{{Main page portals}} {{box-header|title=Production}}<div style="float:right;">[[File:Uncut-VIS-U.jpg|200px|thumb|An uncut [[print sheet]] from ''[[Visions]].]]</div> It takes a lot of organization to produce a ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' [[set]]. A lot. The game is published by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (WotC), a subsidiary of the American multinational toy and board game [[Hasbro]]. Product releases can followed via their website [[Magicthegathering.com]] and the social media of front man [[Mark Rosewater]]. Depending on the [[:Category:Magic products|product]], it takes up to two years to go through the process from inception to a product on the shelves. Like any company, WotC has to consider different (international) markets and different target audiences. To provide for beginning players and advanced, casual and professional, [[Timmy]]'s, [[Johnny]]'s and [[Spike]]s, male and female, a whole line of tools and techniques has been developed through the years. The main group of people to churn out the many yearly products is an ever changing team called ''[[Magic]]'' [[R&D]]. These stewards of ''Magic'' believe in discovery, surprise, and strategy. They are not afraid to change aspects of the game on a regular base or to add new elements to keep the [[metagame]] lively. They have advanced the game from a niche product to [[Magic in popular culture|main stream]]. {{box-footer}} {{flexbox-header|justify=space-between}} <!-- FIRST COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=1|style=width:23%;}} {{box-header|title=Research & Design}} *[[Hasbro]] *[[Wizards of the Coast]] *[[Richard Garfield]] {{-}} Creator *[[Design#Historical stages of design|Historical stages of design]] * [[Studio X]] **[[Bill Rose]] {{-}} Vice President, R&D ** [[Ken Troop]] {{-}} Executive Producer ** [[Bryan Hawley]] {{-}} Play Design Manager ** [[Brady Bell]] {{-}} Director Game Design ** [[Kenny Fortson]] {{-}} Principal Design Economist ** [[Max McCall]] {{-}} Design Economist **[[Dave Geyer]] {{-}} Senior Game Producer **[[Aaron Forsythe]] {{-}} Vice President of Design **[[Mark Rosewater]] {{-}} Head Designer **[[Erik Lauer]] {{-}} Head Developer **[[:Category:Wizards of the Coast employees|Other employees]] *[[R&D#Creative|Creative]] *[[Artists]] *[[R&D#Product Architecture|Product Architecture]] *[[R&D#Editing|Editing]] *[[R&D#Digital|Digital]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- SECOND COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=2|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=Process}} *[[Design#Exploratory design|Exploratory design]] *[[Vision Design]] *[[Set Design]] (Development) *[[Play Design]] *[[Top-down]] design *[[Great Designer Search]] *[[Grand Creature Type Update]] *[[Codename]]s *[[Future Future League]] *[[Playtest]]ing *[[R&D#Development|Quick pointing]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- THIRD COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=3|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=Tools and Concepts}} *[[Golden Trifecta]] **The [[trading card game]] genre **The [[mana]] system **The [[Color]] Pie *[[Player type]]s **[[Player type#Psychographic profile|Psychographic profiles]] **[[Player type#Aesthetic profile|Aesthetic profiles]] *[[Prototype creature]]s *[[As-fan]] *[[Reserved List]] *[[Complexity creep]] *[[New World Order]] *[[Rosewater Scale]]s **[[Beeble Scale]] ([[Creature type]]s) **[[Rabiah Scale]] ([[Plane]]s) **[[Storm Scale]] ([[Mechanic]]s) **[[Venser Scale]] ([[Planeswalker]]s) {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- FOURTH COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=4|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=Cardboard and Marketing}} *[[Print sheet]] *[[Card]]s *[[Parts of a card]] *[[Rarity]] *[[Grading]] *[[Reprint]]s *[[Misprints]] *[[Counterfeit]]s *[[Proxy|Proxies]] *[[Token]]s *[[Marketing card]]s *[[Promotional card]]s *[[Rules card]]s *[[Pro Tour Player Cards]] *[[Artist proofs]] *[[Magic merchandise]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} {{flexbox-footer}} {{box-header|title=Categories|text-align=center;}} ''Any categories intended to group articles based on production of the game should be linked here.'' {{box-footer}} [[Category:Portals]]
