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

Okay, so today is part three in my three-part series. Top 20 most influential designs.

So so far I did, starting from number 20, Mineslaver, Form of the Dragon, and Johnny's Pride maid,

Ganti Lord of Luxury,

ball lightning, factor fiction, mistress factory, a chroma angel of raft, shocklands, panharmonicon,

platinum angel, misform altubis, and Doran the siege tower. Which brings us to number seven,

the 2011 Titans. So this is from Corset 2011. And for those that somehow have not listened to the first two

episodes of this podcast, this is a talk I did in Chicago, Magic Con Chicago, 2025, talking about

the 20 most influential designs, cards that were a big hit when they came out.

Players really liked them. They did something new and different, and we, because of that,

started making a lot of cards based on them. So that is the criteria. Okay, so the Titans,

for each of these, I'm talking about who designed them. So Aaron Forsyth designed the Titans.

So the idea was Aaron started with he wanted to make a mythic rare cycle in Corset 2011.

And not just a mythic rare cycle, a mythic rare cycle of creatures.

So his inspiration was he decided that the word Titan, while Magic had used the word,

we hadn't really, we hadn't sort of like, we hadn't done anything exciting with it.

You know, we made a few Titans, but that in pop culture, like Clash of the Titans,

like Titans, he felt like really have some cachet that in pop culture, like clash of the Titans, like Titans, he felt like

really have some cachet from a pop culture standpoint, and that magic never really made them

as exciting as they could be.

So he was excited by, I'm going to make a cycle of Titans.

That's what he was going to do.
