{tag=Magic: The Gathering}
Official announcement: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/depictions-racism-magic-2020-06-10
List of cards with images: https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2020/06/wizards-bans-7-cards-that-depict-racism-including-invoke-prejudice/
* Invoke prejudice: depicts the Ku Klux Klan. Card's title clearly criticizes them "prejudice".
* Stone-Throwing Devils: not sure about this one: https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/54341/what-is-offensive-about-the-card-stone-throwing-devils
* Cleanse: it does not seem to have any reference to black people, image depicts fantastic animals. There are hundreds of cards that talk about black since it is one of the 5 colors of magic.
* Pradesh Gypsies: does not appear to suggest any bad things about gypsies, on the contrary
* Jihad: does not appear to suggest any bad things about Islam, on the contrary
* Imprison: depicts a black slave. Let's pretend it never happened.
* Crusade: pretend it never happened
