“Look at a typical Magic set today,” McMullen said, “There are black characters in the world inspired by Greek mythology. We spent a year on worlds inspired by Asian cultures. There are women warriors, women wizards, women sages, and women goblins. Whoever you are, you can see yourself in the game.”

I believe /tg/ called it first. This is the future you choose.
I don't understand what the problem is.
What's your point.
That's a rhetorical question, no one cares.
>>46095962
Yeah, sounds good to me. I want Magic to be more inclusive, it means more people will play it.
>>46095962
Black Theros didn't bother me, but Innistrad being full of stealth negroes that have only now revealed themselves just feels decidedly weird.
>>46095912
>Whoever you are, you can see yourself in the game
Except straight white males.
How many of those exist in Magic, anyway?
oh no, the SJWs won, boo, etc.
happy now OP?
>>46095912
>We spent a year on worlds inspired by Asian cultures.
Yes and last time that actually happened and was 100% asian inspired everyone hated it.
>>46095993
This.
Theros being all black was OK (I'd have enjoyed it more if it was actually med people, but >anglos).
Innistrad suddenly being filled with black people everywhere is weird as fuck, they look horribly out of place.
>>46096054
The funny thing is that whilst Innistrad is Germanic as fuck and should be all white I actually wouldn't mind some oriental people, Snapcaster didn't look hugely out of place.
But still, it's hugely weird to see a world of villages huddled together fearing the outsider and suddenly a load of African Americans are running around like they've always been there.
>>46095993
Innistrad had black people in it the first time around, retard.
>>46096054
>suddenly
you guys clearly were not paying attention last time.
>>46096054
There were black people in original innistrad too, dawg.
>>46095993
This is anon is pretty spot on, black Theros would of been better as Mediterranean Theros, but everyone would of just seen it as tan white guys. Spoopy negros in a set that never had spoopy negros is jarring and just goes to show Wizards ham handedly applying minorities in places they don't have to be.
>>46096114
Oh yeah, that one negro int he front of Incorrigible Youths right?
I completely forgot
Because it was one card and werewolves sucked so utterly.
>>46096128
But they HAVE to be there because the alternative is a white society without significant black population.
Impossible to have that today.
>>46096146
Grizzled Outcasts, derp.
>>46096031
>>46095962
>>46095966
Well can't say /tg/ still have a cuck population.
Yeah, those new policies are bullshit.
It's completely forced. Minorities shouldn't have quotas, it's degrading. Just give them a setting and we get done with it.WE WUZ KINGS
>>46096115
>>46096116
It did look quite out of place there too.
Same with everyone in theros being african and suddenly some guys that are 100% aryan european with a black coat over them and some others just looked Mediterranean. It's a cohesivity issue. It'd be the same if in kamigawa we suddenly had an tercio out of nowhere with zero explanation.
>>46096373
Oh your from /tv/
If you don't like it, give your money to a different company.
I like how he mentioned "we wuz philosophers" instead of fucking Mirage.
>>46096546
>>46096629
RETURN TO MIRAGE WHEN.
COME HERE TEFERI AND TELL US NOT TO GO INTO YOUR ISLAND.
>>46095912
I feel bad that when it came time to make an Ancient Greek themed set they weren't actually based on Greek People.
But I guess the Greeks can't afford Magic cards.
>>46096563
Well seems that I got myself caught. Now what is the next part of your master plan?
>>46096680
>Be med
>Never get an xpac
>Finally get one
>Lol all meds are africans x-D
Fucking WOTC racists.
>>46096680
Imagine a Greek person contacting Magic and asking why Greek-Land isn't full of Greeks.
Imagine them then asking who they're supposed to identify with, since everywhere else is either pure black, Asian, or clearly some shade of lily white.
>>46096651
>wanting them to go anywhere near Mirage's nations with their modern art direction
>>46096722
Contact them on Tumblr or their website, they've always been quick to contact people who thanked them for their inclusion of brown or autistic people.
Speaking of, what is the racial composition of WotC? How many minorities or women do they have?
>>46096776
>Lol but meds r lik white x-D
>Pizza is my favorite!!!
>>46096827
That's not really wrong. Unless you're a part of one of the very few neolithic European peoples left, everyone else is Indo-European. Including the meds.
>>46096889
>Meds are white
No, please stay go prawn-person.
t. med.
Real talk; is there actually a setting in Magic that's entirely white?
I mean we got plenty of pure Asian or pure black societies, are there any pure white ones?
>>46097072
OP here, here's the question.
Are there purely white worlds?
>>46097072
I don't know why you'd want a racist society
>>46097150
Racism can go both ways.

