I'm pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for the drive to work.

Okay, today's topic is retired mechanics.

So there are the things we've done in magic that we said, you know what, we're never doing that again.

There are a bunch of mechanics that we might never do again.

Today is not about things that um

if it ever look like my storm scale for example stuff like storm which is a 10 um every once in a while

a salt metal product maybe we make a storm card as possible um you know the i'm not talking about

mechanics that we don't make or maybe we don't make i'm talking about things that we've, we don't make often, or maybe we don't make.

I'm talking about things that we've said we're not making anymore.

That's what today's topic is.

And I'm going to walk through them all and explain why we're not doing them anymore.

There's two basic categories.

Category number one is,

there's just something about it that we don't think it makes sense to do.

Complication or rules interaction or just something that says, you know what, we're just not going to do this again.

Second category is where sometimes we make a mechanic and realize that we aired a little bit,

and we make a new mechanic that kind of fixes the mechanic.

And the old ones retired because if we're going to do it, we'll just do the new one, the fixed version.

So some of the retired mechanics are just, we've since made a better version of it.

And so the reason we'll never do that version is we've made a better version of it.
