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

Okay, today is subgame day. So subgames, I'm going to talk about something that doesn't exist on very many cards.

I think technically there are four cards that have subgames and a fifth card that's kind of an honorary sub-game card, which I'll talk about.

So today we're talking about what sub-games are, why they came up, why we keep making them, but in everything you ever wanted to know about sub-games.

And do I have 30 minutes of topics on sub-games?

Well, obviously, if you're listening to this, they do.

But I, as I'm recording this, do not know whether or not you'll hear this because I don't know if I have 30 minutes on sub-games, but I'm going to try. Once you start getting into the 1,200-plus, I'm very eager on trying new topics I've never done before. So sometimes I pick things that, I don't know if I have 30 minutes,

but I'm going to give it my best effort. Okay, so let's start with the granddaddy of sub-games.

Well, what, I guess, let me first describe what a sub-game is. What a sub-game is, is you stop playing the current game of magic you are playing.

Usually you use, so far on every card, you use your library.

You leave that game aside.

Then you take your library and go start a brand new game with your library.

And then usually, or at least on the cards we made so far, the winner of the subgame

earns something in the main game, something that will help them in the main game.

That is the general idea, that you're going to stop playing the current game of magic

and play this little pocket game of magic, and then when you're finished with that, come back.

Now, designing subgames, so basically, I've designed all the subgames, save the very first one,

which Richard Garfield did, but we'll get to that in a second.

I'm a huge fan of subgames.

I like subgames.

They're fun.

They, as we'll discuss today, pretty much fall into un-territori. In fact, other
