I'm pulling the driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time to have the drive to work.

Okay, so today is all about counters.

Not counter spells. That's a different thing.

Some reason we have words that mean multiple things in the game.

No, I'm talking about things that you use to mark something.

So a little history, we'll go back to the beginning of the game.

Back in Alpha, Richard made, I'm not sure what you want to say seven or eight cards.

I'll say eight.

So he made fungosaur.

Fungasaur was a creature.

Then whenever it got damaged, it got bigger.

And you used a plus one plus one counter to mark that it got bigger.

Rock Hydra was a hydra that you could spend manna and give it extra heads.

It lost heads when it got damaged, but you could give it extra heads and you could spend

mana, and the heads were represented with plus and plus one counters.

And then you had Sanger Vampire.

And Sanger Vampire would feast on things.

Whenever it killed something,

whenever it damaged something that died,

it would then get bigger.
