Banlist updated for cards depicting racism
As a response to the recent article from Wizards of The Coast: Depictions of Racism in Magic
We have done changes to the banlist, changed the multiverse Id of Invoke Prejudice, and also removed all the card art of the cards mentioned in the above article.
The following cards are now banned from constructed formats:
Card art has been wiped from our servers, if you still see them in your browser it is because they have been cached. Force refresh or ctrl+F5 should fix this issue.
Quote from Wizards article:
"Today, we will be changing the multiverse ID and removing the Gatherer card image for the card Invoke Prejudice, originally printed in 1994. The card is racist and made even worse by the multiverse ID it was unfortunately codified with years ago. There's no place for racism in our game, nor anywhere else.
But to that point, it should never have been published nor placed in the Gatherer. And for that we are sorry. The events of the past weeks and the ongoing conversation about how we can better support people of color have caused us to examine ourselves, our actions, and our inactions. We appreciate everyone helping us to recognize when we fall short. We should have been better, we can be better, and we will be better.
There's much more work to be done as we continue to make our games, communities, and company more inclusive. Know that we work every day to be better and that we hear you. We look forward to sharing more of our plans with you as our games and organization evolve."
