Description of deck by Adriann Sullivan on MTG.COM (quoted):
Baxter gave players information with books like Deep Magic and The Tables of Magic. In the mid-90's, players were hungry for deck lists; Baxter gave them lists both successful and speculative. In an age before the explosion of Magic websites and the proliferation of ""net"" deck lists, Baxter's books were valuable reference material both for deck ideas and for dummy decks against which to test one's own designs.

More than by just distributing lists, Baxter was innovative in other ways. He had perfected deck and metagame disinformation years before the idea had occurred to writers like Sean McKeown and Adrian Sullivan. He would fudge numbers on some decks and add random Prodigal Sorcerers to others. While Baxter was providing an important service, he was also making his readers work for their information, and test for optimal builds.

Though he was a lot less active on the internet than any of the rest of our Founding Fathers, Baxter's influence dating back to the pre-information age is felt today still.
