Awesome! Fandom is a scourge.

Wonderful news, the less traffic fandom gets the better.

Everyday I thank god for breezewiki and antifandom, and curse people who give any traffic to that shit. I remember when wikis for games were amazing, and informative. I think the game that broke me when I saw the most popular wiki for it was fandom was elden ring.

I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Can you educate me a little bit with some pointers? I'll research the rest then.

There's an addon called libredirect which will point you to open source alternatives for many nasty websites out there. Fandom has at least two 'mirrors' that you can get to by replacing fandom with breezewiki or antifandom in the url.

This new wiki will be 100% ad-free, forever.

Can't overstate how great Scryfall is to the community.
