Timeline

1967

Mark Rosewater (born May 25, 1967) is the head designer for Magic: The Gathering, a position he has held since 2003.

Rosewater grew up in Pepper Pike, Ohio.

In his youth, he worked as a professional magician.

Rosewater has described his young self as a "social outcast" whose intelligence and small size led to bullying, and he never naturally lost his baby teeth, which had to be surgically removed.

Despite these difficulties, he became a successful high school student at Orange High School with numerous scholarship offers.

He attended Boston University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Communication.

After graduating, Rosewater started his career in television as a runner.

He then found work as a writer.

1991

He is credited for two Roseanne episodes: "Vegas, Vegas" and "Take My Bike, Please", both aired in 1991.

He considered his time in Hollywood a "roller coaster ride."

While working as a freelance writer he took a job at a game store in order to have some social contacts.

Working there he first found out about Magic: The Gathering from a customer.

1994

Before 1994 he was on the writing staff of Roseanne.

1995

Since 1995, Rosewater has worked for Wizards of the Coast, the company which makes Magic: The Gathering.

He wrote puzzles based on Magic cards and other articles for The Duelist, the Wizards of the Coast magazine promoting and covering Magic.

1996

In 1996 Magic: The Puzzling was published, a collection of 25 puzzles written for The Duelist.

Since 1996 Rosewater has worked for Wizards of the Coast as a designer of Magic cards.

Rosewater has designed at least one card for every Magic expansion since Alliances.

While working for Wizards of the Coast, he wrote columns called “Insider Trading” for the magazines The Duelist, Topdeck, and The Sideboard which gave an inside look at Magic design.

Rosewater has been the lead designer for Tempest, Urza’s Destiny, Odyssey, Mirrodin, Fifth Dawn, Ravnica: City of Guilds, Future Sight, Shadowmoor, Eventide, Zendikar, Scars of Mirrodin, Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Gatecrash, Theros, Khans of Tarkir, Battle for Zendikar, Kaladesh, Amonkhet, Ixalan, Unstable, Dominaria, Guilds of Ravnica, Ravnica Allegiance, War of the Spark, Throne of Eldraine, Unsanctioned, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, Zendikar Rising, Strixhaven: School of Mages, Innistrad: Crimson Vow, Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Unfinity, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, March of the Machine, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and Murders at Karlov Manor.

He was also the sole designer of Unglued; in it he combined his career as a magic card designer with his previous career as a comedy writer.

Picking up on the comic note of the "un"-sets, he judged the Unglued pre-release wearing a chicken suit and the Unhinged pre-release wearing a donkey suit.

He also wrote flavor text in various sets including Mirage and Tempest.

Rosewater advocated for Pro Tournament (organized, competitive Magic play with significant cash prizes) for years, including the important idea of having feature matches at professional events.

Feature matches are chosen at Pro Tournaments to be highlighted for spectators and web coverage because the players or the decks involved are well known or thought to be of greater interest.

He is notable for his quick ascent to the head of Magic the Gathering as well as his personable demeanor.

2002

Since 2002, Rosewater has a weekly column called "Making Magic" on magicthegathering.com, the official site of Wizards of the Coast.

In these columns, much like in his previous "Insider Trader"-columns he gives an inside look on how Magic cards are created.

He has written on many controversial subjects, such as why Wizards of the Coast makes "bad rares".

Other key subjects of his columns include Wizards of the Coast's "psychographic" profiles of players called "Timmy/Tammy", "Johnny/Jenny", "Vorthos", and "Spike" and the color wheel.

He often writes his articles in off-the-wall or unusual styles.

For instance in one column he took the perspective of the Magic card "", in another he wrote from the perspective of the mechanic "splice".

One article, which even had the subject "Mark Rosewater Admits He’s %#@$ Insane!"

was written like a bulletin board on one of his columns.

Many articles also touch upon his personal life.

Rosewater claims he reads every email sent to him and has written several mailbag columns in which he responds to praise and criticism alike.

2003

In December 2003, he became Magic's lead designer, later called head designer.

Before that he was senior head designer.

As head designer Rosewater has written a "State of Design" column every year.

In it he reviews the Magic design of the previous year and given plans for future Magic designs.