>>46096018
Like a fucking million you blind fucker. Go back to /pol/ and cry some more you little bitch faggot.
>>46096903
Listen. I know a lot of people on /pol/ like to shitpost, but basically every nation in continental Europe is strongly Indo-European with some Neolithic influence. There are of course ethnic minorities that don't fit that bill, but most do.
>>46096563
Just report him, dummy.
>>46097396
Spaniard here.
We are NOT white. Please stop racism.
Also north africa is med too, not my fault you are an uber racist tumblerina
>>46098028
You may not be, but a lot of ethnic Spaniards are.
Though Spain has a long history of involvement by different cultures.
I'm a huge racist and I don't see the problem. They're pictures in a children's card game. You should only care if it somehow ruins the setting, but I haven't seen any instances of that happening. They're just putting black people in their fictional universes. It's not like they retconned Jace into a nigger.It kind of bothers me that Chandra's mother is indian as fuck when Chandra herself looks like a pure porcelain white irish girl who presumably poos in the loo.
>>46098129
>lemme, like tell u about ur contry
Nope? Get bent racist tumblerina and go into >>>/pol/ they are as racist as you are.
>>46098207
>>46098129
Other Spaniard here, I come here to confirm this, don't let tumblr fool you we're not really white, normally a varying shade of brown/tan. White people cannot than you burn.
>>46097211
Ice age is dominaria you dummy.
>>46097433
Mr Pavel refused too cooperate too.
>people like to see characters that resemble themselves in the products they buy
WOOOOW OP
>>46097221
Yes, these comic books resemble me allright.
>>46097362
You have a lot of rage there, friend. Did the gender studies teacher touch your bad place?
>>46096113
>African Americans
No. They are not from America nor are they of African descent. They're must black skinned people.
>>46098207
Well, considering I'm educated on the subject and am qualified to teach on it, yes. I will tell you about your country.
I also probably know more about ancient italy than any living Italians too, giving who I studied under.

Underrated post.

Sadly not. Most people don't know shit about anything, and surround themselves with whatever myths make them comfortable.
>>46097362
Obvious false flag / reverse troll.
Try harder, /pol/
Op here, I can't belive how dead is /tg/ that this thread is still alive. So I will bump it.
>>46095912
this is going to be a new shitpost isn't it
I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'm gonna see 3 new threads with the exact OP image and text.
>>46095912
I always thought that people who can only 'see themselves' in a character exactly like themselves were batshit.
>>46098473
Not everyone is Irish, anon.
>>46106382
but he directly quoted the source
>people think the problem is diversity
The problem is that it's being prostituted for free money and support and being used as a shield to hide behind whenever the quality of content is questioned.
I don't give a fuck if Dumblefuck the Warlock has tits or is black or thinks he's a girl. I care if it's a good card which works well with a thematically apropos deck and doesn't completely invalidate entire playstyles.
>>46106455
The problem is diversity for pandering's sake and not diversity born naturally out of a setting with creative vision that includes natural places for various kinds of people who you show off in your art when appropriate.
>>46106503
>The problem is that it's being prostituted
Well, thanks for using thirty-six words to say what I said in seven words.
>>46106455
Lone Ranger had a native American sidekick because they're weird and mysterious to old white people and they figured they would throw liberals a bone to make them spend money on westerns
Jackie Chan made his career because he appeals to white people while still attracting a minority audience
Were you literally born yesterday? Shoehorning minorities into media to improve your diversity quotient is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
>>46106818
So's cutting your food with cheap, poisonous ingredients to save cash.

It seems most of you are new to /tg/ mtg posts. You see fellows 2 years ago a lot, and I meant a lot of the /tg/ mtg threads were complaining about how instead of mediterraneans on Theros we got black people. Today I stumbled with this article and remembered that and went straight away to here. No OP is not a racist, but he just rememembered /tg/'s opinion in the subject. Now Liberals are screaming with joy. whats next? An aztec like expansion full of european esque people? You guys figure.

And this thread is original, not the conventional shitpost.
>>46098205
She's also basically the only person on her homeplane capable of using actual magic instead of just being an artificer - which may actually have something to do with the fact that she looks different than anyone else.
She may well be essentially the magical equivalent of an albino on that plane, only it involves a lot less staying out of the sun and a lot more burning other things
>>46107255
original shitposting is still shitpostingthanks for the effort though
>>46096114
That nigga's outfit is fab as fuck, hair's fresh too.
.......But why he gotta turn into a BLACK wolf?
