I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means.

It's time for out their drive to work.

Okay, so today's topic is interesting.

I came up on my blog.

So back in the set future site, we printed a card called

Murraganda Petroglyphs.

And it was a card that gave a reward to vanilla creatures.

And so ever since that, people have wanted to, like, go to Murganda and have vanilla creature matters.

And I often say, you know, there's not a lot of design space there and leave it at that.

But today, I decided to write a little lengthy explanation.

And it dawned on me that as I was writing this, this make a good podcast because for those

that like magic design, this is going to be a really good example of all the sorts of issues

we have to deal with.

Because by explaining the problems of this thing, it'll show you a lot about our design

process. So I thought it'd be

interesting to say, hey, why is it so hard to do vanilla creature matters? So today I'm going to talk

all about that. Okay, so for starters, the idea, let me explain the idea. The idea is, vanilla

creature matters means I have cards that reward you for having vanilla creatures.

Hey, that's awesome.

That way it makes even vanilla creatures matter.

That's the idea.

And Murga-Petrich-Glass, I forget what it does, but like all vanilla creatures get plus two plus two or something.
