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

Okay, so last time we were talking about banned and restricted cards that I had a hand in making,

because I have the record of having the most banned and restrictor cards that I've made, or helped make.

So we were up to D, I believe. So we're going to start with Dark Depths from Cold Snap.

So it's a legendary snowland.

Dark Deps enters a battlefield with 10 ice counters on it.

Three, remove an ice counter from Dark Deps.

When Dark Deps has no ice counters on it, sacrifice it.

If you do, create Merit Lage, a legendary 2020 black avatar creature token with flying

and indestructible. So one of the things that we did in Cold Snap, so the idea behind

Cold Snap was we wanted to do an extra set, we wanted a gimmick to it. The gimmick was it was the

lost Ice Age set found in a file cabinet or whatever.

And so we were trying to find things from the Ice Age story that we hadn't yet made into cards.

And one thing that's in the Ice Age story is Merritt Lage being frozen in ice.

This ancient creature.

And so we thought it would be fun to sort of make a card that played into that.

And the idea was, okay, it's trapped in the ice.

You know, if you can get it out of the ice, then it gets free.

And so the idea behind it essentially was it comes with ice counters on it and then you pay.

So essentially it requires you spending 30 mana over many turns to free it.

But there's some combos in magic.

The most common of which is there are some spells in magic, black mostly, that remove counters
