Yeah, that is odd. Makes me wonder if their choice of Leyline of the Void and Dismember art was purely for the aesthetics, and not the politics. Anger only has one art for it, so that's a factor. But it is strange considering they did make a conscious effort to distance themselves - removing Squire from the Secret lair is proof.

Seeing as this entire set originally slated for a 2020 release, and Noah Bradley was dropped in July, there would have been no leeway to print an altered version of the Amonkhet Remastered art onto this version of Anger of the Gods. The Secret Lair Squire is easily dropped because they were printed after orders were locked in. Terese Nielsen was dropped long before that.
Unfortunately, an artist that we work with, Noah Bradley, engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with members of the Magic and artist community. His actions do not reflect the values of Wizards nor the Magic community and, accordingly, today we are cutting ties with Noah—we will no longer commission artwork from him, and we will remove reprints of his work from our products.
That being said, the long timeframe between commissioning art, the manufacturing of printed products, and that product being available for purchase means that some of his artwork will appear in products still scheduled to be released.
Today, Gavin welcomes Red Day with the many ways the block innovated on direct damage in red. Some stuck, some started a new path, and some didn't work out. Also previewed is a classic red sweeper.
Despite that, the old frame does really compliment the artwork here again.
