I've already heard many an idiot making Karona jokes because of the pandemic, so I'm alright with this change.
Black sarcastic dark humor is often exactly what people need to get over very dire real life circumstances.
So i am all board for this kind of word plays, its amusing.
So we detected the edgelord at the table. You'd make a joke about COVID considering there's a good chance that someone at the table has been impacted by it in some way.
This is another good reason why changing the name and stopping this run is a good thing.
In light of this change, I will also be expecting for Corona beer to also change their name... (not gonna happen, but hey, people are really sensitive nowadays!). Joke aside, I guess WotC acted well under the circumstances.
I think I've learned to treat Magic cards like baseball cards: keep 'em in a binder in numerical order, don't play with 'em, try to finish the set and just keep my head down.
People trying to show how much they are tough by showing that they not care about anything.
The only thing they show is that they care about no one because no one care about them.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
There's literally no reason people should be complaining about this change.
Many have given valid reasons why the change should not occur. Honestly, if WOTC didn't want to make a scene about this, they would have done so quietly.

I’ve yet to see or hear any. What are those valid reasons again?

I will reiterate. THERE is NO VALID REASON, why people should be mad that they decided to change the name.

They want to feel cool and edgy because they don't care

If it wasn't you asking, I'd ask you if you're new to this game. SJWs have been running design for years now.
Is SJW a pejorative term now?
Always has been, always will be.
And not necessarily because of their"progressive views" or "sensitivity" but more because those attributes frequently appear in air quotes. An SJW frequently cares more about being seen doing the right thing than doing the right thing. When issues are over simplified or wrapped with a neat bow it's generally not going to lead to a good solution.
They want to feel cool and edgy because they don't care
You are correct, I simply don't care either way. No sane person will look at this and think negatively of WOTC. Again, if WOTC didn't want to be controversal about it, they should have said nothing and changed it beforehand. Now tell me who is the edgy one?

I would have also said because of their "progressive views" and "sensitivity" as you put, but yes, you did hit the nail right on the head.
This is a good change. We're all going to lose or know someone who will lose someone to COVID-19, leaving this on a card will just accentuate the chance the people will troll others by waving the card at them and stuff. Since Judges rarely enforce unsportsmanlike, this would be a nightmare at live events.

Quick reminder that while it's more than okay to disagree with people who hold traditional values, it's not okay to be a dick about it. Thank you for demonstrating why real progressives don't like SJWs either.
I wonder if some of the Death Corona cards actually got released into circulation?
These would probably be worth a lot more than the edited version.
If I understood it correctly, the entire first print run of Ikoria will contain this card, physically. We all know these things are printed months in advance. But as it is a box topper, it will not be that easy to get.
Second and further print runs of Ikoria will not contain the card at all.
The edited version exists only on Arena, not as a physical card, right?

Pete's sake. Presumably, an invocation of St. Peter instead of Jesus ("For Christ's sake").

I am LAUGHING MY *** OFF over them having to change this name though.
