We asked for your input, and you gave it! Magic Lead Designer Mark "Maro" Rosewater sat down with our own Bill Stark to tackle some tough questions from TheStarkingtonPost.com audience. We also discussed Mark's 15 years at Wizards working with Magic, leaving a mark on the game, and what it's all meant to him. Plus how R&D thinks, what's coming up for Magic, and more.
