In before Tiro actually hates this card because it's not exactly what he imagined Arixmethes being. -

As a biracial individual, statements like this make me feel unwelcome on MTGS. It's great that, even in my recreational pastimes, I get to encounter people who consider me some of sort affront to nature.Quote from robnixilis »Forced diversity sucks. White people are great. Black people are great. Asian people are great. etc. etc. etc. No one is better than anyone else. But stop trying to mix them together! -

Marquisd posted a message on Benalish MarshalNot to get to into how the sausage is made, but in sections when the content of a post isn't readily visible Ignoring a mod post stands out more. I apologize for how that came across.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Obviously this thread is going to be locked down, and I am going to going to be instituting a zero tolerance policy on ANY discussion of the racial and/or gender make up of people depicted on the cards. It's off topic and there is no way to have any sort of discussion that doesn't devolve into a garbage fire. -

theMarc posted a message on Benalish MarshalI, personally, tend not to really notice a character's skin color, until it's pointed out to me, inevitably by someone complaining that my ethnicity is somehow tainting their fictional world by being overrepresented.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
So, y'know, that's a great feeling. -

We're willing to accept that most characters in MTG were white in a time when white actors dominated media for nearly all important character roles that weren't stereotyped but now as media has evolved a couple of steps towards actually having important non-white roles we think it's some giant scheme to destroy white people in a fantasy game. It's almost like MTG's diversity has mirrored popular culture all along.

He isn't going to just say it. He is going to keep acting like Magic representation is based on the population of players in the game and not based on actually representing people because it's a good thing to do.Quote from Etherium Sage »Quote from Negator_402 »Some representation is fine. Forced, propaganda style overrepresentation is not fine. Black people are not a third of MTG players.
I'm still not getting your issue with black people being depicted more often on these cards.
"Forced propaganda". Oh no WOTC is forcing me to look at people who aren't white oh god. My mind is being overtaken by sjw propaganda.
The same people who have probably used the term special snowflake more than a few times in their lives are getting their panties in a twist when they see a black guy on a card. -

SimicNuggets posted a message on Benalish MarshalPeople just really be foaming at the mouth waiting for opportunities to jump in with complaints about diversity, even sadder when it's p.o.c.. Last I checked, Benalia isn't a real place. Simple as that. They can do whatever they want with it. Yet they've kept the core ideals and aesthetic. So how does skin color affect any of it? It doesn't, it only affects (triggers) your inner displeasure at seeing them. Check yourself. Wotc isn't "forcing" anything about diversity. It's called representation. Look it up.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Also, lol @ "people like us have money." Yikes.
The card is great and will fit well into my new Shalai anthem deck. <3 <3 -

Saskia being the "barbarian" to Licia's Roman? I'd dig that. -

Probably, because it's easier to design.

That's called Resonance. Did Innistrad make you mad too? We had Frankenstein's Monster, Jekyll & Hyde, The Fly etc.
