Today I am joined by Mark Rosewater, Head Designer of Magic: The Gathering to discuss Magic: The Gathering in the time of pandemic. What is Wizards of the Coast doing to help local game stores survive this crisis? How important are local game stores and tabletop (paper) Magic to Wizards of the Coast? How soon and in what form will Magic Fests return? Just HOW is WotC making Magic cards, designing new sets and products, when everyone is stuck at home? These questions and more.

Thank you Mark Rosewater and the Professor for doing this interview. Yes, we (the community) needed someone official to come out to say this in an interview just like this.

I am very happy to hear that Mark too believes that tabletop is the core of Mtg. Awesome!

Why are people so mean to mark, he's so fun and animated. I feel that he truly cares about the game

Headphones in a conversation with MaRo is a test of bravery

Does Mark wear a t-shirt with a poison-counter symbol on it, while talking about the pandemic?

Man, the Professor has really become a juggernaut in the MtG world.

I know we rant about a lot of things WOTC does, but it makes me happy Mark & his team are trying to keep the social interaction alive during this

How can you tell in your EDH playgroup that there's a pandemic going on?

As someone who (sadly) just doesn't like playing Magic (or any other card game) digitally (I get bored when not sitting in front of a real person holding real cards), MaRo's rant about them not abandoning paper Magic was really, really good to hear.

Thank you Mark for all of your hard work and concern. Thanks for showing up for the interview and sharing with us.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is how INVALUABLE being face to face with a friend is compared to calling them on Zoom. Paper magic = human interaction, and that is priceless.

My LGS had been holding FNM over discord, with different voice and text chats for MTGA and MTGO. We will survive!

I just started playing MTG, and went to my first FNM right before the pandemic closed everything down. Although I play a lot of MTG Arena, it's NOTHING like how much fun I had playing paper magic with real humans in front of me. Can't wait to get back to it!
