I'm Ponaway Driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, so today, and for the next bunch of podcasts, I'm going to be talking about War of the Spark.

And I'm going to be going through the cards and talking about a lot of cool cards and how they got designed.

ability. So his original card was minus, I don't remember the numbers, but it was a minus ability

and put a plus one plus one counter and target creature. We thought that that's a nice overlap

in green and white you can put plus plus

little counters and things and a Johnny's whole shtick as a character is his magic
