Of course religions are unreasonable and stupid, but you give them too much of a platform in your brain by blowing that out of proportion. What happened shouldnt really bother you.

its part of a larger problem where the devs dont have a good handle on the game anymore and are only capable of making a coherent block of cards for modern and any other cards have game breaking implications for formats like commander. because in a library of 10k+ cards there are so many unintended consequences. but the devs dont even try and combat this, instead they want shiny new toys, so they cart out silly new mechanics to try and get people into modern and card cracking. the commander format leadership does an OK job with bans, but the format is still not worth playing competitively because any game has high % chance to go infinite combo on like turn 3.

easily triggered?

everything I don't like is transgender - Goomshill

Hey this is kind of reminding me of the Evangelicals calling everything they don't like Satanic in the 90s. You're just like em.

Maybe you aren't familiar with the MTG landscape but you throw a stick in the air and it lands on a militant tranny. The trannies have ousted multiple artists and professional players, tried to assassinate one right wing e-celeb and have full control over the game's direction and messaging. Do you have any idea how preposterously overrepresented trannies are in magic? I dare you to poke your head into your local game store on a game night and see it. Hell, just smell it. Pretty sure it will be the spitting image of this;

I'm surprised adults are even having a conversation about MTG in 2025. That was a kiddy fantasy card game when kiddy card game and Mc Donald's card game meetups were cool. Had a MTG deck in 99.

My nerdy coworkers old school game, but MTG not among the picks.

I assume the IP died and some cultist trannies put it on life support

According to the Bible, can you define what is and what isn't Satanic?

I'll pray to Satan for you.

Its still a billion dollar industry squeezing coins of out whales, and I've always been fascinated by it as a case study in a game run amok by disastrous management. I wouldn't go near an MTG table if you paid me, but I watch them like Jane Goodall and I've kept it up. I think the last card I bought was also in the 1990s. They'll put transgender cards in sets, retconned their entire Indian themed plane because it translated to "black land", and fired a lesbian artist because she had liked posts by feminist activists on twitter. At the same time they are printing about 8x more volume of cards per year, releasing serialized cards and a dozen different premium products about every week, print absolutely busted chase cards worth hundreds and ban them months later, have totally degenerated all the formats with standard average game length dropping from turn ~4-8 to turn ~3-4 and the player who goes first now having a 75%+ chance to win
