Doug Beyer is a writer and the current Magic: The Gathering senior creative designer for Wizards of the Coast.
Career[edit | edit source]
Doug wrote Pawn of the Banshee in the Shadowmoor anthology, A Planeswalker's Guide to Alara with Jenna Helland and Alara Unbroken. He wrote the Savor the Flavor articles on magicthegathering.com [1][2] and sometimes participates in design for flavor-driven sets and has served as creative liaison on numerous design and development teams including Innistrad, Return to Ravnica, and Theros.[3] Doug began working at WotC in the summer of 2000 and started out as a web developer in the Online Media department (a.k.a. the web team). As such, he developed the Orb of Insight.[4] In 2006, he moved from being a web developer and part-time flavor text writer to being part of the Magic creative team as a replacement for Matt Cavotta.[5][6]
After Brady Dommermuth's departure, Doug has stepped up to become the public face of creative in very prominent ways, including starting a flavor based tumblr, which unfortunately isn't updated anymore.
