Non-notable commercial product, fails WP:GNG. This is a part of a gaming set, and while the gaming set itself may well be notable ( I haven't checked it), this expansion set is not. The references are either to fansites (which fail WP:RS) or to the game's publisher Wizards of the Coast (which is not an independent source).

  • Keep All SqueamishOrange's comments in the omnibus nominations above apply here - InQuest Gamer and Scrye extensively covered each and every set of Magic, including retrospectives for early releases such as these, and they were the two premier publications in the card-gaming industry in the 1990s; coverage has only increased since then as the game has become even more popular. Plenty of secondary source material here, even if that is not evident in the current revisions for some of these articles. Chubbles (talk) 16:14, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Magic: The Gathering early expansions: Yes, the article needs more sourcing. Yes, there's content that can be salvaged. No, it doesn't deserve its own article anymore than the recent expansions do (see the RfC at Talk:Ice Age (Magic: The Gathering) for why they don't anymore). Yes, I've been toying with proposing that merge for a month now, and this seems as good a time as anypbp 17:02, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A portion of the content could be merged into the main article. --jonny-mt 01:44, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
