0:00.0	I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work, coronavirus edition.
0:06.0	Okay, so a while back in my blog, people from time to time would ask me how likely something was to return to a standard legal set, a premier set.
0:17.0	And I started something called the Storm Scale.
0:20.0	Storm being something that I didn't think was very likely would return to, at least to a standard set. And I started something called the Storm Scale. Storm being something that I didn't think was very likely would return to, at least to a
0:23.9	standard set. So the storm scale, the way it works is it's 1 to 10.
0:29.2	One, here's how I describe it. One is, we'll definitely see again, most likely in the next set,
0:34.3	it's evergreen usually. So like flying is a good example.
0:42.8	Level two is we'll definitely see again, but not necessarily right away. That's more of what we call deciduous, like hybrid mana. Three is we'll most likely do again probably many times. Some of that
0:50.2	would be flashback or cycling. Not evergreen, not deciduous, but some of we do a lot.
0:55.9	Four will be, we'll most likely do again, but they have issues that make them less of a guarantee.

1:05.0	like cycling.
1:06.5	Number five is, we need to find the right place to bring it back, but I'm optimistic.
1:10.9	So, example, there might be mantris.
1:13.2	It's like, okay, I'm pretty sure we'll bring it back, but it has to have the right place to work.
1:17.2	Six means we need to find the right place to bring it back, but I'm a little less optimistic.
1:21.4	Something like that would be like ninjitsu, which is, okay, maybe in the right circumstance it could come back, but it needs
1:29.4	a little more specific circumstance. Level seven is it's unlikely to return, but possible if the
1:35.8	right environment came along. Something like split second. Like, okay, it needs the right
1:41.5	environment to be there, but maybe we could bring it back.
1:47.8	Eight is it's unlikely to return, but possible if the stars align.
1:49.8	I think I put madness there.
