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

Okay, so today it's time to talk Dominaria.

Note that I'm going to be talking about the design, not getting into cards. I'll probably do cards at a different time.

For those that are regular listeners in my show, note that the cards take a lot of prep, but design does not.

So today we're talking Dominaria design.

Okay, so first, let me set the ground a little bit.

So Dominaria was the very first vision design team.

I will get into that as we talk about this.

In fact, being the first vision design team matters because it didn't start as the first

vision design team.

It turned into the first vision design team.

I'll talk about that.

Okay, let's talk about the people involved.

So I obviously led the vision design.

Ethan Fleischer, the winner of the second great designer search.

Ethan led the exploratory design and then was on the team.

Gavin Verhe was what I call my strong second, the person who was keeping the file.

I think that's the first time Gavin had done that.

Aaron Forsyth, who runs Magic R&D, the senior director of Magic R&D, I believe his title.

Aaron doesn't get to work on sets a lot anymore, but every once in a while he does.

Usually maybe like once a year he'll do something, and this was the one he wanted to work on. It in a while he does. Usually maybe like once a year, he'll do something.

And this was the one he wanted to work on.
