Zac, didn't know your background, but it explains much why it always felt you were bigger than this card game (even if it is the world's most successful and beloved CCG). You didn't carry yourself like you were bigger, but your writings always signalled you just oozed competency beyond black-bordered cardboard.
The real world needs more of you's out there. Go get 'em.

It's probably kind of jerkish of me, but my immediate reaction to the news was "Oh no, we're getting Tom LaPille back."
Thanks for the reprieve, Zac. It' was a real pleasure.

To Zac:
Good luck with your new job!
To forum people:
Someone needs to track him down and ask him about stuff off the record. There's a lot of things I really need to know . . .

Well it was too good to be true. Good luck to Zac in future adventures, and lets all pray that we will get as little Tom LaPille as possible and as much of the others as possible.

Sad to see you go.
Two things:
1) I've been playing Magic since 1995 and Magic 2013 is the first Core Set I've drafted more than once. Because it's actually good.
2) This column was very close to joining Noel deCordova on the "do not read" pile before you took it over. Now it's one of the best every week.
Have fun at The Future Project, though personally I find the work at Gambit much more interesting!

Farewell, sweet prince...

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!"
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

Yea, I was wondering that too. Latest Development has changed hands so many times.
Anyway, it was a joy reading your stuff Zac and its sad to see I won't be getting as much of it. Still, you won't be that far from the game. All the best and good luck with the new job.
