Talk:Magic: The Gathering

First article, I apologize for the mess. Between a few merchandise articles I didn't know which style to emulate. Noilaedi (talk) 15:12, 17 May 2022 (EDT)

Had to fix the reference tags, but otherwise it's a decent starting place. Don't feel like you need to create a complete and final article from the get-go. It'll get there over time as people add to it. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:26, 17 May 2022 (EDT)

Thanks. For actually linking to the cards in question (and any future cards), I would suggest Scryfall over Gatherer. Scryfall has higher quality pictures and they include promo/special cards Gatherer doesn't have like these two in question. Noilaedi (talk) 16:35, 17 May 2022 (EDT)

Do we need a whole section explaining the gameplay of MTG? I feel it should just be a brief introduction and then straight into the Transformers stuff --Emvee (talk) 04:44, 21 November 2022 (EST)

Agreed. I mean, we don't go into detail about how to play chess. --Khajidha (talk) 11:15, 21 November 2022 (EST)

Yes, but chess's rules and gameplay are static and don't change based on which pieces you use. You're not gonna come across someone who's built an "optimized" set of chess pieces. I think the how-to parts are helpful, as they provide context to each TF card's function and abilities in-game. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:50, 21 November 2022 (EST)

I suppose it depends on the intended purpose of this page though; is it documenting TF content within MTG or a guide on to how to play TF cards in MTG? Personally, I don't play MTG—I'm more into WH40K—but if through a Hasbro deal with Games Workshop something like "Orktimus Prime" became a real thing you could buy I wouldn't expect the article to begin with a comprehensive runthrough of the WH40K rules. That seems like something we should leave to the game's own wiki to explain. --Emvee (talk) 12:33, 21 November 2022 (EST)
