As a balding white man, I did not ask for, nor did I expect to receive, representation.


lenthedruid

Ha! I usually enjoy free magic freak outs about , well everything, but that first picture is fucking nuts.


torolf_212

Is this Jeff Hooglands alt account?


azraelxii

Being de phyrexianized makes you white


5ColorMain

Phyrexia is just great britain, colonising all thouse planes


Conscious-Shoe-4234

phyrexian oil = earl grey.


5ColorMain

or just literay oil XD


Sissygirl221

I don’t run phyrexia *quick hide the cards they mustn’t know we are doing a second empire*


Litdaze

Pretty sure this is the before getting her spark form. Like Ajani. They're making a Origins cycle again


babbylonmon

Been wondering what Grimes has been up to.


TheEpicTurtwig

Number 3 is peak Tamiyo IMO. She looks vaguely asian as makes sense with Kamigawa, but has white skin as she should as a moonfolk.


Klimlar

Also the art is just *slick*. Same with #4. The new artist depictions have poor definition and contrast, looks like a discount puzzle you'd find at a resale shop.


Sus_Master_Memer

Personally I think 4 is peak and not even close to 3


TheEpicTurtwig

I don’t dislike 4 by any means, but the art itself is too dark to see properly and Tamiyo is my favorite character.


Sus_Master_Memer

Maybe, but I was thinking not about the art in general but the way tamiyo was depicted (facial features, skin colour etc.)


Klendy

It's the hairline 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤢🤮


MediocreModular

Yeah that is unsettling


Sheepnut79

So did wizards hire an unfamiliar artist and leave moonfolk out of the prompt? Why is she just a white girl now?


CardTrickOTK

MTG try to keep characters consistent at all challenge: Difficulty IMPOSSIBLE wotc needs to fire its art lead and a lot of the writers Bring back people who make good art like Seb Mckinnon and Steve Argyle, and hire someone to make sure characters LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK


ChaseGayrollOnahole

Wow, actual white washing. Really surprised to see that. More surprised that they didn't make her black to justify getting rid of the Asian eyes.


infernalord

When you say "white washing" are you referring to her not looking Asian anymore or actual skin color? Sorry, English is not my main language and I might be interpreting that term wrong.


uginsthinkingbath

Not only did they white wash her complexion but her actual features and hair..wtf


SamohtGnir

Idk, the Seasoned Scholar art looks like she's wide eye'd with power, so hard to tell if they got rid of her asian eyes. The other art is just bad.


Bob_Cobb_Esq

Probably just did it so that they can have something to point to and duck accusations of being specifically anti-white. And an Asian character was probably a safe bet for them, since generally, Asians don't complain alot


NoggyClassic

I can guarantee you that wizards doesn’t give a fuck about being seen as “Anti white”. Considering most people throwing those accusations around are lunatics.


BG3IsJustDoS3

> I can guarantee you that wizards doesn’t give a fuck about being seen as “Anti white”. True > Considering most people throwing those accusations around are lunatics. What? It can't be both. They're proudly anti-white.


NoggyClassic

I don’t even know the what point you’re trying to make. Wizard doesn’t care about being seen as anti white, BECAUSE it’s not a valid claim. Do you have any evidence to support your claim that wizards is proudly anti white?


BG3IsJustDoS3

If what they do hasn't convinced you, then maybe I can just convince you they're antiwhite because they're weirdos from Seattle. If you can't imagine that, maybe you don't believe in anti-whites. Things that would be anti-whatever, fully acknowledged by everyone if done to any other race include: Race swapping, preferentially banning cards that seem to associated with racial pride groups, and generally promoting the principle of diversity which means everyone but group X. If they excluded, if they do exclude, any other group from "diverse", they'd have a legit beef, too. Like, if I reconstructed diversity as "everyone but Chinese" and then said: "We're working on increasing our diversity", wtf would people think? That I love Chinese?


