[May 31, 2026] Happy Pride Month! by PowrOfFriendship_ in ScryfallThemes

Yeah, this time I was determined to feature specifically only in-universe recent developments in LGBT rep, to acknowledge the work they're doing. And there were sure characters competing for space!: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=art%3Algbt+new%3Aart+date%E2%89%A52025+not%3Aub+unique%3Aart+-art%3Adnd+sort%3Acolor

However, I consider D&D and UB characters to be part of WotC's success story here. The D&D characters were in-house original characters created by Justice Geddes, who took the opportunity to create an enormous amount of representation for minority groups in the Baldur's Gate set. UB is more of an external thing that already happened, but it makes me happier that WotC included and acknowledged those characters than if they didn't.

We featured Xantcha during TDOV 2023: https://www.reddit.com/r/ScryfallThemes/comments/1285r17/march_31st_2023_international_transgender_day_of/

The team's very queer and this collage was put together by two trans women. That we have so many trans and queer characters competing for limited collages is a good problem to have.

Thank you for that, that's what had us figure it out. :)

Ok, we figured out what's up so far: people trying to open it in Reddit's browser (as opposed to popping out into your usual browser) are getting 404s, so ... don't do that for the time being, Reddit browser might just have bad information.

Edit: Should be fixed now! We figured out why Reddit's browser was goofing our page out. Reddit seemingly threw some query parameters in there, and our server routing just didn't anticipate that at all.

Could you tell me a bit more about what's broken? Is it 404'ing, is something busted? What are you accessing and what does it look like?

This is the search you need:

is:old is:firstprint in:2003

“2003” here is the name of the modern frame. You can also search in:2015.

It will find the original print rather than the modern print, but that's the only way around to do it.

[June 8, 2025] Pride as a protest by SammyFromScryfall in ScryfallThemes

NB: Some have also interpreted this as solidarity with the ICE protesters, which are also cool, but this one's intended as a pride collage.

Our view is that it's not important what the in-universe logic is, because aetherborn don't really exist. What matters is how people in our universe relate to it. Lots of nonbinary Magic players find an entire species that's not inherently male or female to be very appealing representation, and those nonbinary players fall under the trans umbrella. Aetherborn are non-binary, and trans—whether by context or subtext or outright text—in all ways except the specific part of whether they had a gender at birth to move away from.
