Ban death mark while your at it, if I see a person of Color playing this card I will say he is a racist as it is a black card that kills white creatures.........obviously I’m not being serious here, everyone on this planet is a hypocryte or has been a hypocryte, including me.

I find the hypocrisy in the reactions to the GF murder as sickening as the event itself. In the past few days, we’ve seen corporates – many with questionable supply chains and recruitment practices – falling over themselves to align their 'message' with public sentiment. A constant circle-jerk of ankle biting celebs extolling their own ‘wokeness’ by publicly rejecting racism and slavery while wearing appropriated fashions and diamonds to camera that you can bet were pulled from the earth by questionable means. And, ‘protesters’ ripping down symbols to historical slavery then posting their efforts to ‘insta’ using phones manufactured by firms that rely on modern day slavery practices to preserve their profit lines.

Then we have the decision by the bbc and certain stars to pull any content that could be deemed offensive. Do they really expect us to believe this is an entirely conscious decision driving by authentic guilt, rather than an act of self-preservation?

A lot of people live in glass houses and need to look at themselves before they start throwing stones.

Reaction after virtuous reaction. All heat no light.

Before this thread gets closed: It's important to realize that some of these cards weren't banned just for art - ALL of these cards were banned for the sole purpose of denying racists any pleasure from getting to play them. The text on some of these cards itself is problematic when taken out of context, and we all know there are some unfortunate souls playing magic who will take this text out of context as a "joke" - let's deny them that pleasure, please!

In reality this does the exact opposite.

The cards are almost everywhere sold out.

They got a massive attention boost and people will just oppose this nonsense.

WotC made itself a laughing stock, more than they already are with this action.

Claiming racism in specific cards and ignoring anything else on other cards is not consistent and flooding the banned lists with cards for "racist" reasons is just pathetic and stupid, as it gives these cards even more attention (barely anybody that isnt a long term player knew these cards existed, and with this action everyone will know them for as long as they are banned).

This entire show is just pandering to a woke ideology that is just not doing anything good for the world, but spread chaos, destruction, and hurts people.

The exact opposite is needed, bringing people together, this just divides it even more.

F***ing stupid token gesture, cheap and hypocritical.

Invoke Prejudice - OK, this card is repeatedly mentioned, and should have been gone long ago. They were doing nothing for 25 years.

But Cleanse? Crusade? What the actual heck?

What will follow? All "hate cards" towards black are banned? All cards saying "nonwhite" are going to be banned?

This is nothing more but a no-cost empty gesture, trying to ride on the current waves of public opinion.

I'd like more to see them address the recent reports of discrimination regarding the jobs, intentionally not employing black or Asian artists / content creators, etc. Not these cheap shots.

Shame.
