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

So today I've not one but two guests. So I've invited Eric Lauer and Ian Duke to talk about the set design of Dominaura United.

Hey guys.

Hey Mark. Hey Mark. Thanks for having us.

Okay, so why don't we start at the handoff?

So Eric, so basically what happened was Eric was Eric was in charge for the first part of set

design and Ian you were charged with the second part.

That's correct?

Yeah, that's right.

Okay, so Eric, we're going to start with you.

So we'll go chronologically here. Okay, so Ethan and the vision design team

make Dominar United and they hand it off to you.

So what was the first thing you did in set design?

The first thing was to try and get a sense of

what is this set about?

And so what should the mechanics be?

And reading through everything even worked on I concluded what this was about was really an analogy that this was to the set dominaria as invasion block was to alpha.

And so this should be advanced along those lines, changed some of the mechanics, added with Ethan's blessing,

off color kicker and domain, to give it more of that vibe.

And then also I decided we should go with a more classic limited structure where each color has its own identity.

So there's a cycle of giant common creatures,

which tell you what each color does.
