Talk:Companion

Article Order

This article lists both the original rules for Companion and the current rules. Which order should they appear in?

Option One: Original, then Current. This is what the article currently does, and it makes perfect sense to appear chronologically. I can see total logic behind this option.

Option Two: Current, then Original. The original rules are, right now, irrelevant. A player who is playing a game of Magic right now and wants to look up how Companions work (and, for some reason, uses our Wiki to do so instead of an actual rulebook) should be able to find current rules. So they should go first. The original rules are little more than trivia at this point. This is especially the case if we imagine what this Wiki will look like in two, three, five, ten, twenty years. By then, the original rules of Companion are really no longer meaningful to anyone, so they deserve to be at the end. I can see total logic behind this option as well.

Given that both options are logical, I thought I'd raise the issue to the MTG Wiki community at large: What do you think? Should the order of these two be switched? --GoldenSandslash15 (talk) 21:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I would opt to delete the original rules part all together. The original rules are described in the controversy section and there it makes perfect sense. And I don't think this section provides much extra information. -Yandere Sliver 05:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
