As\u00a0Magic: The Gathering<\/em>\u00a0approaches its 25th anniversary,\u00a0<\/em>head designer Mark Rosewater is perched at a crucial point between past and future. The game\u2019s next set of cards will reprise\u00a0Magic<\/em>\u2019s classic\u00a0Dominaria<\/em>\u00a0setting, with the game\u2019s original creator Richard Garfield tag-teaming design with Rosewater. But while it looks back, it will also look forward, making a tweak that some players have demanded for years: Changing the player\u2019s pronoun to the gender-neutral \u201cthey\u201d on all future cards.<\/p>\n \u201cWe recognized that language changes with time and there\u2019s been a shift in desire to move to \u2018they,\u2019\u201d Rosewater said via phone to\u00a0Kotaku<\/em>\u00a0today about the expansion, which will release April 27. \u201cIt\u2019s something we\u2019ve wanted to do, but there are a lot of technicalities with\u00a0Magic<\/em>. It wasn\u2019t as easy as flipping a switch.\u201d<\/p>\n
