Editor’s Note: After MaRo used to be a column I wrote whose contents were a conversation with Magic guru Mark Rosewater. Yeah, it’s back.
(Picking up the phone) Hello, Wizards of the Coast.
Yes, Mark Rosewater please.
May I ask who’s calling?
Robby, from MTGColorPie.com; he’ll know who I am.
One moment. (Puts Robby on hold, soft jazz version of Smooth Operator plays)
Sigh.
(Mark Rosewater) I fooled you.
I know you did, sir.
I got you good. I even got one of your dumb little hashtags you use.
Well, yeah, I guess.
You see this?
No, I’m on the telephone.
I’m doing the Funky Duckman dance. (Singing) You thrust your pelvis, huh! You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Yeah, well, you shouldn’t be too happy with yourself about that.
(Beat) What? You’re on the page saying that you had read the article, and even joking that you had memorized my articles.
Yeah, yeah, I made a fool of myself and it fit perfectly into your hands. But you’re giving yourself too much credit.
