| 0:00.0 | I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time from the drive to work. |
| 0:06.1 | Okay, so I thought I'd do something a little bit different. So for a head-to-head that I did a while back, |
| 0:13.2 | with the help of April King, who some you might know is Cube April, I got a list of |
| 0:19.0 | the top 50 words that had been used in card names. |
| 0:26.1 | Now, for the head-to-head, I took out all the little sort of articles and things and the creature types |
| 0:32.1 | and just did words that were, you know, not little mini words and not creatures. |

| 1:46.1 | And it is of. |
| 1:47.6 | Yes, very exciting. |
| 1:50.7 | I think we have a lot of odds because we just love doing... One of the things I think we realize about fantasy names in some ways is blink of blank |
