Duel Masters and Destroy all humans

It would be good to mention "Duel Masters" (until 2002) and "Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated" manga and anime. which are based on MTG.Not sure where to put it in the article. 185.18.60.54 (talk) 11:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Catholic cardinals as Magic cards

Template:Ping MOS:POPCULT states "Template:Xt". Even if they say they got it from an outlet, someone on Bluesky posting essentially a meme (Catholic cardinals as Magic cards) is not a reliable source nor does it meet the MOS standard of discussing the impact of the meme. The meme existing is not enough to include it. Sariel Xilo (talk) 16:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

It's not a meme. It's not even a cultural reference. It is a presentation in an unusual format of papabili analysis by none other than Edward Pentin, Rome correspondent for the National Catholic Register, who wrote The Next Pope: The Leading Cardinal Candidates, published in August 2020, and numerous other journalists, academics, et al., on The Cardinal Report, a website heavily cited. The information is presented in the guise of an much beloved pop culture artifact. Repackaged, one might say. Furthermore, it was created with Artificer by Jeff Nascimento (‪@jnascim.info); it stands in its own right as an derivative work à la AD&D's Character Alignment Chart being used for purposes beyond gaming. kencf0618 (talk) 21:57, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
That correspondent & outlet might be relevant to the 2025 papal conclave article but that doesn't explain why it is relevant to this article. You're also not citing either Edward Pentin or the Cardinal Report directly; you're citing someone on bsky who claims they have taken another party's (probably copyrighted) prose & reformatted it as Magic cards. If there were secondary sources talking about this, you might have an argument but simply the existence of this thing on social media does not mean it is notable enough to include.

Created using Artificer, so it's kosher. It's relevant to the article because of its use of the format. That said, we await secondary sources. Ta! kencf0618 (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Reserved List Legal Basis

"Legacy-only cards on the Reserved List, which are barred from reprint under a voluntary but genuine legal obligation"

Source? Genuine legal obligation according to who? 81.102.163.168 (talk) 11:03, 5 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
