Waaaay too many non-free images on this article

This article is extremely over the top with the number of non-free images. This article is now the second highest user of non-free images on the entire project of over 6 million articles. Please see WP:NFLISTS. The non-free image use here needs to be eliminated, or reduced to a single image that shows several sets at once. courtesy ping to @Itdoesntmatteranymore: --Hammersoft (talk) 23:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you’re referring to the set symbols, they are a necessary part of identifying cards, and WotC/Hasbro has not filed a copyright strike as far as I can tell. Some of the symbols aren’t even copyright-able (such as the sixth edition symbol). 2601:405:4180:CF00:78A2:B389:613F:A8AD (talk) 20:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not necessary. This sort of argument has been used many times before; it fails every time. As far as Hasbro not doing anything about it; that has absolutely no relevance. We don't keep copyrighted things here until the owner tells us to get rid of it. That's not how it works. See WP:NFC and WP:NFCC. It's been three months. Nobody's doing anything about the mass over use of images here. I will begin removing them. --Hammersoft (talk) 05:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to second Hammersoft on this. None of these meet WP:NFCC, as they are purely decorative. As WP:NFLISTS clearly states images that are used only to visually identify elements in the article should be used as sparingly as possible, which these clearly aren't. These should be removed as soon as possible. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 16:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Origins is not a core set

While Origins was a July release, it broke many of the core set guidelines and is generally not considered a core set. It was specifically not included in the Core Set Constructed format. 2601:405:4180:CF00:78A2:B389:613F:A8AD (talk) 20:29, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just plain wrong. Despite not adhering to Core Set naming conventions, Magic Origins was designed as and always considered a Core Set. As is common for Core Sets the set doesn't feature a coherent theme, a prominent story arc or a single setting. A fanmade format that didn't even take off like "Core Set Constructed" isn't really a meaningful way to determine whether Origins is a Core Set, although as far as I can tell Core Set Constructed would have included Origins anyway.
