My name is Johnny L. Wilson. I was the Group Publisher at the time The Duelist became TopDeck magazine. I resent the article's insinuation that TopDeck had very little to do with Magic: The Gathering after the transition. When the magazine became a "flippy" with two covers, the editorial staff tried to keep a balance between MTG and other mature games compared to those of Pokemon and others. There were still strategies, card lists, price lists, AND original art pieces (and covers) related to MTG after the transition. I also object to the implication that this was strictly a house organ. It "was," but we tried to cover the whole field as well--sometimes making our in-house marketing teams (particularly the MTG team) angry. We also covered fantasy/sci-fi books and video/computer games which we had no vested interest in covering. The Duelist was rapidly declining and would have been canceled altogether without the transition. So, the temper of the two comments here seems extremely unfair.
