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

Okay guys, I got a good topic today. Today we're talking squirrels. Okay, so for those

that don't know, I've been intricately linked with squirrels and magic. So today, I'm going to talk

you through the whole story from the very beginning to modern day.

Okay. So this story goes all the way back to Mirage. So for those that don't know the timeline,

I started to work on magic. I came in the middle of alliances. So Mirage would be the first

set that I worked on from beginning to end, on the development team.

I was not yet doing design.

But like alliances, I was there.

It was a giant team.

I was involved and I did things.

But Mirage is the first time where it was a smaller development team.

I think there was four of us.

And so I played a much,

much bigger role. So anyway, our story begins with a card called Waiting in the Weeds. So it was

a sorcery in Mirage, crossed one green green, three man a total, two of which were green,

and it said, each player creates one one green cat creature token for each untapped force they control.

But here's a secret.

The original plan we made the card was it made squirrels.

Now, I don't think I made the original card.

I think the original card was made by the team that made Mirage.

So Bill Rose, Joel Mick, Howard Collenberg, Elliot Siegel, Don Felice, Charlie Catino.
