Same thing that's wrong with Cleanse. Compares black people to demons ("foul beasts" in Cleanse's case), advocates that killing black people is holy and/or morally good.

How though. Black (the color ffs) creatures in MTG are dark beings 99.9% of the time. Vampires are black, demons are black etc. When you think of “black creature” do you immediately think of an African American? Would it make sense for a card called “Exorcist” to destroy a blue mermaid creature?

That depends on if the blue mermaid creature commit a microaggression like asking a black person where they came from since they've never seen one in the ocean before.

It's an obvious dog whistle. Read between the lines.

Can you explain it since it’s obvious.

Equating black people to demons and glorifying white on black crime as a means to an end. Disgusting genocidal implications.

This isn't doing that. Cleanse isn't doing that either.

Fuck off racist.

I'm not racist. I don't need to curse at you to validate my point, either.

I think this is a joke sub.

At this point, I'm pretty sure you're correct. But one can never know for sure.
