Gregory Marques
Gregory Marques is a game designer, currently making new games that will appear on Facebook in 2011. You may remember a previous Facebook game he worked on, Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures. His Magic playing began in 1994. He began designing cards right away, but not professionally until he was offered a unique chance to help out with 5th Dawn by e-mail. He was later employed at Wizards of the Coast from 2006 until 2009. He was on the development teams for Magic 2010 and Rise of the Eldrazi, and on the design teams for Magic 2011, Rise of the Eldrazi, and Duel Decks: Garruk vs Liliana. He played in the FFL and did some additional design on every set from Shards of Alara through Magic 2011. He has not played much competitive Magic, but was the Washington State Champion this year, and perhaps he will have some more achievements in the future.

Green I’m not exactly surprised to see a green Shatterstorm, and I […]

What new decks will come with the introduction of Mirrodin Besieged to Standard and Extended? Greg takes an early look at some of the possibilities in this edition of Present-Present League.
This week Gregory takes his first stab at a new extended deck, but soon discovers there are some important things you should think about when approaching this format.
There are 14 Planeswalkers currently legal in Standard. Planeswalkers are some of the most powerful, multifunctional, card-advantageous cards ever printed. Why is it then, with 14 to choose from, I only see one or two of them in decklists? Let’s go through them, and see if we can find the problem: Ajani Goldmane – A […]
