When I look to the USA and Donald Trump, I see a man who hates moslems and he has a lot of fans.
In Europe we have a similar picture. So now my question is: What would happen, if wizards prints the Arabian Nights Set in 2016. In 1993 everyone was happy with the arabian stories on the cards. But now so many people hate the moselms. And I ask myself how the magic players would react in cards with half moons on it and so in 2016.

What do you think about a set like Arabian Nights in this political times?

Arabian Nights is my absolute favorite edition. No edition ever printed has that much style. The new sets have no chance to reach this awesome set :)
And I think such a set in 2016 would be as in 1993, because Magic players are mostly intelligent, and this helps agains stupid rassicm.

I'd hope your average honey badger wouldn't care nor give a shit.

Trump's an idiot that shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm surprised he somehow managed to become the Republican candidate. I guess Kanye 2020 really is going to be a thing..?

The problems currently being caused in the world are being caused by a bunch of selfish psychopaths that abuse religion as their vehicle of choice and nothing more.

They won't make anything so "realistic" nowdays, kaladesh should already be what you're looking for.

Also, I personally really dislike the idea of printing a realistic set, ethics races and things like that mustn't be in a kids card game imho

Religion has nothing to do with racism. I don't care about the colour of your skin, but I hate all kinds of religion.
If they print a realistic set about muslims, it won't be recommended for <18 y.o.

Wizards wouldn't go near it. Too dangerous to print cards like 'Jihad' in 2016.

We really, REALLY, REALLY don't want to go there. A mod should close this thread immediately.

I agree. The expected value of this thread is below zero. If anything, this is a purely political topic and not related to Legacy or even just MtG.
