We're willing to accept that most characters in MTG were white in a time when white actors dominated media for nearly all important character roles that weren't stereotyped but now as media has evolved a couple of steps towards actually having important non-white roles we think it's some giant scheme to destroy white people in a fantasy game. It's almost like MTG's diversity has mirrored popular culture all along.

He isn't going to just say it. He is going to keep acting like Magic representation is based on the population of players in the game and not based on actually representing people because it's a good thing to do.Quote from Etherium Sage »Quote from Negator_402 »Some representation is fine. Forced, propaganda style overrepresentation is not fine. Black people are not a third of MTG players.
I'm still not getting your issue with black people being depicted more often on these cards.
"Forced propaganda". Oh no WOTC is forcing me to look at people who aren't white oh god. My mind is being overtaken by sjw propaganda.
The same people who have probably used the term special snowflake more than a few times in their lives are getting their panties in a twist when they see a black guy on a card. -

SimicNuggets posted a message on Benalish MarshalPeople just really be foaming at the mouth waiting for opportunities to jump in with complaints about diversity, even sadder when it's p.o.c.. Last I checked, Benalia isn't a real place. Simple as that. They can do whatever they want with it. Yet they've kept the core ideals and aesthetic. So how does skin color affect any of it? It doesn't, it only affects (triggers) your inner displeasure at seeing them. Check yourself. Wotc isn't "forcing" anything about diversity. It's called representation. Look it up.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Also, lol @ "people like us have money." Yikes.
The card is great and will fit well into my new Shalai anthem deck. <3 <3 -

Considering how often I burn myself on pizza, I can attest that 2 damage is fairly accurate. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Really feels off, both perspective and composition.

As for Ravnica 3, masterpiece original dual lands would be very fitting, and this is the #1 thing people are requesting. It's not like they will start printing moxes right away, or ever.

I actually only play limited... and what I meant is that there is often overcosted removal in white at common for limited purposes, for example pacifism effects & variants at 3-5CC. I think an unconditional removal at 4mana comes late enough to not break anything, and balances out big bombs. Plus if it's common, you can o-ring their o-ring too. Of course, in a set with big dragons, I understand they might want to make removal less common, but I'm not sure how much this will be relevant in limited, there's plenty of ultra-efficient low-cost creatures now, it might end up being like Ixalan where ultra-fast pirate decks (hello cutlass) killed dino players before they could cast anything.

In any case, the intent SHOULD have been to make the text more inclusive, and then, if it makes it shorter, well that's super awesome as well.
Presenting something fundamental, such as being respectful and inclusive, as a kind of aftertought, is a bit lame, but hey, better than nothing I suppose.

They should have gone with stuff like
- Counter target spell that targets a target target player doesn't control
- Untap all tapped creatures target player controls then tap all untapped creatures target player doesn't control
and so on.
That would have been Very Cryptic Command
