I'm not pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive-to-work,

coronavirus edition. Okay, so Kamagawa Neon Dynasty is coming out very soon, and I'm going to be

doing podcasts soon talking about how it got made and such. But before I do that, I wanted to take

a podcast to look back at all of the mechanics from Champions of Kamagawa Block

and sort of walk through them a little bit and kind of give my opinions on them and talk about them.

I've said this before.

I believe that Champions of Kamagawa Block is the weakest block mechanically.

I don't mean power level.

I just mean from a design standpoint. It's the block worth mechanically. I don't mean power level. I just mean from a design standpoint.

It's the block worth of design mechanically that I'm least happy with. There are individual

sets that I think were worse designs from early magic. But this is the whole block that I,

the block is very parasitic, meaning a lot of the mechanics require you to have the same mechanic to play.

We'll talk a little about that today.

But anyway, it was just, it wasn't ideal.

But one of the things about returning to it is it made us go back and look at it.

And one of the things i'll get into is

we had to figure out what exactly we wanted to bring back so today i'm going to look back at all

the old mechanics to sort of give my honest opinion on all the original champions of kamagawa

sort of um named mechanics although a few of them were more nicknames and names maybe.

Okay, so we start with Bushito.

When this creature blocks or becomes block, it gets plus one plus one until end of turn.

So, Bushido first actually showed up that mechanic on a card called Chubtoed all the way back in
