You made a throwaway account just to conveniently forget that "Moor" has several definitions and the one here definitely refers to dirt and not people?

Wizards need to put their money where their mouth is. The hipocrasy of banning some cards because they can be seen as racist of you stretch context long enough and then emidiatly print a card with "moor" in it's name made me nearly froth at the mouth. If the other cards should go because of a stretch, so too should this. Where i live they still sell "moorkoppen" a pastry with dark chocolate. It's name translates to Moor heads from Dutch. The term moor still is a cause for concern en debate here in Europe.
So if "stone throwing devils" should go, so should this. No matter the intention of the word, it's still offensive.
Will this follow the names of the Barren Moor cycle? Are we going to get Thriving Sandbar, Thriving Thicket, Thriving Cave, and Thriving Steppe? Probably not, but that'd be cute.

I'm a supporter/ally. I believe that systemic racism is a cancer, and if you have to cut away a little healthy flesh to get rid of the cancer, so be it. Losing some questionable cards are a small price to pay.
However.
It is clear that you made this account just to virtue signal. Have the courage to do this from your actual account at the very least, or this looks very trollish.
Don’t engage the ignorant troll, people. It’s a waste of time, and fills the thread with irrelevant posts. Already more than half the posts in this thread are devoted to the fact some moron can’t differentiate between a Moor and a moor.
The word Moor has multiple meanings, aside of the one you are implying.
Notably:
a tract of open uncultivated upland; a heath.
Similar: upland-moorland-heath-plateau-fell-wold-grouse moor
a tract of open land preserved for shooting.
"a grouse moor"
DIALECT•US
a fen.
It can also refer to docking a boat, but that's not relevant here. As the card itself has nothing in the art or effect to indicate any implication other than the above definition, there is no reason this card would fall into the categories of the others.
Your argument is invalid. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Crusade and Cleanse also have multiple meanings. Making your argument invalid.
Moor is still a heavily used slur that should not be used in modern era mtg. No matter the intention, the word still hurts. Telling me my opinion does not matter becsuse the word can and is implied to mean something else, does not deter from the fact that it can also be hurtfull.

If this art wasn’t a land you could make a case. Injecting your hurt feelings makes no sense in this context.

Things are only racist if you want them to be. Maybe we need more snow cards here to make all the snowflakes here feel warm and fuzzy. Just make sure the snow isn't too white because that could be perceived as racist too (OMG nature wants everything to be white! LETS PILLAGE NATURE AND SET THINGS ABLAZE!)
Carrying on.
From the looks of it each card will purposely exclude a colour to allow for a mixed colour assortment. See? We've got inclusion here after all folks

I’m always confused when people from similarly marginalized groups choose to be antagonistic rather than an ally. You’d think there’d be some... I dunno, empathy in there somewhere. Grats on the SCOTUS win, at any rate; hopefully a reason to be optimistic for the BLM movement as well.
