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.
