I'm pulling away from the curb. We know what that means. It's time another drive to work.

And man, I dropped my son off at school today. He had doctors my middle. Okay, so for today,

I'm going to do another in my series called Lessons Learned. So this is a series I started long ago,

where I started talking about sets that I led and what I learned about them, what I learned

having done the set.

And so originally I was just running through sets really quickly, and I finally realized

that I actually learned quite a bit from every set that I've done, and so I've slowed it

down a little bit.

So today we're going to be talking about one set rather than many, many sets.

So the one set we're talking about today is Gate Crash,

because the last time I did this, I talked about Inistrade and Dark Ascension.

So I'm up to the next set that I led, Gate Crash.

So Gate Crash is interesting, for starters.

First off, it's the first time I ever co-led a set.

So let me explain what that means.

So I had done Dark Ascension,

and then I was planning, for the first time, normally I do the fall sets, or for a long time I was doing the fall sets. But Ken Nagel had really done a really good job, and I felt it was time

for Ken to try his hand at a large set. And so I gave him return to Raphneka. I thought that was a really good job, and I felt it was time for Ken to try his hand at a large set.

And so I gave him return to Ravnikah.

I thought that was a really good first set for him to do, the first large set, because it had

some structure that came with it, so it wasn't starting from scratch.

So I felt like it was a good starter, large set to begin with.
