"someone (Jeremy) had the audacity to criticize someone (Christine)and Criticism is Not Harassment no matter how some people wish to construe it as such."
Jeremy went far beyond objective criticism and publicly persecuted Christine for nearly a year. He may not have personally hounded her with hateful private messages, but his actions directly resulted in months of direct online harassment from his fan base. You can't seriously look at all the crap Jeremy said and not call it harassment. When you hold that much influence over such a large congregation of people, you have a basic responsibility to not give them the idea that these sorts of heinous actions are socially acceptable. He could have easily criticized Christine without his plethora of disparaging personal remarks against her, and without encouraging thousands of his followers to constantly flame her. The fact that he did do these things, and unapologetically so, is what makes it harassment.
"The protests, mobs, riots all a sign that someone is incapable of accepting the opinion of others."
You mean accepting the opinion that bullying, harassing, and dehumanizing innocent human beings is okay? Yeah no, that sort of mentality has no place in our society, and entertaining that line of thinking will only hold us back as a species.
"someone who disagreed with the Nazi party during there rain ended up at best in a concentration camp at worst with a bullet in there head."
If you think the experience of a Nazi concentration camp is the best case scenario compared to a quick and painless death, then I can't even fathom how detached you are from reality. I encourage you to quantum-leap into the body of an emaciated Jewish concentration camp prisoner circa 1944 and ask yourself, "Is this better than not suffering at all?"
"but the moment you stop respecting the opinion of others and start attacking, harassing them, posting there personal info and calling for a public lynching joust because thy sad something you don't agree with, that is the point I stop respecting you, that is the point you have become a Nazi"
Is that not exactly what Jeremy did?
"people can not differentiate between Nazi and centre right"
Actually, as the years have progressed, our Overton Window has been shifting steadily to the right. Democratic socialism (a mild leftist ideology) has become regarded as far-left, and centrism has become regarded as center-left. On the other side, traditional conservatism has shifted to the center of America's political spectrum, with semi-fascist ideologies occupying the moderate- to far-right.
In other words, the more that neo-Nazi ideologies become normalized and accepted as a valid political platform, the closer the center right drifts toward Nazism.
I don't call right-thinkers Nazis. I call Nazis Nazis. I know a lot of Trump voters with opinions that I strongly disagree with, and I don't call them Nazis because they're not Nazis. They don't believe in things like a one-party government or ethnic cleansing or the removal of basic human rights (except maybe health care, but that's an entirely different can of worms), so I can't in good conscience call them Nazis.
Do I think Jeremy is a Nazi? Not at the moment, because he hasn't shown me any reason to think he's a Nazi. But I do think he's a scumbag with a startling lack of empathy for other humans, and that his career as a psychologically abusive and hate-mongering content creator should be completely and utterly destroyed.

The funny thing is that Mark Rosewater said that the reason why this doesn't target is specifically because of Lotus Field, lol
Definitely not good enough for Pioneer or Modern, but still decent in Standard
Hahahaha good one!
This IS a troll post, right?
Ryperior: *complains about it not being black for some reason*
Lol welp glad to see I wasn't disappointed
So you wanted the card that was designed around charitable contributions to include black? When RGWU is canonically confirmed to be the color combination of altruism??
These cards weren't designed to be playable cards for the community. They're not just going to make it black for no reason.
Heroes of Kamigawa is the second HTR card we've seen that refers to a booster pile. Seems like a neat design space, maybe we'll eventually see it in a future Conspiracy product?
The thing I like about Elusen is that she turns donating permanents into a keyword, which is something that could feasibly happen in black border Magic.
Svega is a perfect design for a convention-themed planeswalker, and I love how her -X reflects the five cosplay mainstays at the Magic Cons (Taalia Vess as Elspeth, TeferiMagic as Teferi, Olivia Gobert-Hicks as Liliana/Onyx, TappyToeClaws as Chandra, and TanakhT as Garruk).
Wizard From Beyond is a super neat card, albeit kinda boring.
I wonder what the first HTR card for this year is.
What did Wilds of Eldraine have to do with anime?
The thing is that it logically makes very little sense to make The Fourteenth Doctor anything other than RGWU, since the first thirteen Doctors are all in those colors. Yeah sure, players could add a doctor's companion to fill in the missing color if he was different colors, but why should their companion options be restricted in order to incorporate all the Doctors into their deck? This color combination allows players to play The Fourteenth Doctor with basically any companion while still getting to play all the cards in the precons with Doctor synergies, and also retaining their ability to add black through Clara Oswald or Vislor Turlough if they wish.
But instead, you want to sacrifice that convenience and accessibility and have him be different colors because... we don't have enough commanders in the other 4-color combinations? I guarantee you that players would have been way more upset if The Fourteenth Doctor couldn't naturally include all the other Doctors without being shoehorned into playing a companion to unlock a huge chunk of the WHO cards.
"But Foam-Dome," you may be thinking, "aren't they shoehorning us into using one of only two companions in order to play 5 color?"
Yes, they are. But playing black in a Fourteenth Doctor deck is an option that is entirely unnecessary. Many players who want to build Fourteenth Doctor are going to want to include the previous thirteen, and black is the only color that they don't NEED in order to do that. On the other hand, having black is a largely useless color for the purpose of playing all the Doctors, so I imagine it would mostly lead to player frustration.
What, so because WotC has already made more RGWU legends, you think they shouldn't print a Doctor Who card that lets us play with all the Doctors in the same deck? That's a silly thing to say.
"Hey Wizards, you shouldn't be doing more of X unless you've done more of Y!"
They've made it quite well known that 4-color cards are very challenging to design from both a mechanical and flavor standpoint, so you should be grateful that you're getting more of them at all.
I'm aware. My point was more that you risk looking kinda silly by complaining about the "first" proper Jeskai artifact commander in PIP when there were at least two unspoiled sets slated to come out before it.
I do agree though, Tetzin has been pretty sweet so far.
I guess Tetzin, Gnome Champion isn't proper enough?