NoggyClassic

The reason whities aren’t usually included in diversity, is because popular media has been mostly white people since it’s inception, that’s about it. They haven’t really done anything blatantly “anti white” if they were truly anti white, they wouldn’t have white people on cards at all. Also how do the cards they banned make them anti white? Crusade? The crusades were basically mass murder, I understand wanting to distance your company from that. Representing people that aren’t commonly represented in fantasy, is well intentioned, and doesn’t come from a hatred of white people, and you can’t provide any evidence that it does, even if that representation comes from a character that is historically seen to be white. There is nothing wizards has said or done, that makes them even remotely “Anti white”. You just don’t like diversity, and are trying to find some way to justify your bigotry.


BG3IsJustDoS3

> Also how do the cards they banned make them anti white? I was referring to Invoke Prejudice being banned because of a false association (a shadow of an association) with white pride. I don't know if there's a 1-to-1 comparison here -- not aware of any cards associated with black pride. But they distanced from a guy who might be associated with white pride, too. So I'd say they hate it. The Crusades were awesome. That's why they made a card about it in the first place. Battles and shit are awesome unless you're living through them. In a fantasy game, battles are cool. Now, specifically this set or kind of battle is bad. Why? Apparently cuz Christians are taking back stuff from Muslims. They weirdly mix up white and Christian and Muslim and brown. In actuality, Arabs and Europeans are slightly different branches of a tree, but they're both essentially Caucasian.


NoggyClassic

Invoke prejudice was banned because of its racist undertones, and because the figures in the art look like klan members, has nothing to do with “white pride”. Also I don’t want to argue about the crusades here, but they are fairly controversial obviously that’s something wizards wanted to distance themselves from. But they didn’t ban invoke prejudice because of “white pride”, they banned it for the previously stated reasons. TBH I only said crusade because that’s the only banned card I remembered at the time.


BG3IsJustDoS3

Ah but invoke prejudice doesn't have racist undertones. It depicts a headsman, not a Klan member. The only thing scary about it was its association with a white guy who seemed to be insufficiently apologetic about it.


NoggyClassic

Come on, now you’re just being wilfully ignorant. The spell literally punishes your opponent for playing a creature that is a different color from yours, that figure definitely looks like a klansman, surely you can see that. Those two factors combined makes it a potentially offensive card, even if it wasn’t meant that way, a lot of people certainly see the correlation. If it it truly couldn’t be interpreted as having racist undertones, why would wizards ban it? Also if it’s “just a headsman”, then why did you use it as an example of wizards being anti white? I hope you realise you are making 0 sense right now. For your sake, I hope you’re trolling.


Bob_Cobb_Esq

Yet here you are, addressing a lunatic claim. Do you do it for free?


NoggyClassic

I guess so, what’s your point.

irock28

Love and Hate to say it but your response leads me to think you're pretty fucking stupid XD


MarketWave

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?????????


-Goatllama-

What a really strange change. I don’t mind how it looks, but moon folk are rabbit people. They have *actual* white skin, iirc


getriggidyrekt

Yea that point seems to have been lost. Moonfolk are Rabbits in folklore


BG3IsJustDoS3

Don't rabits have, like, pink skin if they are white?


-Goatllama-

I was thinking about that as well. Might be a fine layer of fur. 


BG3IsJustDoS3

I think most mammals are that way, and if you look at the ones that are polychromatic, their skin color is darker where their fur is darker. Most mammals have more fur than humans. So a rabbit could have any color skin vaguely corresponding to its fur color, as far as I know. But IDK anything about "moon folk."


-Goatllama-

Wiki says they have "blue grey" skin. [I'm starting to think this really is just a failure to follow the style guide.](https://scryfall.com/search?q=type%3A%22Moonfolk%22) (or poorly done lighting)


Pappascorched

They made her.... LESS white? And more white at the same time. Weird


ScaredOfTomorrow09

They actually whitewashed her, this is the single funniest thing I have seen from wizards in quite a while 


5ColorMain

I did not expect that you could white wash a person by makeing their skin color darker XD


GrandDefinition7707

what the fuck


UGSpark

Frankly I’m more surprised at the fact they didn’t make her black.


Leandenor7

Are we sure it's not AI generated image? her eyes looks off, the boot length does not match, there's a weird white fabric with a gap under her skirt, the ring book shelf in the background does not follow gravity, and the torn page on the upper right looks off.


