[edit] Elf deck

Non-notable Magic: The Gathering deck type. I'm not crossing the line and saying all Magic deck types are non-notable (in fact, I think that there are a few very famous deck types that should have articles here); however, I am saying this one is non-notable since it hasn't been very strong in tournament play. -- Grev -- Talk July 5, 2005 20:00 (UTC)

• Delete and/or merge. This is borderline. I agree with the above, but on a technicality I would say that this deck type has been popular in tournaments for many years. That is, many green and green/white weenie styles are based on one or more types of elves which at least include the llanowar. Still, I think a single article (which may already exist) giving an overview of the many deck styles and their use in tournament play would make more sense (much like an article giving an overview on chess openings). As it stands there's only a small amount of information here which could easily be a section in some other Magic-related article. -Harmil 5 July 2005 20:27 (UTC)
• Merge. One page for discussion of various deck archetypes would be appropriate, and this info should be merged into it. Perhaps under the general term of "Tribal decks" with mention of elves. - FabioB 5 July 2005 20:51 (UTC)
• I'd say this could be merged to Magic: The Gathering Deck Types. humblefool®Have you voted in the CSD poll yet? 5 July 2005 21:41 (UTC)
• Merge into a larger, more inclusive category, whose name I will leave to the experts. Dcarrano July 5, 2005 22:50 (UTC)
• Merge and Delete: Something like Magic: The Gathering deck types? I don't know. --Alex12 3 6 July 2005 00:50 (UTC)
• Merge, a list of notable deck types (as in, used in world tournaments) sounds about as encyclopedic as a list of Pokemon moves. Radiant_>|< July 6, 2005 13:45 (UTC)
• Comment - I started Magic: The Gathering Deck Types. Looking for a consensus on the optimal article layout/organization. Once that is set, I think it's time to merge the elf deck into it (redirect really isn't necessary, but it might be helpful to insert a reference at Elf to Magic the Gathering). I'll be busy until Friday, but if by then no one else has readied the new article, I'll do it then. - FabioB 6 July 2005 21:11 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Notable deck type, not notable outside of an article on deck types. -Sean Curtin July 9, 2005 01:55 (UTC)
