring?

You know, not really that hard.

It's mostly a kicker variant.

It's got lots of knobs, so it's pretty

easy to get the right cost on it. The most challenging part about it from our perspective is that

it's just fundamentally getting two of the same thing, which can be a lot more powerful than having

one of it, and in a lot of ways, lot less fun just kind of repetitive etc but there's

some really cool dreams to fulfill having access to your effect kind of even if you lose one of your

creatures is really cool so we have a lot to work with pretty easy mechanic for us okay let's talk

gift how hard now gifts is something a little bit newer right yeah gift is pretty new it's novel it's

super sweet um the hardest part of for it for us is that uh in competitive 60 card magic
