Black's fine, that card is banned

Is it for racist reasons? I thought the crusades were a religious conquest with religion removed most of the time.

[-] Mudkipology@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Yep, a few years back they banned several cards with racially questionable connotations. The most egregious of which is straight up some KKK members.

Man that one is incredibly bad, I didn't get most of the other banning but this one is very fair

Is it really? I haven't played since ice age came out; I don't really know. I still remember having a bunch of those though

I once built one called Night of the Living Deck that was fully populated with zombie cards. It built out a cheap creature army and then relied on getting a card that turned a target land into a Swamp. Zombies had swamp walk, so at that point the entire army could march past the defenders and just wipe the opponent.

I built it as a joke but it actually played pretty well and won a decent number of times. The best part was how angry people would get from losing to such a basic deck.

I loved my zombie deck with multiple Grave Titans and several destroy cards, but once an opponent figured out how it worked, the next deck they brought out would pretty much shut me down.

Oh yeah, if they know it’s coming it’s pretty easy to counter. The fun part is surprising them with a deck that’s so stupid but can still win. For me, it summed up the zombie genre.

My strongest deck design was a control/millstone deck that just carved through everybody until Necropotence came out, and I couldn’t beat the speed on that one.

You can probably tell it’s been a while.

Please tell me you hummed the "Thriller" song during play.

I have no idea what this game is, but that card is a little insensitive

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Its an old Magic the Gathering card.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah man... poor yellow people.

Black should sacrifice two Pawns and play 'Feed the Swarm'.

Call the other player a racist as loudly as possible.

I used to have a black card that just instantly destroyed all white creature cards in play; even your own. Their numbers didn't matter. Just their color. I called it my reverse race card.

They could play that and just checkmate you instantly.

This might be one of the several obscure ones they banned for being in bad taste many years ago.
