I'm not pulling on my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for other drive-to-work, coronavirus edition.

Okay, guys, today I'm going to talk about the creature-type gods.

So the interesting thing is magic in the past definitely had characters that were godlike.

But it wasn't until Theros, the original Theros that we decided we were going to give, we were going to make God a creature type.

And basically what happened was when we were making Theros, one of the things we said is, okay, how do we take, you know,

we wanted to have a Greek mythology-inspired world,

but how do we take Greek mythology and blend it with magic in a way that made it feel very magic?

And the answer to that was, well, what if we had a pantheon of gods that were seen through the color wheel?

You know, like one of the things that's really cool when we make a world is you want to figure

out how the magic color pie fits into the world.

That it's the most iconic thing of magic.

That if you want a world to feel like magic, you have to figure out how the color pie

applies to it.

And the idea that the pantheum of gods was seen to the color pie felt really cool.

And we actually had a discussion, like, should they actually be gods? Should we actually

call them gods? Like I said, prior to Theros, we had had cards. I mean, like, for example,

you know, in the original Kamagawa, we had characters that you could have called gods.

And we had in, in Shadowmore, we had a cycle of things that you could have called God.

But we didn't.

It wasn't until Theris would say, but, you know, we said, okay, we're doing Greek mythology.
