Magic lead designer Mark "Maro" Rosewater has cast his Hall of Fame ballot. The voting process is in its final week of voting, meaning a flood of ballots are hitting the Internet airwaves. Rosewater, who also writes the "Making Magic" column for DailyMTG.com, announced his ballot on Twitter. In previous years he has published it in his article, repeatedly drawing criticism for voting for Mike Long, an infamous Pro Tour champion who is both loved and hated by members of the Pro Tour's old guard.

Mark's ballot:

-Anton Jonsson

-Mike Long

-Gabriel Nassif

-Chris Pikula

-Tomoharu Saito

Rosewater's ballot is particularly interesting for its conclusion of Chris Pikula in addition to the aforementioned Long. Pikula spent his early career on the Pro Tour actively campaigning to clean it up of cheating and was arch rivals with Long. Both of them sitting together at the same Hall of Fame luncheon would be quite a site indeed.
