I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work.

Okay, today we're talking all things deciduous. Okay, so let me first define what I mean by

deciduous, for those that don't know. So in magic, we have what we call evergreen abilities,

stuff like flying, trample, first strike, things that every set can do.

Every set, not what can do, tends to do.

Every green, not every, every, every mechanic's in every set, but most sets.

And usually it's in the set.

So like flying, it'd be very odd for us to make a set and not have flying, or not have first strike,

or not have menace or whatever.

So there's a lot of things that are evergreen.

What deciduous means is any set has access to this, any set's allowed to use it, but it's

not something that we do all the time.

It's something we do usually, well, it can vary.

Some deciduous things we do often, but not every set, and some deciduous things we do on occasion.

But mostly what it means is that if you want to make use of this stuff, you kind of have free range.

You know, there are certain mechanics that I want to use.

I can use the mechanic, but I'm sort of bringing it back.

It's not something that we expect to show up with any frequency, you know.

So anyway, I did an article, I don't know, a month and a half, two months ago, where I talked about this.

And so today I'm going to talk about all the things I listed in the article,

and two things I missed in the article I'll put in here.

So I'm going to talk about sort of where these came from and how they ended up becoming deciduous.
