The man who started a movement. Or, more accurately, a lifestyle. Richard Garfield has impacted our lives in ways we can't even completely comprehend, and we all know how much Magic has meant to each of us.

That said, the man himself isn't involved in the day-to-day anymore. He helped work on Innistrad block and while you'll find his inspiration on everything in Magic these days, he's not making the cards themselves anymore.

With that said, we don't hear as much from Garfield as we do from someone like Mark Rosewater, who took a lot of Garfield's lessons and has used them to help advance Magic to where it is today. So it was awesome to read this interview that was done for Eurogamer. Definitely worth checking out.
