Wizards Of The Coast Replaces Words Like “Totem” and “Tribal” with “Umbra” And “Kindred” In New Wokeness Push For Magic: The Gathering

Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic: The Gathering, has made many terrible decisions over the years, and in recent times, those have catered toward the woke niche in gaming. With the unveiling of recent sets, Magic The Gathering has changed terms on their cards in order to continue their spiral into identity politics.

Magic: The Gathering is one of the worst woke properties out there. They first were noticed in such a realm by the banning of popular YouTuber, The Quartering, from their events—going so far as to take his digital card collection from him worth thousands of dollars on their MTG Online app, claiming he violated their Terms of Service. This amounted to Wizards of the Coast stalking The Quartering across Twitter and YouTube and not liking his content to make this over-the-line anti-consumer decision.

Most notably, however, Magic: The Gathering made news in the Lord of the Rings community when they made a set of Lord of the Rings themed cards featuring the hero Aragon—with one substantive change. They turned the popular Tolkien character into a black man.

This is one of the oddest race-swaps in media, as Middle Earth is an allegory for medieval England, and the characters involved are clearly meant to be Caucasian. That doesn’t stop a company from Wizards of the Coast from blackwashing their content.

Now, they’ve gone a step further, removing words that they deem offensive or culturally appropriating in the name of their woke crusade.

Wizards of the Coast posted to their website regarding the Khans of Tarkir set release via Magic: The Gathering Arena updates, saying: “Additionally, we will be making a few terminology changes in upcoming sets these will include the following: “Umbra armor” will replace “totem armor” as a keyword ability. “Kindred” will replace “tribal” as a card type. “Snake” will replace “Naga” as a subtype.”

These terminology changes are meant to take words that sound like they’re cultural involving different minority groups, and soften the terms in the name of political correctness.

The cards have already rolled out with Umbra Amor attached to them, taking out the word Totem, which implies shamanistic activity and, therefore, in the minds of the woke Wizards Of The Coast, must be some form of cultural appropriation. Totem Armor, now Umbra Armor, has the keyword ability, “(If enchanted permanent would be destroyed, instead remove all damage marked on it and destroy this Aura.)”

As Wizards of the Coast has gone out of its way to change these cards and also remove cards from its game like “Invoke Prejudice” in order to appease the woke mob, Magic The Gathering sinks to new lows.
