Leave it to FlossedBeaver and others to perpetuate nontraversies and declare themselves "victorious" with flawed logic and data. It is no wonder why I don't post here as often anymore. Never change MTGS...
Although I am a bigger fan of Chippy's art for her, thank goodness they kept the art of Terese Nielson for Akroma, Angel of Wrath. For once, WOTC made the right decision there.
They want to feel cool and edgy because they don't care
You are correct, I simply don't care either way. No sane person will look at this and think negatively of WOTC. Again, if WOTC didn't want to be controversal about it, they should have said nothing and changed it beforehand. Now tell me who is the edgy one?
And not necessarily because of their"progressive views" or "sensitivity" but more because those attributes frequently appear in air quotes. An SJW frequently cares more about being seen doing the right thing than doing the right thing. When issues are over simplified or wrapped with a neat bow it's generally not going to lead to a good solution.
I would have also said because of their "progressive views" and "sensitivity" as you put, but yes, you did hit the nail right on the head.
There's literally no reason people should be complaining about this change.
Many have given valid reasons why the change should not occur. Honestly, if WOTC didn't want to make a scene about this, they would have done so quietly.
If they dont do one for international MENs Day i file a sexual harassment campaign against them.
I mean, we KNOW they won't. lol This is WOTC we are talking about here. Not that I really care personally though anyways.
All I want is that sweet, sweet, Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Narset, Enlightened Master for my own EDH decks, and I would probably give the others away to friends and family. Assuming I even bother to get one as I am saving up for my marriage.
Howard Lyon art! Yes! I love that he painted this moment with Daxos.
Yeah, after I learned about how toxic many SJW players became with the story surrounding Terese Nielsen that pretty much kicked out her out of MTG, Howard Lyon and Steve Argyle is now the only ones whose art I truly look forward to in this game. Just outstanding. Especially for this card.
I'd actually say she looks more like Tigerhawk from the Beast Wars.
My God bless that sweet, sweet chicken!
I should probably go get some tomorrow, actually.
Because they are not removing her art simply after all the "controversy" surrounding her, nor should they have any reason too.
Interesting retort.

Always has been, always will be.
It really is actually. Saskia the Unyielding and Narset, Enlightened Master is just a great bonus too, hence my earlier comment of wanting her. I love the artwork on all of them.
