This is just one minor aspect of Magic: The Gathering rules (itself a problematic article when it comes to WP:GNG). I have serious doubts this topic meets GNG. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

- Delete A relatively niche part of the rules of MTG that doesn't have much in terms of independent coverage. Possibly could redirect towards Magic: The Gathering rules, but if that article is kept. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 18:38, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The worst case would be merger to the set that introduced the concept: Legends (Magic: The Gathering). But that was a long time ago and the concept has had significant evolution since and so there's plenty to say – see A History of Legends, for example. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- The set redirects to the list and so is not a particularly valid target. As for the cited source, I am not sure it meets Wikipedia:Reliable sources policy - it is a niche blog or fanzine. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:08, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:IN-U. Avilich (talk) 22:16, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Coverage of this particular segment of the card game does not appear to be sufficient to support an independent article. It is covered at Magic: The Gathering expansion sets, 1993–1995#Mechanics, so I would not be opposed as a Redirect to there, as an alternative. Rorshacma (talk) 23:36, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. In the spirit of ATD/PRESERVE, I think a redirect is fine, and perhaps a few sentences could even be merged there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:50, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Magic: The Gathering expansion sets, 1993–1995#Mechanics as suggested above, per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 12:26, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- The proposed merger sounds like the right way to go. Hobit (talk) 22:12, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
