I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive-to-work.

Coronavirus edition. Okay, so today, and by today, I don't mean the day I'm recording this,

but the day you are listening to this, which is October 30th, 2020, is my 25th anniversary

working at Wizards. Um, 25 years. So I I thought today I would use my 30-ish minutes

to go through my entire time at Wizards to talk about all the various different things I've done.

I'm not going to hate them all, but I'll do the best I can and give you a glimpse of the many

things that I had done. Okay, so in 1990, so in 1995, October 30th, 1995, I show up at Wizards.

I want to talk about things as they got released, even though that obviously I worked on them

ahead of time and the order I worked on them might not be exactly, but it's a little easier

to talk about release things. So the first thing that I worked on that actually happened was not even a product

release. It was the ProTor. So in February of 1996 was the first ProTor in New York City. I had worked

with Scaf Elias, whose brainchild the Protor was. I had asked if I could be involved. I was officially

made the liaison from R&D to the Pro Tour, and I worked very closely with Scaf.

And the first eight years of the Pro Tour, I went to almost all the Pro Tours.

I ran the feature matches. I did all the, on the last day, I did commentary in the very beginning, but then I produced and ran the video stuff and the commentary. I didn't do the commentary, but I oversaw it.

I produced it for the first eight years of the ProTor's existence. The first set I worked on,

which came out in 1996, was alliances. I was one of 13 developers on that set. Everybody who

was in our magic R&D, or just in R&D at the time,

Homeland the previous year had done really badly,

and Magic had a big gap before the next set came out,

and we wanted to make sure it was really good,

so everybody worked on that.
