Cleanse itself is a bit of a reach but the other two are obvious. That's a bad look in combination. Like if Crusade ONLY had the art with Elspeth fighting Phyrexians, I think it's fine. And all of the other generic fantasy crusaders are going to be fine, as are other effects buffing white creatures like Honor of the Pure. But the original art on Crusade is pretty obviously depicting the Christian Crusades triumphantly. Also for Imprison, the art seems to be referencing a common method of torture used on people during slavery. Look up iron bits. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:940560457] in Magic the ...
