This Mechanic Created A New Way To Design Magic: The Gathering Cards
In this episode, we talk about the mechanic Threshold and it's lasting impact on the design of Magic the Gathering. Threshold was released in Odyssey block in 2001 and created what are known as barometer mechanics or mechanics that measure something for an effect. From Metalcraft, Battalion, Hellbent, and may others, threshold created a new class of mechanics for designers to keep in their toolbox.
