This image is of a card, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the publisher of the card. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of cards

to illustrate the card in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

I assert that the use of this image in the article Magic: The Gathering on Wikipedia falls under fair use because:

The image of several cards are used to illustrate the game, to inform, and to comment on them.
The reproduction of the image here in no way infringes on the ability of the copyright holder (Wizards of the Coast), nor the retailers who deal directly with consumers, to sell the card pictured and profit from the game.
The image is scanned at a lower resolution than the real-life picture of the card.
Images of the card pictured here are widely distributed and are visible in many places on the Internet, and the copyright holder has historically tolerated this online reproduction of unaltered images of such cards.

This image is © Wizards of the Coast, Inc. Source: Gatherer.
