MTG boss MaRo hits back at claims new TCG releases are ‘designed around Commander’

Magic: The Gathering lead designer Mark Rosewater has today dismissed claims newer releases for the ever-popular card game are too heavily focused on catering for Commander.

Rosewater responded to a March 16 question on his Tumblr blog asking whether he or the MTG team felt the community’s concern new MTG sets and releases focused too heavily on the popular Commander format—at the expense of other formats—was warranted. Rosewater immediately moved to dispel the sentiment, saying his team focuses on more formats and pointed to the revival of Standard, before admitting Standard has even got extra attention.
