Work Magic: The Gathering up to Featured Article Status
Last attempt was made on October 2005. The article is listed as a Good article as of July 2014.

MTG sets
The goal is to create comprehensive articles on every Magic set. Each article should touch on the following points: NOTE: Most pages violate WP:INUNIVERSE. If you can rewrite these so it's clear that they're fictional, please do so.
 * Overview – the set's theme and major points of interest; infobox template (see Useful templates below)
 * Set history – some interesting facts and history on the set
 * its design and development
 * Mechanics – something about the set's specific keywords and mechanics
 * Set storyline – a summary of the storyline told in the flavor text and relevant novels
 * Set Reception – how the set was received after release including:
 * Notable cards – which cards were the most sought after by the tournament and casual players around the world, cards with jaw-dropping rules and so on. Please include a reference as to why the card is notable.  Some suggested sites to use as references:
 * Magic Arcana
 * Star City Games
 * Related links – must have a link to the official Wizards page on that set

MTG players
If a Magic player meets any of the following criteria proposed the Wikiproject Magic: The Gathering suggests that the player has achieved a notability within the game that justifies an article in the Wikipedia. A player may achieve notability in other ways. The general notability criteria of Wikipedia always take precedence.
 * The player is a member of the Magic: The Gathering Hall of Fame;
 * The player has earned 200 lifetime Pro Tour Points or more;
 * The player has won the player of the year title;
 * The player has won two or more Pro Tours;
 * The player has reached the top eight of a Pro Tour five times or more. (Top four of a team Pro Tour counts as a top eight.)

Each player article should contain the following information:
 * Vital stats – nationality, DOB, etc.
 * Winnings – number of wins, notable wins, $ won, pro points
 * Player card – cards that the player has designed as a result of winning

MTG fiction
When creating an article on a character, species, or location be careful of original research and GNG. Many of these subjects lack secondary sources or reliable ones.

MTG glossary
Rework List of Magic: The Gathering keywords into a form (eg. a glossary) where it stops becoming the target of so many AfDs. See User:Temporarily Insane/Sandbox/MTGkeywords for a current draft.

To-do list

 * Work Magic: The Gathering up to a Featured Article
 * Reinforce all expansion pages with reliable, third-party sources
 * Expand stub-class articles
 * Rework List of Magic: The Gathering keywords into something more like a glossary (See User:Temporarily Insane/Sandbox/MTGkeywords for a current draft)
 * Create Innistrad: Midnight Hunt
