Errata Notice: Rakshasa

On November 3, 2023, Wizards announced that Rakshasas in the game would receive errata to cease to be Cat Demons (or Cat Devils, in Mahadi’s case). This means they will simply be Demons (or Devils), and simply no longer have the Cat type.

That update affected these cards.

This change is not solely a type line change. The Rakshasa is a type of being found in Hindu Mythology, and Magic is pivoting to reflect their origins rather than the cat version picked up by way of Dungeons & Dragons. This means Arena piloted this change with some sweet new art of a whole new kind of errata seen on Rakshasa Deathdealer, Rakshasa Vizier, Rakshasa’s Secret, and Villainous Wealth.

We welcome Wizards making efforts to address their past and improve the representation found in their games.
