Wizards of the Coast is THE most woke company in gaming, blows Sweet Baby Inc out of the water, and yet blacks and women still won't play their game. At some point they have to realize this scheme isn't working, right?

Can't find a picture of a Magic tournament, but here's a quick shot of the players at a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament from last Saturday:

in there, but it's only a handful - and I guarantee you there are precisely two females in that entire room.
Women do not care about card games no matter how many black women WotC prints on their cards.

It always seemed like I saw more BIPOCs at YGO and DBZ events but is there an actual correlation there or is it purely anecdotal?

I went to a ghetto butt highschool in Florida, and the biggest yugioh fans were the most hood black dudes. It was wild watching guys who had multiple arrests, and who spent most of their free time selling drugs, spending all their cash on Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Not to mention YGO is more popular with the ladies as it is due to aesthetics. B-words LOVE the art for Melffy, Labrynth, and Madolche decks.

trying to build hyper-meta internet list decks is expensive, but sealed draft is the superior format anyways as long as you can get at around 8 people to play

No one is going to say Avishkar, just like saying "Kindred" instead of Tribal. WotC is just changing it on their end to appease the 80% of their MtG team that are DEI consultants. Waiting for the next wave of Hasbro layoffs so that freemagic can make another montage of twitter bios.

Such an embarassment. Nothing will ever top the universe beyond becoming part of the standard. They literally said frick you nerds and your storyline. Next will be cards like a limited edition numbered "dorito of power" from a legendary doritos x magic collab. MTG players will slop it up too.
