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

Okay, so today is another in my lessons learned series. This is where I take a set that I led or co-led,

and I walk through the lessons that I learned. Some positive, some negative. I learned. Every set I do you learn from.

And so I walk through. I use this series to sort of be a retrospective to see what exactly

I've learned about that particular set, things I learned along the way.

So today's set, I'm up to Murders at Carlov Manor, aka Polo.

81 commons, 100 uncommon, 70 rars, 20 mythics, 15 basic lands.

The set was co-led, or vision design, was co-led

by me and Mark Gottlieb. The set, the team include Annie Sardellis, Ethan Fleischer, Eric

Lauer, Doug Byer, Dan Musser, Chris Mooney, Daniel Jue, and Michelle Roberson.

And then the set design was co-led by Gottlieb and Andrew Brown.

So Gottlieb kind of led the middle portion.

He led the end of vision and the beginning of set design, essentially.

And then also on the development team was Eric Lauer, Yanni Skolnik, Jadine Klemperins,

Daniel Holt, Eric Englehard, Chris Kvartek, Jeremy Geist, Cameron Williams, and Aaron Sorrells.

Okay, so there are many lessons to be learned from Murders and Cardle of Manor.

It is not...

other than aftermath, this is probably one of the lower points

as far as the audience reaction to it.

For starters, just as a perfect example, the name had many problems.
