I'm pulling out of my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time to have their drive to work.

Okay, so at MagicConn, Atlanta, I gave a talk about the 20 most influential magic expansions

of all time.

If you want to watch that speech, it is up on, I think, YouTube, I think.

So you can watch me give the speech with all the pictures. I made a lot of slides. But I always do a podcast version of the talk, which is a little bit different. So you can actually watch both or slash listen to both. So anyway, I'm going to go through the top 20, and I'm going to tell some of the stories will overlap what I told. I might give some details here.

They're different, so I try to make it a little bit different.

Okay, so number 20.

Oh, my caveat that I gave in the speech was these are the 20 most influential expansions,

A expansions, so not alpha, but I do acknowledge alpha as being obviously super influential.

And then the idea is what sets really influence the sets that followed it?

Being influential means innovation is pretty important, and it just sort of did something that then

influence other sets after it.

Obviously, this waits older sets, since the older sets had the easier chance to do something

for the very first time that becomes super important.

Anyway, number 20, Lord of the Rings, Tales of Middle Earth.

So Lord of the Rings is the most recent.

It came out in June of 2023. The lead vision designer

was Ben Hayes. The lead set designer was Glenn Jones. So the reason I picked this is it really

became the touchstone for how we do universes beyond.

And that's why I sort of picked it.
