Summary[edit]

Magic: the Gathering cards are designated by various types and colors.

I, bradleyjx, assert that the use of this image in the article Magic: The Gathering on Wikipedia falls under fair use at Magic: The Gathering because:

1. The image is used to illustrate the game, to inform, and to comment on them.
2. The reproduction of the image here in no way infringes on the ability of the copyright holder (Wizards of the Coast), nor the retailers who deal directly with consumers, to sell the physical cards pictured and profit from the game.
3. The image is scanned at a lower resolution than the real-life pictures of the cards.
4. The image of the card pictured here is widely distributed and is visible in many places on the Internet, and the copyright holder has historically tolerated this online reproduction of unaltered images of such cards. bradleyjx (talk) 03:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
5. The cardback was designed by Jesper Myrfors.

Licensing[edit]
