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

So as you all know, I'm using my home time to talk to lots of people. And today I have Corey Bowen talking about Kamagawa Neon Dynasty Commander.

Hey, Corey. Hi, Mark. How's it going? Going good? So, uh, okay, so I've, I've spent a bunch

of podcasts talking about the making of the main set, but this is the first podcast to talk about

the commander decks. So let's start from the very beginning. What, how do you guys even

decide what, what decks we're going to make in a product?

Remember for this sets, we had a few different options that we were looking at.

And so I remember feeling pretty happy or confident that we were just going to do like a ninjas and samurai thing here.

But for one reason or another, I think Chris said that samurai was harder to build at a pre-con level.
