is  (in at least two ways) the set's token black person.  This wouldn't even have caught my eye had there been even a couple of non-pasty faces featured prominently in any other cards.  It's 2013, and I don't think WotC gets the concept of "institutional disenfranchisement."

Who said he's black? It's kind of hard to tell. Edit, I was looking at the Gatecrash soldier not the RtR one. She's a black woman alright.

We should have more black people on cards in general. That's what.

To what end? Is being on Magic cards some unalienable right 'the man' is keeping people from? I dont see any Asian people on cards outside Kamigawa, is that racist too?
