I'm pulling out of the parking lot. We all know what that means. It's time another drive to work.

And I took my son to camp. Okay, so today, um, so one of the things that we have to do all the time in design is what I call tweaks, which is, look, so one of the big things about making magic is,

really what we're trying to do is most of the time, the vast majority of what we do is the same game.

You know, probably, I don't know, 80% or something of anyone's set is mostly the same, you know, there's a

four-fifths of any set probably is just the same as any other set, that there's a lot of basic

overlaps or a lot of certain effects happen at certain rarities and certain colors, that there's

a certain sort of staples to the way the game functions. Now, that 20%, that one-fifth, you can make a lot different by change. You don't have to

change a lot. You know, you can change a little to change a lot, one of my sayings. So you don't

need to change much. And the fact that we change maybe 20% is a huge deal that makes sets

feel really different from one another. But the reality is

that when you're building a set, that more of what you're doing is sort of the status quo than it is

reinventing the wheel or doing something brand new. Yes, there's new stuff. Yeah, you tend to build around the new stuff,

and you tend to pick old stuff that reinforces the new stuff,

but a lot of what you do is old stuff.

So, one of the issues in general is, like, there are certain effects we do all the time.

So, for example, in green common, I'm going to have a giant growth.

I'm going to, for one or two mana, I'm going to, as an instant, usually instant, sometimes

sorcery, I'm going to make your creature bigger for the turn.

I'm just going to do that.

That's something green does.

That's something you're always going to see.

So the idea essentially is, while we
