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

Okay, today, we are doing the fourth and I believe final part of Scourge. Scourge is the third set in the onslaught block following onslaught in Legions.

I spent the last three podcasts talking all about its design and many cards from it, and I'm not done.

So I got up to ours.

That's what we are.

So we are up to Raven Guild Initiate.

So Raven Guild Initiate is a blue card, class two and a blue, so three mana for a one-four wizard,

and it has the ability to morph, return a bird you control to your hand.

So, as I said last time, I talked about Brian and his team were experimenting with alternate morph costs.

So the idea was early on, morph just costs mana, and by the time you get to third set, it's like, well, what if you didn't have to spend

mana?

And there's some fun stuff because there's some great surprise morph moments when you can do things without mana.

Now, Brian and his team went a little too far.

I think if you look at Concertarcare, we definitely changed some stuff around so that Mor morph was a little more, didn't surprise

you quite so often in destructive ways.

There's what we call the five rule in concept of Arc here, where in order, if you were

going to morph up and be big enough that you will fight a two to and win, meaning you defeat

it and you don't die, then you cost at least five men to un-morph.

Now, there are the reveal stuff, so there are ways, like we experiment even in Kanzatarkir

with finding ways to unmorph without spending man, like we do here.

This card is a lot of fun, only cause unsumming something while it's fine as a cost, really can be built around.

So it's not a cost so that you're, you know, not only do you get to un-morph your creature,
