I'm pulling away from the curb because I dropped my son off at school. We all know what that

means. It's time for their drive to work. Okay, so today's podcast is based on an article I did

talking about the history of the two in one. So I guess I should start by saying, what is the two in one?

So the idea of a two and one is a card in which there are two cards on one card.

Maybe two cards in the same face, maybe one on one face, one on the other face.

But the idea is there's two distinct cards.

And the way I'm defining that is that each card has its own

name and maybe has its own art they don't always have their own art but the idea in that the card

represents sort of two unique cards um and that they have their own name and often their cost

and they're just two distinct things and we've done that a bunch their own name and often their cost, and they're just two distinct things.

And we've done that a bunch of different times.

And so I'm just sort of talking about the evolution of this

and sort of big picture.

Why did we make them? What are we doing?

Okay, so the story starts in Alpha.

Richard is making something called the Boones, nicknamed the Boones.

So the idea was, it was a cycle of instance that all cost a single colored mana and then gave you three of something.

The blue one drew you three cards. The black one gave you three black mana. The red one did three

damaged any target. And the green one was plus three plus three to target creature. Uh, the white one

was a little trickier. There just wasn't, there wasn't a white option that was quite as good as the

other ones. Obviously, people who know of the boons know that they're not really equal. The blue one is way more powerful than the others.

But anyway, he ended up making a card called Healing Sab.
