Magic: The Gathering – Eighth Edition Seeks Fan Input June 5, 2002 (RENTON, Wash.) — The Magic: The Gathering® team at Wizards of the Coast, Inc., is seeking player input, which will be incorporated into the release of the Magic: The Gathering®–Eighth Edition™ starter-level game, which is slated to release summer of 2003. In preparation for the release of Eighth Edition, Wizards of the Coast will be running a promotion on magicthegathering.com asking Magic® fans for their input and feedback on many aspects of the set.
