Magic: The Gathering sets project
As follows from its title, the goal is to create articles on each and every Magic: The Gathering set. There's a lot of stuff to be written about them: each set has its own unique theme and some have interesting stories related to them.
Okay, here is the stuff needed in the articles:
- Overview - the set's theme, logo and expansion symbol should be there too
- Set history - some interesting facts and history on the set
- Set storyline - a summary of the storyline told in the flavor text and relevent novels
- Mechanics - something about the set's specific keywords and mechanics
- Notable cards - which cards were the most seeked for by the tournament and casual players around the world, cards with jaw-dropping rules and so on
- Related links - must have a link to the official Wizards page on that set
There are two templates used for the overview: mtgonblockset (used for unblocked sets like Legends) and mtgblockset (used for blocked sets like Onslaught). Each unblocked set uses gray as the template color and each blocked set uses a color specific to that block (like orange for the Mirage block).
For a good example of how a set article should look check out Onslaught and Weatherlight.
