Make Wizards of the Coast replace Invoke Prejudice cards they banned.

Make Wizards of the Coast replace Invoke Prejudice cards they banned.

The Issue

Wizards of the Coast recently banned many cards  printed 25 years due to recent feelings that the artwork is somehow offensive, regardless of the context of the art. 

As the owner of multiple copies of one of these cards, I am petitioning wizards to rectify the mistake THEY made and have admitted to making by replacing the cards with replacement copies with less offensive artwork. Banning a card for having artwork THEY approved has caused undue financial distress to the owners of these cards, which in my opinion, and possibly in the opinion of the law, makes them liable for replacement of said product. 

I am requesting that for every copy we turn in, they replace it with a new version with tournament acceptable art, with a promise that this version will stay allowable. This may not be the case with other cards whose names are the problematic issue, but this card is being banned not for its actual artistic content, but for the artist it is associated with and what people assume it depicts.

It is the least wizards can do as an apology for robbing their customers of the use of a card that they themselves approved the art for. Banning the card is just the first step: replacing the copies with an acceptable version is how you rectify it.
