I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT IT! Doctor Who is coming to Magic: The Gathering, with four Commander decks spanning the show's nearly 60-year history. I was the lead designer, and worked with an incredible design team of Whovians and the BBC to create this. It's a dream come true.

I am amused: In Magic, you can't truly go infinite. You have to pick a number. So if someone gains "infinite" life, you can ask for the number - a googol, or whatever. These 3 cards will still kill them. Unless they use scientific notation, they can't name a big enough number.

My mom recently got a job as a teacher. She just told me that when parents come to her asking for ways to help kids connect, she always suggests Magic. "It was one of the best things to ever happen to my son... The way the room just accepts you: that's Magic." 😭😭😭 #wotcstaff

PSA: If a card has both enters and leaves triggers, you can remove it in response so leaves happens first. So, by bouncing Fiend Hunter with the exile on the stack, you exile the target forever! We fixed this on many new cards with "until", but works on many others: #wotcstaff

Booster Tutor is a card players enjoy a lot in casual games. If we made a Booster Tutor effect on a commander (imagine it's at 5+ mana), how would that make you feel? #wotcstaff

"On this credit card, there's a field for additional information." "...What kind of additional information?" "You know, anything you think is important. Most people use it to describe their business... But really, whatever you want." Me:

Often (especially as men) we're taught to not say we love our friends. To interact in facts and needs and Twitter dunks, and let love be presumed. Tell your friends you care about them. You're proud of them. You appreciate them. We only have so much time. It makes life brighter.
