I'm pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for another drive to work.

Okay.

So in the recent past, I talked about onslaught and legions.

So I'm going to finish up and talk about the third set in the onslaught block.

Scourge.

Okay, so what I'll do, as always is, I'll start by talking generally about the set,

and then I'll get into talking some card-by-card stories. Okay, so Scourge came out. May 26, 2003.

It was the 29th expansion for Magic. It had 143 cards, 44 common, 44 uncommon, 55 rare.

143 was a normal size at the time of a small set.

The previous set, Legion, actually, it had 145, which confused a lot of people.

But the reason for that was, because we were doing all creatures, we tended to need it full cycles.

So we had 45, 45, 5555 instead of 44, 44, 55.

Normally the odd of cards got to be lands or artifacts.

But being in all creatures, that was a little tougher to do, and we didn't want to have

so many artifact creatures, so we changed the, we changed around the things a little bit.

Anyway, this set was led by Brian Tinsman.

The design team was him and Worth Warth Warpard.

Worth, Wilport, for those who might not know,

currently is the person in charge of Magic Online.

He was an R&D once upon a time.
