In Magic the Gathering: Arena, player chat messages are limited to 5 predefined words. Of those five words, the only one that isn't considered toxic is "Hello". It turns out that banning words doesn't stop people being awful.

Interestingly, there was a period of time where spamming "Hello" in Hearthstone (using a very similar system) was considered particularly toxic, especially while running out your timer every turn.
