It's always crazy to see people act like ONE interpretation of any oh so sacred SoUrCe MaTeRiAl undoes anything that came before it... At their limit yelling at a black person on a piece of cardboard, while their arms are full of all prior representations that still are there for them to cherish.
I for one have been thrilled to see this set make so many people, myself included, feel represented and delighted to see fantasy figures that look like us. Jfc it's a card game... imagine that being the breaking point! Very steaming hot takes in here. When the real issue should be how funny that the sigil of rohan has taken smoky form in the art! Lol
What an odd situation all around. Like, he does art for Magic already, how or why would he think it's okay to pull that? That seems extremely ooc for a working artist.
Relax, he didn't say anything about not using tropes. He's just saying it's not a reskin of an existing property. Like how Theros is a reskin of greek mythology rather than being their own take on mythology as a medium.
Will it have deus ex machina spells, and important objects to drive the story, and guilds/houses/dark wizards/fantastic beasts? Yes. Because this is their take on the genre and those are tropes that exist in the genre. He just literally means (and literally says) there isn't going to be reskins aka intentional parallel versions of any one of the existing magic school takes.
I love products like this because they get all the right people super upset lol.
There's always comfort in knowing the vocal minority of backwards ass people are a losing and dying breed. The world is (has been) moving forward with them throwing a fit in it, or simply without them.
This is the old question "Why isn't there a White History Month?" rephrased. There are tons of products that target or glorify men in Magic's history. It's called "Virtually every set".
Right???? Lmao what a hot take. Stick to the sea monsters

It's explained in the link and by the artist in the past that she is racially ambiguous.
