==Trivia==
*The Maro-sorcerers are named after Mark Rosewater, who created Multani and chose the name himself.
*Although they don't depict Maro-sorcerors, the -maro cycle of legendary creatures in Saviors of Kamigawa was based on the card <c>Maro</c>. Searching for card designs fitting the set's wisdom theme, the set's designers created a cycle based on the Mirage card. Brandon Bozzi, who was in charge of the set's names and flavor texts, decided to incorporate "maro" into the cards' names. Fortunately, -maro (まろ) was already an archaic suffix for male names in Japanese.
*Maro is the word for the color brown in Romanian.
*The <c>Territorial Maro</c> of Dominaria United hasn't been linked to a specific territory, yet.
