What does the term "parasitic mechanic" actually mean?  Well, as with most things in this game, it's a double edged sword.  On one side, there's Energy - a mechanic that was so parasitic it got a Lay of the Land reprint banned.  On the other, Snow.  The jury's still out on it, but we doubt that Snow-Covered Forest is getting the axe any time soon.  This episode, Coleman and Jason take a look at how parasitic mechanics have fared throughout Standard history!
