This podcast is another in my "Lessons Learned" series where I talk about design lessons from sets I led or co-led. This episode is about the design of Phyrexia: All Will Be One.

In this episode, I talk about how we design typal cards (i.e., cards that mechanically care about creature types).

What exactly is a lead designer responsible for? In this podcast, I walk through what the lead designers do during exploratory design, vision design, set design, and play design.

In this podcast, I talk about how we design monocolor themes for both Constructed and Limited.

In this podcast, I talk about how R&D uses the alphabet to design Magic cards. I walk through the alphabet, explaining how we use each letter.

In this podcast, I sit down with Ari Zirulnik to talk about how we name Magic sets.
