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

Okay, so one of my goals with this podcast is I want to do a podcast on every magic expansion released.

I've done a lot of them, but I've not done all of them. So I'm slowly working my way through.

So the next one, starting from the beginning,

that I haven't done yet is Mercadian Masks.

Mercadian Mask came out October 4th, 1999.

Code named Archimedes.

It is the first set in the Mercadian Mask Block, the large set.

It has 350 cards.

110 commons.

110 Uncommons.

110.

Rarely we had 110 sheets.

10 by 11 sheets at the time.

And the Mythic Rare was not a thing yet, so there's no Mythic Rarers in the set.

Its expansion symbol was a stylized mask because there's a mask theme of the name itself.

Even though it's spelled with a cue, which we'll get to,

it's referring to masks like you wear, I believe.

Okay, so this set, the lead designer of the set was Mike Elliott,

and the design team was Mike, Bill Rose, and myself.

The development team was led by Henry Stern and involved Henry, Mike Elliott, Robert Gucera, William Jockish, and myself.

The art director, two art directors, Dana Knudson and Ron Spears.
