Facts of the case: Zaiem Beg was a contributing editor, then editor-in-chief for Magic: The Gathering retailer and strategy website Channelfireball.com. On June 8th he shared this google doc story called “The Wizards I Know” about the anti-Black and racist environment he saw at Wizards of the Coast. Which included the fact that they would tell people of color heard “you don’t have experience for this role,” when they had more experience than the white person they ultimately hired.

He also mentioned that the card Invoke Prejudice had a URL that was a racist symbol 1488 and they have not changed it.

As of June 10th, magic has banned that card and the following cards: * Invoke Prejudice * Cleanse * Stone-Throwing Devils * Pradesh G***ies * Jihad (in the Arabian Nights set) * Imprison * Crusade

Here are my thoughts

Will go public Tuesday @3:30pm EST
