If we were to be true purists to any and every cultural creation, because the author had some bad viewpoint, we'd have to throw out 3/4 of it.
Better to take hold of the creation and subvert whatever subtext the author intended it to have.
p.s
Took a look at the cards and can't see where is the offensive content.
Not attempting to turn anything into anything else; just being honest.
None of those cards have imagery that make me report to anything resembling nazism, so I'm truly baffled of where is the triggering.
I played MTG a long time ago and that was what it was: a game based on fictional imagery.
Those hooded figures were standard fare for executioners in comic books, books and films with medieval setting when I was growing up. It takes precedence over a half dozen sideways pop culture references I only got later in my life.
And as a curiosity: that pointed hood is still used in some religious processions in Italy today.
