Back in May/June of 2020, they scrubbed cars deemed racist. One card “Invoke Prejudice” corresponded to a URL that contained an obscure neo-Nazi symbol.

Geek culture has a nasty side to it. Maybe they found more where that came from, or maybe they just didn’t want the press.

I don't know about URL, but the card had very blatant symbology and WOTC were rightfully ashamed of it.

I don’t know if it was just the imagery - the card itself “Invoke Prejudice” removed all opponents players of a different color.

I could see some very inappropriate banter happening if a player used it - regardless of the imagery.

The imagery was the obvious outcome of the card’s functionality.

Your story is true, but I think this is far too broad a loss to be something like that, even providing a smokescreen. An article I wrote has been lost, and there's nothing controversial in there!
