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

Okay, a little while ago, I did a series on mechanic evolution, where I went through the early

parts of magic, starting with Alpha, or Raven Knights, I don't know, I think I started with

Rabby Nights. And I went all through, up through, what's the last one I talked about? I think I started with the rabbi-nice. And I went all through, up through, what's the last one I

talked about? I think I talked about Fallen Empires. So what I did was for each case, I was talking

about, this whole talk is about sort of magic design evolution, design technology. Kind of what

did new sets add to the mix?

And so I'm kind of looking through the history of magic from a designer's perspective.

Anyway, the first one went really well, and people liked it.

So when people like something, I do it again.

So we're going to pick up.

So I left off at Ice Age.

So what we're going to do is we are going to start with Ice Age and go forward.

And I'm going to talk about sort of the evolutions.

What each set had to offer from a magic design technology sort of standpoint.

So we start with Ice Age.

So Ice Age was a pretty important set. So if you remember,

when Magic first hit it big, Richard realized that they were going to need more sets. So what

he did is he went and talked to his playtefters, and he had different teams design different sets.

So one of the teams he talked to is who we call the East Coast Playtefters,

Scaf Elias, Jim Lynn, Dave Petty, Chris Page,

and had them design a set.
