Aaand he has one of the lamest names anyone in Germany would give their child in 2021. Pretty much as modern a name here as Jebediah would be in the States. Great card nonetheless, and of course the gravy train for people who are into shredded shirtless guys is still running at top speed.

Pretty lame legend if you ask me. Sure, it's decent, but I am not digging the legendary treatment in this set for cards below rare. This is JUST an uncommon with legendary tacked on.

I like the name Harald but it should heve been used for a human character, not a elf. Harald is a typical name for a gruff viking warrior-king, not a faeric Alfar.
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.
Guess Wizards is cool with male characters looking like they just walked out of Magic Mike but the women need to be covered like nuns
Yup klothys running around topless is a real nun look.

Should have been Thane/Thegyn or Jarl/Yarl of Skemfar at Uncommon, not King.

True, but they were probably sweating bullets for any twitter backlash releasing that Klothys art. Likely had a pre-written explanation/apology ready about ancient Greek attire and all that jazz

In greek attire women where heavy clothed and covered. They tradition wore head veils, Chitons (and with only the arms allowed to show) and even underwear. It was forbid for woman to be dressed any less unless in public baths or at home.
Men where often nude in public.

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.
I can't take any of the pearl clutching seriously when I haven't seen any one of you pearl clutching about scantily clad females. In fact it's hypocritical to be calling for more semi-naked ladies while complaining about a man without a shirt on which is much more common irl than women running around in war bikinis

These elves are like He-Man characters. Everyone in the entire world is ripped with rippling muscles.
Yes, and???
This really is just a strong uncommon with legendary tacked on. But sure, a 3/2 menace for 3 that draws a card sometimes in limited and very often if you can build your deck around it. Good enough, and maybe even some constructed implications?

Good catch anyway. Maybe some story details will pop up that explain how he is not a legitimate king or something, though, which would be annoying in my view...
Should have been rare and slightly more powered (like "all" elves instead) and we would have a seller that could rival Sylvan Messenger.
Artwork, typically sexualized male.
Fantasy artwork was always beefcake and I guess that this will never really change.
On the other side I remember the negative remarks in the past that Tasigur looks too skinny and the last two Radhas are too heavy.
So it seems that muscular builds are more preferable in general by the audience.

I don't know. I can see male representation change as well as female. As you noted there are encouraging sights of more featured body shapes. But I wouldn't expect that change to start on on the Heavy Metal plane of all places - male power fantasies are woven into that genre from its inception. Physical fitness especially has been written into the back-story of those characters as well.
Though more beer bellies would be a hilarious reflection on the reality of the actual demographics of Metalheads.

Quote from Conuly »
Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
If he is a king, why doesn't he have the noble subtype?
They have said that Noble will mostly be given to creature that don't have another "job". So far the only one that breaks this is Queen of Ice.

How is it hypocritical? What if I want more scantily clad people on both sides? Peronally I'm not "pearl-clutching" for less scantily clad males, I want more of both!

If you're looking for soft core porn and near nude models there are other websites for that. We don't need to sexually gratify anyone with a 13+ card game. That's not what this game is for. If seeing a male character with a shirt off means you feel entitled to near nude women in a card game meant to be acceptable for children then idk what to tell you.
Meet Tyvar Kell's brother King Harald, uniter of the wood and shadow elves, premier of the Einar. . . fixer of your draws and 3/2 menace creatue. Huh.
Low-power cube enthusiast!

I like the name Harald but it should heve been used for a human character, not a elf. Harald is a typical name for a gruff viking warrior-king, not a faeric Alfar.
Except for the females, where we can only imagine them because apparently to WOTC the female body is somewhat of a taboo?

It could be even worse: Siegfried, Heinrich or Friedrich.
Getting flashbacks from back when Lord was still a type during Ravnica and Chorus of the Conclave received it, but not Szadek, Lord of Secrets. Or how the guild that got the Riot mechanic is not the same as the one led by Rakdos, Lord of Riots...
