because most egyptian dynasties were sand colored and with greek influence later. not all egyptians were nubian.

>>46766121
I mean, they'd be mostly Egyptian looking rather than black people, but black people and lighter skin Arabs would be significant minorities. Maybe even some swarthy whites from when the Greeks took over.

Otherwise, white people would really be the historical innacurracy. Excluding Romans after they took up shop.

while not all Egyptians were Nubian, "most" weren't sand colored as you say. The dynasties in which the sphinx and pyramids were built featured the darker egyptians. We are closer in time to Cleopatra than she was to the creation of the pyramids. Thats just to put into perspective how long the Nubian-Egypt ruled.

>At the UNESCO "Symposium on the Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of the Meroitic Script" in Cairo in 1974, the Black Hypothesis met with "profound" disagreement.[25] Most participants concluded that the Ancient Egyptian population was indigenous to the Nile Valley, and was made up of people from north and south of the Sahara who were differentiated by their color.[26] The arguments for all sides are recorded in the UNESCO publication General History of Africa,[27] with the "Origin of the Egyptians" chapter being written by Cheikh Anta Diop.

>In 1975, the mummy of Ramesses II was taken to France for preservation. The mummy was also forensically tested by Professor Pierre-Fernand Ceccaldi, the chief forensic scientist at the Criminal Identification Laboratory of Paris. Professor Ceccaldi determined that: "Hair, astonishingly preserved, showed some complementary data - especially about pigmentation: Ramses II was a Red haired 'cymnotriche leucoderma'." The description given here refers to a fair-skinned person with wavy Red hair.[28][29]

That all sounds pretty fun and cool actually.

Black tribal humans kind of makes sense to me. We're a very ambitious species. Look at the pyramids. We accomplish so much through making other humans suffer. Black works just fine for humans, especially in a not!egypt setting.

That said, I think white/black tribal humans would be better. Humans are very community based, even as we're fucking each other over.

I wouldn't care if there are gay/trans gods/sphinxes/monsters, because I don't sexualize card game characters. I simply don't give a shit what planeswalker genitals look like.

Fuck yea, I loved Ravnica. A symbol change for Boros wouldn't bother me if they wrote a good reason into the story.

Enjoy your (You).

>>46765887
We just had Return to Ravnica and nobody raised a fuss over the Boros symbol. Take your (you) and get ye gone.

Innistrad is actually a massive fucking plane. It's implied that Innistrad itself (what we've seen so far: Kessig, Stensia, etc.) is just one continent of several. The minorities depicted on Innistrad cards are mostly immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

Made me chuckle/10

On a different note, why the fuck are people so obsessed with Ravnica? Seems like most the fanboys of the setting are newfags who only were around for Return to Ravnica and all go hype for it just because they heard OG Ravnica was amazing. Honestly the plane is overrated as fuck and it's annoying that Wizards constantly refers back to it like how they push the fuck out of Theros like it's a landmark in Magic history in commander products and shit.

Red hair is actually possible amonst the blacks, there are also those one black people with the golden eyes. Its not our fault all those people were murdered by the ancestors of the current egyptian population.

For the first time in the history of the multiverse two male planeswalkers went looking for mates, a plane was almost destroyed and a multi dimensional species that existed for millenia was almost brought to extinction. Shits getting really weird in magic, just go with it imo.

Well, as far as I know that is the majority population of their target market.

But I do porn commissions for furred which should tell you about how Capitalism drives acceptance. The only colour that really matters is green.
>>
Enough people are complaining about the cards saying "he or she" that I suspect WotC will end up changing their policy to instead use "they" or, if they really want to pander to their suggestions, the awful "he, she, or other" designation.

That's the only bit of political correctness that would make me sad, things like that and WotC trying to scrub the terms "manlands" from existence. It's dumb to warp game lingo for things that won't offend any reasonable person. But I don't give a fuck if a sphinx has a mangina or whatever, who cares.
>>
>>46766203
You're not wrong. Remember that thread trying to stir up complaints because the assassin who killed King Brago was a woman? Stop the fucking presses etc.
I'm relatively certain that was a troll thread at least but in a world where people complain about sphinxes of all things having african features is a world where you can be sure of nothing.
>>
>>46770439
I'd prefer they, not because of gender acceptance, but because "he or she" always seemed clunky.
>>
>>46770439
Trying to take back community words like manlands is fucking retarded, wotc is within their rights to ban the bugs n thugs kind of shit unfortunately.
>>
>>46770439
i think tabak once said they can't use singular they for rules text because it's too ambiguous.

If magic goes full sjw, i guess i will just have to sell off my decks and put a down payment on a new car.

>>46770634
"He or she" was used specifically in an attempt to broadcast 'hey this is a game not just for dudes', ironically. It's just that political correctness has advanced to a point that being specifically inclusive toward both male and females is apparently by default not being inclusive to everyone else.

I just think it's a silly non-issue that very, very few people will actually be offended by or turned off of the game because of, and people in the headspace to take the use of "he or she" as a pointed insult would probably find something else they consider personally antagonistic. It's a completely innocuous descriptor and part of the game's vernacular, and would require a ridiculous amount of errata to change to appease those handful of people.

>>46770694
WotC's panic around the term "manlands" really irks me the most, too. It has no negative implication or possible sexist undertone, unless you consider the word "man" itself as problematic. I think WotC's reasoning is, again, not wanting people to think Magic is a game only for male players, but trying to force the community to not use the word "man" seems like such a fumble that probably again only appeases a few extremely touchy, unreasonable people.

>>46765887

Such a wonderful fanfic full of this manchild dissatisfaction thing you have going. And this insane perception of an invisible enemy in every dark corner making everything PC and bland to you.

Go insert your personal politics and narrative into something that isn't a children's card game. I'm sure it will make a stunning conspiracy thriller for the Trump-voting demographic. 'Cause no one else gives a fuck about you grognards whining that the gays, the blacks, and the women are ruining anything.

I actually enjoyed the Vulshok of Mirrodin more than the other human tribes.
>>
>>46770870
It is a game only for male players. Women are arrested if they buy the cards and there are paki rape gangs at tournaments to keep the women folk out. Being caught with a card and a vagina carries a $5000 fine and three years in jail. Transwomen and Transmen count as "Honorary men" of course.

No wait, that's not how it works.
