What. A. Joke. I can see it with the invoke prejudice. That ones on the nose. The others are all far reaching. You’ve got to make multiple assumptions in order to feel upset by any of these cards. You’ve got to literally be seeking out a reason to be upset about the card. Let alone the fact that the very vast majority of today’s players wouldn’t even know these cards existed before this stunt.
This is so typical of modern WOTC.

Banning art is stupid.
Plenty of magic art is either sexualized, has religious meaning, displays very explicit violence and people dying.
Theres literally a card called MURDER and Armageddon , and everyone should see them as what they are, fantasy.
Banning these cards provides them with even more exposure.
People will collect these cards explicitly because they are banned, they will be more sought after, just like the Death Corona Godzilla card was hyped up.
This stupid decision is pandering to the current media and nothing else.
Its a pathetic move, and it doesnt solve anything and doesnt do any good at all, even worse, it makes matters even worse, and so much art could be put in the very same category and if we fill the banned list with hundreds and hundreds of cards for THAT reason, it becomes a joke, and this just makes it entirely stupid.
Imagine 1 person in a shop playing with a card that is banned for racist reasons, some lunatics will claim they are racists, will hate them and even attack them, or throw them out of the store ; and people will celebrate that nonsense.
Its absolutely stupid, current events tit or tat, banning art that is 20+ years old for that kind of reasoning is dishonest and produces way more damage to the game in the foreseeable future.
Just imagine someone will see Incinerate or Disintegrate which very clearly and graphically displays a human being getting burned to crisps, or Suffocating Fumes which someone might associate that with the Holocaust, which gassed and burned human beings, the entire idea of poisoning and Phyrexia turning people into machine horrors is a nightmare fantasy.
There is literally a card called Torture, does that mean we are ok with torture ? We really think that card should be banned too, as we do not like torture ?
Slaughter Games displays the view of the victim of human eating cannibals. Are we ok with that too ? We need to ban that art too right ? As cannibalism is wrong. Theres literally Cannibalize.
Innocent Blood shows human sacrifice, are we cool with that ? Hope not ...
We then suddenly need to ban all cards with such a display ? Really ? We either need to be consistent with our morals or we dont get down that path and allow all art as what they are, pictures of a fantasy world.
Wake up people, these actions are absolute nonsense. -

Singe posted a message on Cards Banned for Racist Imagery and/or TextI don't agree with the decision since this comes off as to only score some points with certain people. However, by going down this route it will just lead to more and more cards getting the axe.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

Jiyor posted a message on Double Masters 2XM New reprint productAnd they still refuse to just make it a set to get the needed cards people want. Nope it sell has to be a draft set. Stop making everything draft WotC! Every f-ing set doesn’t need to be draft. Stop doing that for reprint focused sets....just f-ing stop!Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

I feel that "good" is too strong a word, here. "Playable" maybe. But not "good".Quote from Melkor »I'm sure it will be good in EDH. a technically discard and sacrifice outlet and some demons, it won't be good, but I'm sure some legendary creature is spiking in 3....2....1.... -

Huaojozu posted a message on [Cardmarket Spoiler] Plague EngineerPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from headminerve »MH1 isn't supposed to print only cards that can't fit in a standard-legal set.
So the purpose of MH1 is to print 10 cards that might be relevant for Modern and would break Standard, and then put 250 Modern-irrelevant cards or Standard-acceptable cards around it? Sounds like a great idea for a product. -

Because most of us want the game to be affordable. How is this even a question?
