Aragorn race-swapped?? What. The. Literal. Fuck?
Reckall:
WotC strikes by race-swapping Aragorn in MtG for the upcoming Lord of the Rings set. "Our Goal Is A Modern Take On The Work Of J.R.R. Tolkien"

Brooding Paladin:
When will it end? This really just goes too far. Why the need to do this? I'm all for inclusivity but am equally opposed to revisionism. It's almost tantamount to saying, "There is no excellent literary work coming out of predominantly African society so we've taken the liberty to make what is dominant more inclusive."
Who's the racist now?
oggsmash:
Modern Take = less white people doing awesome shit…other than of course creating the world, setting, and character you are fucking up.

'We know this has been popular for nearly 100 years, but we think we can make some improvements.' I'm having a hard time coming up with a more arrogant 'take' on anything. Maybe they can take a minute to fix a Picasso or a Dali while they're at it?

They're trying their damndest to make the orcs look White too. It just shows their weird fucking skincolor based morality. Fuck em.
