There seems to be something universal in sharing news through the format of something you love. (It was the world’s first and only split creature card.) I have likewise heard a lot of stories from fans about how they, or sometimes their friends or family, made their announcements in the form of a Magic card. I didn’t print it like Richard did, but I did share my news with the audience through the medium of a Magic card. When my twins were born, I announced it online with a card that I’d made. I think this struck a chord with the Magic community because it reminds all of us that the game is more than just an activity we participate in, but a means by which we can create a larger community that adds to the richness of our lives. Richard, for example, used it as a means of celebration to publicly acknowledge events that were important to him.
Yes, they can be game pieces, but they can be much more than that. Mark Rosewater, head designer: Having designed thousands and thousands of cards over the years, I’ve come to see the Magic card as a canvas capable of creating all sorts of artistic expressions.
