I'm pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, so there's a series I do from time to time what I call Lessons Learned.

So I will talk about a product that I either led or co-led the design for and then talk about what I learned from that experience.

So I've done many, many sets and I believe last time I did this,

we did Ikoria. So that means we're up to Zendekar Rising. Okay, so Zendekar Rising, interestingly,

originally the first set in that block, so that year, Zendikar Rising, then it was Kaldheim, then it was Strick's Haven.

In the early planning of the year, that first slot actually was going to be Kaldheim, not Zendekar Rising.

But we decided, I think we decided before Vision started, but very, very close to

vision starting, we decided, or sorry, maybe before Exploratory, yeah, before Exploratory.

We decided to swap the two.

I think Zendikar was going to go second.

I don't remember all the reasons behind, but I wasn't going to swap the two. I think Zendikar was going to go second. I don't remember all the reasons behind.

But I wasn't going to do call time.

So I originally wasn't going to do the fall slot.

But when we swapped it, I think Ethan was interested in doing call time.

And so I ended up...

Ethan and I swapped, I think?

Like, I think the plan was Ethan was going to do call time as the fall set.

And then I was going to do Zendika Rising as the next set.

But anyway, so...

The set swapped early, before Exploratory.

They stepped early.
