ATLANTA, GA – Multiple keen eyed viewers of last week’s MagicCon Atlanta preview panel noticed what appeared to be head Magic designer Mark Rosewater sending a hidden plea for salvation between the thirteenth and fourteenth product announcements. 

Rosewater himself has denied the accusations, extolling his love for the company that provides his health insurance.

“Hahaha that’s crazy, I must’ve just been tired.” said a profusely sweating Rosewater with a red laser pointer dot on his forehead. “Not that I’d ever be tired working here! Keeping a healthy work life balance and designing twenty six new cards to release every day definitely aren’t mutually exclusive!”

“Anyways, let me get back to my other wonderful full time job of responding to butthurt card game enthusiasts on Tumblr. Speaking of, in-Multiverse Magic is getting more attention from us than ever. Just like my family, who aren’t currently chained to radiators as emotional leverage to force my hand in creating 2007 DeviantArt tier The Office cards!”

Despite the designer’s protests to the contrary, many Magic players remain skeptical of the company’s claims.

“Well I saw him backstage muttering ‘please let me go I won’t tell anyone I swear’,” said con attendee Marisa Bones. “But it’s hard to trust what he says after all of the Universes Beyond Blogatog phooey. Who knows what he actually meant?”

Wizards of the Coast’s official statement at press time is that both Rosewater and his Achilles tendons are perfectly safe.
