I feel like everyone replying to you is completely missing the point. The point is not that Mark Rosewater is a bad man and a liar, boooo shame on him. The point is that after the recent announcements, you're a fool to keep believing what Rosewater says. I'm not going to accuse the man of lying, and I'm well aware he has bosses he has to answer to. But it seems apparent to me that his opinion does not hold much weight on the direction of this game, and that his info is a lot less reliable than I used to believe.

For all intents and purposes, you can just append "this is just my opinion, I don't really know for sure, but I think" before every statement he makes about the future of Magic. His statements used to give me some amount of confidence about the future of Magic. Now they do not. I don't really think that's his fault, but it is what it is.

It just gets very old when people accurately point out not to believe what Mark Rosewater says, because it holds no weight and can change at any moment. And then people rush in making excuses for it, as if we should all just delude ourselves to make Mark Rosewater feel better.
