 * Against
 * Pros:
 * This satisfies the Featured sources criteria. - Regis
 * Almost! (no caption, not formatted in some sections, very many red links) ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The article contains all cards from each released expansion. The cards are listed in easy-to-read collapsible tables. - Regis
 * The synopses are well written and give a good overview of the game. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Standard index and card lists appear complete. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Demonstrates various features of the wiki (contains good quotes and images). ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Cons:
 * Not every listing in the index has an article or a redirect link. - Regis
 * Formatting:
 * The index entries for magic items should be italicized and lower case. Please see the wiki's conventions for this. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The index entries for constructs are in italics, when they shouldn't be. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The magic section is indented for items but not constructs. They should be consistent. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Some +1, +2 items, etc, are inconsistently linked. Example: Blessed shield +2 links to Blessed Shield, but Blessed shield +3 links to Blessed Shield +3. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Realms year isn't showing up in the infobox, even though it has an entry in the code. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Main comment: Complete index, but their topics aren't documented. Many characters and other topics don't have pages (some are important enough for them to be explicitly mentioned in the expansion synopses). For example, Christos Tellum. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Excessive linking to the same topic. For example, Christos is linked to twice in the same section. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
