Trivia Request: Primal Forcemage and Timbermare

Mark - first off, I wanted to thank you for all you do for the game and its players. I’ve been playing Magic since Revised, and while I keep drifting in and out, you’ve been the anchor that keeps me involved with the game.Second - I request birthday trivia. Specifically, do you have any interesting trivia on the centerpieces of my first FNM deck, Primal Forcemage or Timbermare?

Timbermare was a nod to “Mare”, the wife of a Magic writer named Jamie Wakefield, who died of cancer. Happy Birthday!
