You will be missed. I was really starting to feel you had the best articles of the week. Also felt you were the best Latest Developments writer since Aaron Forsythe (and possibly better--I'd really have to go back and compare them side-by-side).
Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down. A cat with toast strapped to its back will hover above the ground in a state of quantum indecision.

Sad to see the only columnist who could write better than Rosewater go. Glad to hear you'll be doing loads of awesome stuff.

Nooooooooo!
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Zac if this is what he wants to do, and seriously, dude's future-resume sounds incredibly impressive. But he's been a fantastic writer for this column, and like everyone else, I'm really, really sad to see him go.

Sorry to see you go, Zac - I really enjoyed your tenure here.
Is it too much to hope that you might still write for other Magic websites from time to time? That's where I first began to appreciate your work.

Good luck, Zac! Sad to see another LD writer go, but it sounds like you've got a lot of amazing stuff on the horizon.
I really liked Tom's stuff, so it'll be cool to get more articles by him! LD has been my second-favorite column for a while now, because the writers are always so honest and forthright about the issues they deal with and the work they do. Can't wait to see who we get next.

Farewell, Zac, and good luck at the new job!
...Though I can't help but wonder if MaRo keeps a tally board somewhere counting the Latest Developments authors he's outlasted. "Another one bites the dust, muahahahaha!"
I don't know if he keeps an actual tally board, but I do know he keeps track of it to a certain extent. He has mentioned it in at least one article:
www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.a...
look for the section header: The Development Column
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr: the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777

As long as lapille doesn't start writing again we should be fine... but hey, this is the happiest news I've seen from latest developments in a long time

Even if you actually believe that (in my opinion, many of Zac's articles have been great), why would you say something that mean?

I think you can find the answer to that in his signature.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Being "not a nice person" isn't really an answer to my question, it just emphasizes the need for me to ask it.
