Wizards of the Coast announced that the company would be banning seven MtG cards with images that are "racist or culturally offensive." The cards Invoke Prejudice, Cleanse, Stone-Throwing Devils, Pradesh Gypsies, Jihad, Imprison, and Crusade will not only be banned from any tournament play sanctioned by the company, they will have their images removed from the MtG database
