Basic doesn't have game meaning except in reference to lands. E.g. Relentless Rats isn't referred to as a "basic creature".

It's something you'd sideboard against a black deck.
No you wouldn't. It's a waste of a sideboard pick when there are much better options.

Crusade ban is gonna screw up kitchen table white weenie decks. That's the major fallout here.
These bans don't matter to kitchen table magic.

They do when a kitchen table rules lawyer freaks out with "OMG that's banned", as if it matters.

I can't even read that second one. Are MtG cards all this complicated?

If today is a Wednesday, reverse all effects of reversed cards that do not match the color of your shirt unless it is also the first Wednesday of the month, in which case all players with at least x X's get x more X's x'd to their X's. If today is not a Wednesday, you lose.

Also you gotta translate that into several languages, and sloppily edit out any skeletons in the art for the Chinese version.

generally not, but it's not like that's the most complicated one either. for what it's worth, if that effect were printed on a card nowadays, it would be worded very differently; that card is quite old and was made before they decided a lot of the wording/phrasing conventions used nowadays. Its modern text would be

Whenever an opponent casts a creature spell that doesn't share a color with a creature you control, counter that spell unless that player pays X, where X is its converted mana cost.

whether this makes more sense or not is up to you, I guess. I personally find it a lot easier to read since it's what I'm used to

fun fact, a white supremacist made the art for most of those cards

*reads further into the topic and finds out you're referring to the McNeill guy*

Phew, thank god, I thought you were going to tell me Phil Foglio was a white supremacist.

Because this is the first time a card has been banned for being racist?

Before maybe Oldschool became a thing in the last few years, it hadn't been seen in decades.

Because the card is pretty shitty, most people forgot about it.

Yes and No. It's from a joke set of cards that wizards printed.

It's a real card but it's from a joke set called Unhinged. Not meant for competitive play at all.
