Everyone in this thread is confined to quarters until further notice. #WotCstaff

Real alert: the cheating perks are still active and the same people will continue to draw the same cards in the same order every game, because they're not drawing, they're picking them.
But don't worry: the #WotCStaff will deny it as they have been so for almost a decade; hence, spend money!!🖕 😂🖕

This week's second "Drive to Work" podcast (#1390) answers a question I get all the time, "Will Magic ever run out of design space?": share.transistor.fm/s/7f69f937 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

This week's first "Drive to Work" podcast (#1389) talks about how early design sets up all the teams that follow it: share.transistor.fm/s/a0c4e896 audio.transistor.fm/m/shows/2145... #mtgdtw #WotCStaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

What ten card cycle in Dragon's Maze was neither lands, nor artifacts, nor gold cards?

#WotCStaff

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

The three-word phrase is "win the game" and the land was Maze's End.

#WotCStaff

Last night, when our opponent swung out for what seemed like a billion damage, we were in a desperate situation...until THIS card saved our table. We erupted in laughter knowing that this moment was one we wouldn't forget. #wotcstaff

Crashing this. #WotCstaff

Seeing this panel listing for MagicCon: Atlanta still feels so unreal. Just one month away and I get to give the world a glimpse into what I’ve been working on for the last year. I’m so excited! #WotCStaff

Sorry, this one slipped through and I didn’t notice. Yeah, zero targets is fine. “Any number” includes zero. The rules stating each target must receive at least 1 damage apply only if there are targets. #WotCstaff

Today's #mtgtrivia question:

There's a three word phrase that has appeared on over sixty cards, but only once on a land. That card is in Dragon's Maze. What's the card and what's the three word phrase?

#WotCStaff

Answer to previous #mtgtrivia question:

All sets were the first design lead by a Great Designer Search winner. (Dragon's Maze - Alexis Janson, Journey into Nyx - Ethan Fleischer, The Brothers' War - Ari Nieh)

#WotCStaff, natch.

I don’t like feeling this salty online when I could be a) making digital Magic cool or b) drafting.

On the recent Trans Lifelink stream someone donated in exchange for a story about Sarinth Greatwurm, which I failed to deliver. Looking back, it was concepted as the grown up Wurm and friend-of-Wurm from these other two cards! The story didn't translate to card art in practice. #WotCStaff #MTGBro

@latenightseth.bsky.social My name is Mark Rosewater. I’m the Head Designer for Magic: The Gathering. I hear Seth is learning to play Magic with his son. If he ever wants some help learning how to play, I’d be glad to lend a hand. I’m a big fan of the show. #WotCStaff

* That date is subject to 5 additionally available 6-month extensions of time, if / as needed…

Now I don't know if Hasbro and Wizards / #wotcstaff may yet wish to request a further extension of time or file a divisional TM application…

No changes in almost all formats means we’re doing a format health check-in on WeeklyMTG today (in about 3 hours on twitch.tv/magic). Drop your questions here for our experts to answer! See you soon. #wotcstaff
