In addition, there are a few other rules specific to Storyline.
Before you make a new thread or ask a question:
Check the Wiki: The MTGS Wiki is a fantastic resource for storyline information. To avoid cluttering the forum, please check the Wiki for an answer before you post a question.
Check the Forum: We don't delete old threads here, so you may find your question has already been asked and answered. Before you ask a question, use the Search this Forum feature to look for your topic and see if we've already discussed it.
Don't Practice Thread Necromancy:Please do not post in threads with more than three months of inactivity. Doing so will result in a Spam infraction. If new information comes to light that changes something in an old discussion, please just start a new thread with a link to the old thread rather than bringing the old one back to life.
Baseless Speculation is Not Allowed: If you have a theory or other speculative discussion, share it in the Storyline Speculation subforum! However, please put some thought into it before you make a post. Implausible ideas like "I believe Gerrard will come back from the dead as a planeswalker" are spam and will result in an infraction for Baseless Speculation. This forum is for educated speculation based on available resources, so your theory must still be based on known facts. If your argument boils down to "It could happen" or "They can do what they want" you shall be penalized appropriately.
When discussing a topic, keep the following rules in mind:
Fan Fiction is Not Allowed:Storyline is not the place for fan fiction. Storyline is for the discussion of the official story of Magic: The Gathering as produced by Wizards of the Coast. If you want to post about your idea for an awesome planeswalker with a cool backstory, that belongs in Personal Writing.
Custom Card Creation is Not Allowed:Storyline is not the place for creating custom cards. Though it will rarely come up, any card creation outside the appropriate forum is prohibited. Proposing an ability as an example is fine but creating whole cards is not.
Topic Drift is Fine: While some subforums insist you stay firmly on topic, we here are interested in the discussions that can arise naturally from topics that are only tangentially related to topic at hand. So long as the discussion is not forced and springs from the source material, we'll allow discussions to flourish off the beaten path.
Avoid Double-posting:Please keep your posts singular and utilize the edit function whenever possible. It makes it much easier for others to follow the thread of the conversation.
Spoilers: If a thread is marked as [no spoilers], please keep all discussion of spoilers (beyond what has been revealed in the story so far) in spoiler tags.
