re: Magic addressing problematic cards from the past. This is the mother of all unfortunate (fantastically racist) coincidences.

In Wizards' database (not the one linked here), the URL for this card was cardid=1488. The card has horrid art that I'd honestly never noticed before, and it turns out the artist has associations with white supremacist movements. This card was made in 1993. (He has not illustrated a card for Magic since 1997.)

I had never seen that card before today and I’ve been playing since Fallen Empires. -- nm - Qale Jun 10, 20:37 1

Yeah, that doesn't seem like coincidence to me. -- nm - David Jun 10, 19:33
