I'm pulling out the parking lot. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

I'd drop my son off a camp. Okay. So today, I'm going to talk about a record that I have made that I'm not too proud of.

So I believe it was during Mirrodin block that I earned this distinction.

Up until that point, Richard Garfield had made more banned and restricted cards than any other

designer. And I passed them in Mirrodin. We banned a bunch of cards in Miriden, many of which I made.

So anyway, so today I'm going to be

talking, and probably more than just today, because I've made a bunch. I'm going to be talking

about the banned and restricted cards that I had a hand in designing. Now, I should note that not

all of these I solely designed, some of these I only had a small role in, but I'm going to talk about all the

cards that have ever been banned or restricted that I've had a hand in and tell you the

stories of how they came to be. So that's the plan for this. Like I said, I believe this is more

than one podcast. But we shall see. So, and once again, I'm only talking about ones that I had some

hand in. There's lots of ones that existed in sets that I might have been there. But if I didn't

have a hand in it, I'm not going to talk about it. So there's some that other people have made

that I really didn't make. Okay, so we're going to start with Either Works Marvel from Mirren.

So it is an artifact, a legendary artifact that costs four.

It says whenever a permanent you control is put into a graveyard, you get an energy counter,

and then tap, pay six energy.

You look at the top six cards of your library, you may cast a card from among

them without paying its mana cost, and then you put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library

in a random order. Okay, so for starters, energy is my mechanic. Energy was originally made for

Mirrodin, original Mirrodin. But when I handed the set in, Bill thought I had too many things going on.
