== Node Descriptions ==

I was thinking that instead of duplicating all the info from the opponents' source events, we could just have a table with some basic info and a link to the original node. To me this would look a lot cleaner and be easier to browse through to find the node you're looking for. (It would replace the separate deck lists section as well.) Something like this, maybe?

: A few things. I like your setup, and I agree the abilities are too much. We should be encouraging players to see the full deck lists, since those old lists represent work by not only this wiki but that database. However, I think the current gem rows look nice.
: Also, Nissa Vital Force, Breaker of Armies and probably a few more do NOT come from events. I suspect they are outtakes, as it were, consigned to the cutting room floor and resurrected here. I think a separate section for those with a different markup would look neater, but as you like. And I don't work here all that much so others should have their say.

:: Eventually the "new" bosses that are only part of this event could have gem rows as well; eg I put the bonuses and 8/10 cards for Vile Aggregate in invisible notes (and its ability is to give +3/+0 to all its creatures) [[User:AnarchangeI|AnarchangeI]] ([[User talk:AnarchangeI|talk]]) 02:29, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I suspect that many of the "missing" opponents are actually from Battle for Zendikar story missions. (I've been meaning to look into them at some point.) But yeah, any that aren't already somewhere on the wiki could have full entries here in another section. Do you think adding the mana bonuses to the table would be a good idea? --[[User:MetaBunny|MetaBunny]] ([[User talk:MetaBunny|talk]]) 21:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

: The mana bonuses look good and are what people want to know if they are trying to hose the opponent's gem colors with Lands. I think any "missing" opponents should be as complete as possible, but stuff like Crystal Slipper and Taste of Death should be just linked to their sections on, in this case, [[Fables of Eldraine]] [[User:AnarchangeI|AnarchangeI]] ([[User talk:AnarchangeI|talk]]) 05:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
