Like most within the Magic: The Gathering team, global play lead Ken Troop's background is that of a player. As he expresses in a recent interview with us, his connection with games like MTG was forged long before he began his almost 20-year career with Wizards of the Coast. "Growing up, D&D and magic were my two favorite games of all time," he muses. "To be a part of a group of amazing people that really consider themselves the stewards of Magic is a treat, a delight, an honor, and a responsibility."
With design credits on the beloved Return to Ravnica and a catalog of Magic: The Gathering fiction behind him, Troop has certainly lived up to that responsibility. But beyond his earlier work as a writer and designer on one of the best card games, he has also made significant efforts to push MTG into digital environments through his involvement in projects like Duels of the Planeswalkers and Magic: The Gathering Online.
