Okay, I'm leaving my garage, so we know what that means.

It's another episode of Drive to Work.

Okay, it's about time.

It's time I finally talked about the design of Ravenica.

It seems only apropos.

Okay, so let us go back to the time of Ravenica.

So remember, I had just become head designer in the middle of the Kamagawa block.

And so, I mean, I didn't have any control of the Kamagawa block.

It was kind of, it was a freight train in motion, and I just try to do the best I could to finish it. But Radnick was the first set that not only was an elite designer, but also I was the head designer.

So it's the first block I really had total control over.

And a big thing of mine, one of my big missions, when I became head designer, was what I called block planning,

which is to think about all the sets in a block as a cohesive

whole rather than just do something, do some more, do some more maybe with a twist.

It's kind of our old school way of doing things. And I want to do a little more planning.

So, let's see how it played out. So we knew going in that it was going to be a multicolored set.

Invasion had gone over very well.

And we knew of all our themes, the one that we'd revisit the quickest, was going to be multicolor.

Because both, it's a very widespread design.

I mean, as design goes, it's pretty open-ended.

There's a lot of options. I mean, there's some restrictions design and gold cards's pretty open-ended. There's a lot of options.

I mean, there's some restrictions design and gold cards, which I hopefully I'll talk to it

about today.
