I'm not pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work at home edition.

Okay, so today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite creature types, mirror.

So I'm going to talk about the history of mirror, where they came from, and I'm going to walk through the designs of all 38 mirror cards.

Actually, there's a 39th I will also talk about.

It's not technically a mirror, but it's mirror-related.

Okay, so where did Mir come from?

So, mere are these cute little artifact creatures that live on Mirden, now New Phrexia.

So they came about because we were making an artifact set.

And one of my favorite things at a time was gnomes,

where these little artifact creatures that I enjoyed.

And so when we were making the set, I wanted to put some gnomes in.

And Brady Dombermuth, who was the creative lead at the time, said,

Nomes don't make any sense.

And I was like, okay, Brady, I just, I want cute little artifact creatures.

They don't have to be gnomes, but I want cute little artifact creatures.

And so Brady and the creative team went off and came back with Mears.

So Mears are named after Mirmidons.

Mirmidons are from Greek mythology.

They were soldiers commanded by Achilles, I believe in the Iliad.

And I think the idea was they were little servants.

You know, they were, I think the idea when we made them was they were little, little sort of robots,

robot-like creatures.
