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

Coronavirus edition. Okay, a couple weeks ago, I did my fourth in a series on what I call it, R&D vocabulary.

And so today I'm going to continue with number five of the series and do the rest of the article,

the latest article where I bring up things.

So if you don't know what I'm talking about, R&D uses a lot of lingo.

This whole series of podcasts, this is the fifth in the series called R&D vocabulary.

I just talk about different terms to use.

I explain them.

I talk about where some of the terms come from.

But anyway, it's just me talking about a lot of vocabulary we use. Some of this is official magic.

Some of this is sort of slingy. But anyway, let's get to it. So first is enabler. So that's the design

term we use when we talk about something that helps a certain strategy. So for example, a lot of times you have a mechanic or something or a theme in the set,

and you need cards that sort of enable that theme to happen.

So a good example of an enabler might be, I have cards that reward you when you discard a card,

madness or something.

And so the enablers are cards that let you

discard cards. Or, you know, maybe I have a mechanic that's all about attacking. An enabler might be

something that helps you attack or creates things that attack or, you know, enablers are just

cards that sort of help you do what the set wants you to do.

And when you're building a set, you need to not just build the things that are doing it,

but the things that are sort of happening or enabling those things.

Next, fire.
