A single review of a book about Magic the Gathering, published in a magazine from the company producing Magic the Gathering, so not an independent source. I couldn't find any other source beyond commercial listings, fan fora, or passing mentions, in the 81 Google hits, so this seems to lack notability. I couldn't find any reference to this book outside books by the same author or publisher either. Fram ( talk) 07:46, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - I couldn't find any reasonable sources that could justify this as an encyclopedia topic. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Dragon magazine no. 227 was published by TSR, Inc. in 1996. At that time, TSR was not affiliated (yet) with Wizards of the Coast, the producer of Magic the Gathering. So the article in that magazine should count as an independent source. Daranios ( talk) 16:00, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Regardless of the fact that Dragon was not yet associated in any way with Magic: The Gathering, it is still just a single source. With virtually no other information from reliable, secondary sources, it is a failure of the WP:GNG. Rorshacma ( talk) 18:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
