Magic: The Gathering sets set symbols rationale

The article Magic: The Gathering sets contains a detailed list of every Magic: The Gathering set produced since the game debuted in 1993. Part of that list includes, for every set, the symbol or a description of the symbol that appears on every card in that particular set and is unique to that set. The use of these symbols in that article is believed to fall under fair use under both United States copyright law and Wikipedia's fair use policies because:

1. There is no free equivalent for these symbols.
2. Reproduction of these symbols in this article does not hamper the ability of Wizards of the Coast, nor the ability of the retailers who deal directly with the consumers, to sell and market the product on or within which these symbols appear.
3. The set symbol is the most common method of determining the set in which a particular physical card was printed. It is notable as a primary method of identification of a set, and, as such, has been used in its set's individual article.
4. A description of the set symbol, while informative when used in conjunction with the set symbol, is by itself insufficient for a user to understand the symbol it describes. Many symbols depict people, objects, or places within the fictional universes of Magic and a description alone will thus be inaccessible to many users. The inclusion of the symbol eliminates ambiguity between any symbols which could be described in a similar fashion, any unofficial/speculative descriptions which may not be accurate, and a reader's subjective interpretation of a description. In this way the symbol contributes significantly to the article.
5. Only one image is used per set that has a symbol, plus four for a description and example of each of the four rarities found in Magic: The Gathering products. Any positive amount less than that fails to maintain equality and consistency. Zero images are also insufficient as per #3 and 4 above.
6. The image is used to illustrate a set symbol which appears only on a small portion of the card's total surface.
7. The set symbols are widely distributed and are visible in many places on the Internet. The copyright holder has historically tolerated such use of unaltered symbols.

List of Magic: The Gathering keywords

Arcane

Arcane, like snow-covered, has no abilities on its own. Spells with Arcane can enhance other cards, and can be Spliced upon (see Splice, below). Some cards have abilities that trigger when you play an arcane spell.

Arcane appears in the Kamigawa block.

Aura

A revamping of the enchantment system turned all "local" enchantments into Auras. When in play, Auras must always be attached to a permanent. If at any time an Aura isn't attached to a permanent, it's put into its owner's graveyard.

Tribal

Tribal is a new card type introduced in Future Sight that shares the same subtypes as the Creature card type. Tribal can only appear in conjunction with other card types, and a Tribal is not a permanent. The main effect of Tribal is the ability to add creature types to noncreature cards.

A single card in Future Sight is a Tribal as well as an Enchantment, Bound in Silence.

Snow

This supertype doesn't do anything on its own; however, several cards in the Ice Age block interact with snow permanents, similar to how Arcane interacted with other spells in Kamigawa.

Coldsnap also introduced snow mana. Mana produced from a snow permanent is Snow mana in addition to whatever types it already is. The fact that the mana is snow doesn't change anything else about it. For example, a Snow-Covered Forest produces green snow mana.

Legends

Introduced as a creature type, "Legends" were later expanded out to encompass card types other than creatures and lands. See Legendary Permanents for more information.

Legendary Permanents

The Legend creature type (introduced in Legends) was changed to a supertype in the Kamigawa block. Like Defender, this was to ensure that no creature subtypes had rules hanging on them. Also, a small rules change was given to the Legendary type. Before the change, when two or more Legendary permanents with the same name were in play, all but the oldest one were put into the graveyard. After the change, all of them are put into the graveyard.

It might be better to have a separate section for discussing supertypes. "Legend" and "Legendary" are not keywords. Subtypes can be discussed with their relevant keywords.

Future Sight

I'm not sure what to do with this section, perhaps put it in Future Sight?

The Future Sight set represented the concept of cards from potential future sets and blocks, and as such has numerous mechanics and keywords found on only a few cards. However, designer Mark Rosewater indicated that some of them would be explored in the future. Other mechanics or keywords may return, but their return is not certain, and a third group of keywords are meant as false leads that will not return. Deathtouch, lifelink, reach, and shroud have been confirmed to become regular keywords, while poisonous has been confirmed to return someday.
