Skaff Elias is a long-time member of Magic R&D and one of the original Magic playtesters and developers who worked on the game before Alpha was released.
Skaff has held such positions as Magic Brand Manager and Senior Vice President of Magic R&D.
The Pro Tour was Skaff's idea.
Skaff also shot down the idea to give different card backs to each expansion set. "He correctly identified the problem that if you give cards different backs then you could tell what card you were about to draw."
He was responsible for testing out the rule that limited no more than four copies of a card in a deck. "It was simply because four was the first number suggested and it worked well."
