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

And I dropped my daughter off at her internship.

Okay. So last time we talked, I started talking all about Erza's destiny. But I didn't finish.

So today I will continue. So where did I leave off? I left off I was in C. So covetous dragon.

So covetous dragon costs four in a red. So five total. One of which is red. It's a six, five dragon. It flies, of course.

And if you control no artifacts, you sacrifice it.

So this was part of a three-card cycle. I'll actually talk about all three of them as we get to them.

This one cared about artifacts and wanted to have artifacts. And I always talk about how the goal of Erzosauga was to be an enchantment block, yet it's always perceived as an artifact block.

Well, here's one of the things contributing to that.

This was really good in an artifact deck. In fact, so Covetish Dragon, the idea we played around with was we like the idea of, hey, here's a dragon, he loves artifacts, as long as his artifacts

around, he's happy, he's cheaper, but if you don't have artifacts, he goes away.

So the famous story with Coverage Dragon took place at 99, the 99 World Championship in Yokohama.

So Marco Bloom, who probably is best known for being on Phoenix Foundation, which was a pro-tore team that involved Kaibuda, Dirk Babarowski, and Marco Bloom,

and they won two years in a row.

And they were the dominant team for a little while.

They were all very good. Anyway, Marco Bloom was the German national champion in 1999.

That is the same year, by the way, that Kai Buda would go on to win the world championship.

Kai at the time, by the way, was somewhat unknown.

I mean, he had done well in Europe and a lot of the European Grand Prix.

So the people that kind of were in the know were where he was.

But he was not yet, you know, Kai, Buddha that he would later become

when he won seven pro tours in a very short period of time.
