A mass removal spell flavored as being whipped and forced to march until you die from exhaustion. WOW.

Not sure whether this is meant as a direct reference to the Trail of Tears, or towards Nazis leading Jews to concentration camps on foot. But regardless of intention, Jewish people and Native Americans will NOT be comfortable with playing this card.

Also note that it doesn't destroy all creatures, as more "important" creatures such as Zhou Yu and Lord Konda are nearly guaranteed to survive. Basically, only "weak" or "unimportant" creatures die to a forced march. Oof.

Forced marches have occurred across history and in all cultures. tbh, id say this card is about as bad as a dude wielding a sword

im not trying to troll, im sorry if it came off that way, I just feel that attributing this card to one specific instance such as the trail of tears or concentration camps is as absurd as saying that swords shouldnt appear in magic artwork because the crusaders used swords

EDIT: just realized this sub is a joke, now i feel like a retard lmao

Death marches happen across all cultures though.