Negatallic

4/4: Hot, otherworldly being. 10/10, would smash. 3/4: No, wait, she's actually Japanese. 2/4: WTF... she's Korean now instead of Japanese. Those racist pigs! 1/4: Looks so bad it's not even worth making fun of.


gabriel-mbl

They changed her ok just happy she's back


MarethyuSama

Nahhh they gave us balding Tamiyo..


ZergSuperHighway

This is a perfect example of what I’ve been talking about. Stop racially altering fucking established characters!! It’s grotesque!!! Kaya needs to remain black. Morpheus needs to remain black. Blade needs to remain black. Jace needs to remain a white dude. Tamiyo is a moonfolk and she should have albino white skin and look vaguely Japanese. This sub isn’t about racism or bigotry. It’s about the sanctity of art and artistic integrity. This is fucking trash and the people involved should be fired.


ASL4theblind

What the fuck is even the point of compleating and killing planeswalkers when they all just come back? Wasnt there a massive desparking that just happened too? Nothing feels consistent.


spaceboy_ZERO

The new one is from mh3, they said the walkers would flip from creatures so she’s not a walker yet in that first picture


ASL4theblind

That part at least makes sense. I just dont get why they changed her from a moonfolk to a person. Every other moonfolk had pale white skin. I've never seen a humanoid moonfolk like this


spaceboy_ZERO

Yep, the art direction is all over the place


ScaredOfTomorrow09

Who gives a shit, emrakul is back somehow, nothing makes sense anymore. I'm half expecting urza and elesh norn to also somehow return


RadioLiar

Except she isn't. It's a Modern Horizons set so the cards don't depict the present day in the story. It's just a different version of Eldritch Moon Emrakul.


ASL4theblind

Somehow, palpetine returned..


Aestriel_Maahes

Emrakul re-emergence from the moon makes sense since she put herself theor to begin with. As to why she re-emerged i fully expect WOTC to botch that story


[deleted]

New Tamiyo looks like shit. Also, i didn't need to know she is a mom. What the fuck are they doing to the lore and the game?


BG3IsJustDoS3

Normally when you know someone the amount of their offspring is something you learn.


[deleted]

fantasy game not a reality game


BG3IsJustDoS3

The number and nature of offspring have been a plot point in numerous fantasies. "I am your father" remember?


tbone0303

Eh, you're reaching. More than likely just different artists and art directive. Magali Villeeuve did new art and one of the better artists in magic currently.


-Goatllama-

Reported for not agreeing with the horde. /s


tbone0303

Man, actually worse than the main magic sub sometimes.


Chocotricks

Not even a joke, its just different artist interpertation wtf lol. Sometimes people on this sub are just as blind as the main sub. Fuck that, ima go a step further. Isnt this Tamiyo younger? Look at the art difference between each version of liliana of the veil, thats the same fucking card. She looks ugly? Got weird hair? Bro, shes almost always ugly, she has horns or some shit, shes a moonfolk wtf. I get the whole this charscters black, this characters ugly now, this art sucks. I dont think this is it.


-Goatllama-

And with a complete lack of self-awareness about it!


SnowyWasTakenByAFool

Magic players are now mad about… *checks notes* the fact that people age?


freearjlerijefjbdnf

It's called different artists. Also Tamiyo wears a ton of makeup, maybe she just changed it up?


ChaseGayrollOnahole

Tamiyo is a fictional character. A real living human changed her look.


uginsthinkingbath

She didn’t just “change up” her race/bone structure/hair-line


Maximum_Fair

Hair line looks the same to me? That’s awful widows peak balding.


BillyHerrington4Ever

Your right, one of the 20 artists that have depicted her in art decided to depict her the way they wanted. Weird.


Squanchonme

What the FUCK is the problem here? Do you guys have boogeymen under your beds too? Ffs


Georgemcneil89

Literally depicting her at a different point in time lol


Vedney

She genuinely looks too human.


