I have an Angus Mackenzie EDH deck, enchantment-based. Lots of 'wall' cards - Ghostly Prison, Moat, etc. The deck itself is creatureless, minus the general and the few tokens I can produce. I love fetching this and getting it on the board ASAP - If I have no creatures, my opponents have to pay double for their creatures, or they get countered :-) So in love with this card.

I get more of a Spanish Inquisition vibe from this card than anything else. What KKK member carries an axe like that?
Anyways, beast of a card.

Easily one of my favorite artists; it just has that raw sweeping motion effect to it in all his pieces; while being obscure and interesting.
To the 1488 thing, it's obviously just a coincidence given the set. To be fair, any of these numbers would also support the nazi-relation if you wanted them to:
420 (Hitler's birthday), 1889 (Hitler's birthyear), 555 (Hitler's party number), 82 or 802 (Hitler's rise to dictator), 228 (First major bill suppressing rights of peoples in Germany passed), 1919 (Treaty of Versailles, which is what led to everything, also, German Worker's Party), 1932 (Nazi party now largest in Germany), 1934 (Year Hitler rose to dictator)
With only a few minutes of work I've found you 9 other numbers that mark huge events directly related to the Nazi party. You could not only find numbers like this, but it could be related to Jim Crow laws, US Civil War, emancipation proclamation, civil war battles, death of MLK, death of JFK, Rosa Parks being arrested, you name it.... (see all)

They should have used the black panther party instead. The kkk is so last century.

This card might of been going places if it weren't for how racist it is....lol
Because that is not at all a bad effect, great for sideboard if you are playing a classic U control deck (or splash U for this)
at least it didn't say non-white creature has to pay double...knowing how nuts the card effect were during these days, they very well could of.

@Henritta
The card is called INVOKE PREJUDICE. The Artwork is robed men with the SIGNATURE KKK pointy hat. The effect is creature HATE.
Theres no way NOT to notice how it refrences the KKK.
Still, I dont think they were trying to be rasist. I think someone pitched the name invoke prejudice as an idea for creature hate, and the artist couldnt resist a KKK refrence. He did NOT go full on rasist, because Klan members do not walk around with axes.
And, if they really were being rasist. It would be a white enchantment that counters all nonwhite creatures and art would be actual KKK members hanging a ***.
Magic is not rasist, the KKK are.

I'm sorry, but if this card is racist then all Protection from Black cards are also. Get life.
This is overcosted multicolor hoser, nothing more.
