Magic has a laudable history of being genuinely considerate of its playerbase in its card designs. It has been careful to be inclusive with its character roster. When it has turned out over the years that artists embedded inappropriate subtle messages in card art or card titles, those cards were struck and apologies were offered. Examples include "stone throwing devils" and "invoke prejudice" on card id 1488.

An entire other game by the same creator had its title changed, from Jyhad to Vampire TES.

Other cards weren't designed to be hurtful, but came to be removed when they were recognized as such. In the mid-1990s, when "pradesh gypsies" was released, most people in the united states genuinely didn't know that was a slur. The word was used casually, frequently unaware. To this day, many Americans with no ill intent wouldn't recognize why the card "jihad" was offensive.

I bring this up to congratulate the game on its willingness to recognize the need for occasional change.

I'm not asking for a card to be banned. But I would like it if one specific card, you could just give it an alternate name, and let me force that alternate name in the settings, even when other people are using it. I don't want any rules changed. It's just that the title of the card is genuinely very difficult for me, and I wish I didn't have to see it.

I care for a parent with dementia. It's a hard thing.

There is a card called "altar of dementia." The card theme doesn't even make a whole lot of sense for the title; you sac a monster to cause milling.

If you could just let me have that card be called something else on my end, it'd really help. I usually have to stop playing when I see it. Fortunately it's a pretty rare card, but I've seen it twice this week, and it is honestly pretty tough. It could still have its regular name at the other end, nobody needs to update any databases, whatever

Just treat it like localization, or something? Check a box "This user doesn't want cards that have health problems in the titles." Bang: now it's Altar of Loss.

I know it's a lot to ask, and I realize it probably won't happen

But it hurts to see that. A lot. So I figured I'd ask.

I turn to this game for escape, and this is one of the things I'm trying to escape from

Please consider it

Thank you
