Brazilian MTG fans are protesting Wizards of the Coast’s decision to stop making Portuguese language cards by spamming the company’s social media accounts with images of the Greed MTG card and a NSFW image of retired Brazilian football player Vampeta. This act of protest, known as “Vampetaço”, has become a trend in Brazil since around 2020. Wizards announced the discontinuation of Portuguese and Chinese (Simplified) cards in February, citing rising costs and shifts in global demand. This decision follows the company dropping Russian and Traditional Chinese languages in previous years. The backlash from fans has been strong, especially considering that Wizards recently produced promo cards in multiple languages to celebrate diversity. Moving forward, Magic: The Gathering cards will primarily be available in English and Japanese, with plans to only produce promo packs in these two languages starting from the Bloomburrow set. This decision has sparked outrage among fans and has led to a wave of protests on social media.
