Should there be a template for MTG cards? - Fry

If there are templates for any other trading cards, then definitely. If not, I think M:TG should probably set the trend. Ryan Prior 23:21, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Although, if fans of every card game said that, nothing would get done.

[edit] Rewriting of Timetwister

The original version stated that Timetwister had no drawbacks; I felt this was innacurate, as it is somewhat likely that opponents can also benefit by drawing new hands. However, I'm not sure if my explanation on the page is concise enough; could someone check it over to make sure it is a decent explanation? Thanksabunch, I haven't edited many M:TG pages so far. --Benfergy 18:25, July 28, 2005 (UTC)


I noticed there is no picture of Mox Pearl in the Moxen section. Anybody got one? Dragon of the Pants 08:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

The paragraph "It is important for all player to help rid the community of the many fakes floating around. To familiarize yourself with the finer points of determining if a Power 9 card is a fake please visit the following indepth guide CLICK HERE" seems to not be NPOV to me. Any call to action is certainly a point of view.

  • I've gone ahead and removed the offending statement, because you're exactly right in that it's blatant NPOV. -Rikoshi 17:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mox Pearl

Why is there no image? Skizzik 14:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


Power Nine is also what IBM's 9.xxx.xxx.xxx IP network is commonly known as.

[edit] Cleaning up the article

Myself and another user are currently working on writing articles on Magic strategy and cleaning up Magic-related articles; if anyone has any specific ideas of what should be included/excluded it'd be nice to hear them so we can incorporate them. Titanium Dragon 16:00, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ancestral Recall

The article compares Ancestral Recall to Concentrate. Wouldn't Ancestral Vision be a better comparison, especially since its virtually the same card, only Vision has suspend 4? I'll make the change for now, but someone can change it back if he/she feels Concentrate is better. 12.206.235.170 03:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't use Vision for a couple of reasons. One, it's a not a card that sets the standard (whereas Concentrate has been in a core set relatively recently). Two, since it can only be played with suspend, it's not a 'regular' card; mana cost is more of a universal standard. I think that makes Concentrate a better example. Besides, Vision is already mentioned in the contemporary power cards section. --Cybron 22:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Power9.jpg

Image:Power9.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Legality of Images

I was wondering if using pictures that are copyrighted by Wizards of the Coast is consistent with Wikipedia's guidelines on images. Is it? If so, how can that be? --Asdirk (talk) 23:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