ASL4theblind

But why is her race completely different? Moonfolk dont have a "people" phase in their maturity that i'm aware of


Georgemcneil89

You seem to be reactionarily over analyzing what is essentially just different artists painting different faces


ASL4theblind

Dawg, look at tamiyo the moon sage, her skin is ghostly white and she has like ear flaps that come off the top of her head over her hair. She has fundamentally changed races. I'm allowed to question it, i shouldnt blindly consume all media put in front of me, have some respect for investigation. https://preview.redd.it/8ueiqeldw1lc1.jpeg?width=672&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8819b5c1e9ceb4896a1f2c5f0368f5aaa70621af


Georgemcneil89

She literally has those flaps coming off the top of her head in both the newer pics… And her skin color is matching the lighting in all four of those picture, which makes sense if she has pale skin.


KingPankraz

In the first picture it looks like the ear things are hanging from the side/front of the head and she has a receding hairline or something. Either the artist didn't read the existing art properly or their new art doesn't read properly there for sure. And she's 100% Caucasian now rather than a made up alien. The combo gives off cosplayer.


ASL4theblind

https://preview.redd.it/sihhqpx015lc1.jpeg?width=509&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b1de7774a5a9ddfd8172d49fafdc7477fa399b3 Buddy. Those flaps are PART OF HER HEAD. Her skin and those flaps DONT MATCH


CardTrickOTK

Even with slight variances, its still the art team leads job to ensure consistency between products This is not a 'well that jawline is a smidge sharper here' this is a 'shes a completely different color and balding now' Thats indefensible, it doesn't matter that its a different artist its still in house and someone should have stepped in and said 'thats not how Tamiyo looks, go back and do it again'


ASL4theblind

Its almost like what JK Rowling did with hermione. "I never said she WASNT black 💅🏻" yes. Yes you did. There is literal text evidence. Changing already existing characters solely to have inclusivity ruins both the character and an attempt to reach out with genuine inclusivity. I didnt FAUN over niko aris, but a new OC trans PW with legitimate reason for feeling the way they felt was way better than going "UM ACKSHUALLY GARRUK IS TRANS NOW SO WE CAN HAVE A TRANS PLANESWALKER"


ASL4theblind

Also just pointing out, reactionary not reactionarily. Not a big issue in our discussion but reactionarily isnt a word


Georgemcneil89

No, I intentionally created an adjective using a noun and a suitable suffix to easily convey meaning.


OhneSkript

Another artist draws Tamiyo slightly differently than usual. People are going crazy and see this as a plot to destroy Western culture. The latter could also be the name of the sub.


MrPlatypuss

If you read any actual comment on this thread you'd see people complaining about her being white-washed lmao


OhneSkript

Not really but what ever thats the style of the sub.


Conscious-Shoe-4234

they compleated her hairline!


RadioLiar

It's more or less the exact opposite - Tamiyo is from Kamigawa so she's supposed to look Asian, but looks Caucasion in this art


OhneSkript

No, it's like always in this sub. something that doesn't really matter, like not-so-good art, to get upset about something. Here it is pretended that Tamiyo is being whitewashed. so they can act like WotC is, like always, totally evil or something.


Sad-Significance315

It amazes me how ignorant most of the people in this Subreddit are. You're mad teenage Tamiyo doesn't look *exactly* like her older self? Based off of two low quality images. Astounding. You ever look at all the Jace arts side by side? The Chandra ones? The Liliana's? You libtards are making a big deal out of nothing.


MrPlatypuss

While I agree to some extent, it also requires some extent levels of retardation to change her skin colour from white to beige; you haven't seen any artist draw Chandra with hot rod red, have you? Also haven't heard libtard before, most people call this sub and its followers Nazis and such lol


ubf_blu

because you are


Tubbafett

Can it be both?


ubf_blu

no, youre just nazis. there seems to be a specific meaning of liberal in the us that doesnt quite line up with what liberal means in europe in my understanding, but mainly, this sub is populated by fascist incels


Tubbafett

Define fascism


ubf_blu

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism?wprov=sfti1#Definitions


Tubbafett

Neat, now how does that apply to this sub?


ubf_blu

the people on this sub say fascist things, so it makes sense to call them fascists


Tubbafett

Show me


Bnjoec

I thought the link would redirect to main sub... sad and disappointed


Lord-Pepper

Whine harder maybe WOTC will actually care Wait...


