Talk:Wave

Deletion

Per the reference, as of Ninth Edition, it was listed as its own type in the comprehensive rules. See https://yawgatog.com/resources/rules-changes/9ed-rav/ -"The list of creature types, updated through the Ninth Edition core set, is as follows ...Wasp, Wave, Whale...". It was removed after Mirage was released digitally and only removed from the rules as a type with Ravnica: City of Guilds. The "Counts as a Wall" was likely due to it being before Defender was made so they wanted the old Wall rules to apply. Lol pie (talk) 16:17, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I agree with lol pie. This strikes me as the correct reading. Point in case Sliver Queen, which is a Legend with the text "Sliver Queen counts as Sliver." This makes her a Legend and a Sliver, otherwise the legend rule would not apply for her. So the Wave token is a Wave and a Wall.

So the article has every right to exist on that ground. If it would be a stub, this would be a different story, but it is actually a sensible amount of text on it. - Yandere-sliver (talk) 17:21, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I concede. But it's worth to add the above to the article. --Hunter (talk) 17:43, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I disagree that it's a "sensible amount of text". There's one paragraph documenting the brief history of the Wave creature type (good, appropriate). The second sentence of the lead, the second paragraph of the body, and all but one card in the lists are purely coincidental associations based on the plain English word "wave". They have no mechanical relationship to the mechanical topic at hand, and any lore relationship to the sole source of Wave tokens is less than trivial. If that content is here purely to bulk up the article, we should reconsider just redirecting this to a small section on Wall. And no, it doesn't need its own article—how many hundreds of artists are merely redirected to the bigger list? I see no reason that a historical footnote like this type deserves more-special treatment just because it was a mechanical part of the game. Corveroth (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