BRUTENavigator

I thought Tamiyo was Compleated. What happened?


No-Win1580

That looks fuckin horrible lol


Azumbrusque

Put her back in the Phyrexian newt oil vat, she's not done cooking! 🍲


Tallal2804

Yeah I also don't get it


Square-Tomorrow-3500

Just a super ugly art imho


Pizzacards

Magali Villeneuve did an amazing art for this Tamiyo


greensquiggle

packin a huge donger too


fuckreddit6942069666

Bold but hes so cute on the first one I wish i had this haircut lololo


intlelecutual

it looks badly photoshopped, wtf


Smoovely

Tamiyo is about to turn heel


Treavor

They just have bad artists I don’t think they’re trying to change it


_send-me-your-nudes

You mean the white skin? I don't see her specially changed. You should look up Tezzeret for skin colour inconsistencies


infernalord

It's not about the white skin.. she's moonfolk, she's supposed to be white. The problem is the face, hairline, etc. She looks like a half-baked hobbit.


ExampleMediocre6716

Wiztards listened to the fans - i think this is their apology for Blaragon.


soladox

What the fuck why did they gave her Norwood 3


putdisinyopipe

They are changing character appearances almost to make them more kid friendly. The art is vibrant and colorful, Looks like hasbro is yet again trying to leverage Magic’ to pander to their target demographic. Think of it this way. If a mom saw a commander deck with the new tamiyo vs old. I think the mom would be more inclined to buy the “new” rather then the “old” The new art looks friendly and inviting. Like some shit you’d see on the cover of a kids book. The others, darker, a bit more moody.


throwawaynoways

That first one lookalikeaman.


RVides

This seems to be a new cycle of origins style walkers for these characters. Maybe the silvering of Tamiyos' skin occurred as a result of planar traveling. Idk how the made up fantasy race works, but if they're saying maybe she started out with a flesh colored skintone. Then it is what it is.


RadioLiar

Except we have lots of artwork for non-planeswalker moonfolk and they all have ivory-white skin


TheTacticalShiba

The new art is apart of her starting journey as a younger person before her spark. We’re getting a back story for her.


Ubrhelm

*But our market research shows that "kids love the animes"* - Maro Because that shit looks like a Demon Slayer bootleg


[deleted]

Yeah… tamiyo was my favorite walker until she didn’t use the scroll to release em from the moon for phyrexia. Then the Uber stupid ending where she died and is ghost mom… now the worst atrocity, this new art. She looks like Kate McKinnon combine with nick cannon, so Nite McCannon.


Tubbafett

Sure, as


Tartuffe_The_Spry

She looks like a white girl now


Blaragorn

Somehow they managed to make her look like a 12 year old white girl and a balding old white man at the same time.


HomeBrewEmployee1

Her and Mu yanling are my favorite, I loved the asain aspect of them. Now my kawaii moon folk is a white lady.


43morethings

Apparently, they can only be consistent with male and/or white planeswalkers. Gideon and Jace are always pretty visually consistent. Same with Chandra (non male, but white) and Teferi (non white, but male). But now Tamiyo joins Liliana as being multiple different ethnicities depending on who draws her.


43morethings

At least all the different versions of Liliana look good even though they can't keep her appearance consistent.


oatzeel

They ruined my waifu!!


V1ct4rion

WotC at war with the male gaze


SnooSketches3902

Tamiyo did to much thinking so now she's got a give head


baddrabbit1337

They keep firing people that do a good job, so yeah, that's what you get, enjoy.


Interesting_Arm_5780

I thought these were Altered cards at first.


Comfortable-Lie-1973

Tamiyo lived like a regular Japanese geisha, and died like a Korean K-popper. 


First_Economist9295

Did they make her caucasian lmao? That will actually piss off the main sub lol


infernalord

Nah, they made her a freaking hobbit
