Assassin's Trophy, one of the best removal spells in the formats it's legal in, is getting the full Double Masters 2022 showcase treatment. Watch this printing not move the price all that much because the demand for it is just that high.
My first thought was "I prefer Seb's art" which is often the case, but McKinnon sounds like he's possibly problematic with some of his beliefs. Potentially. I only know he was really into the freedom truck convoy thing at one point early on, but I long ago lost track of the thread. In any case, folks that can't (or won't, which is fair) separate the art from the artist can use an alternate card now, which is a good thing.

I can't understand how seb supporting people not wanting to get vaccinated would vilify him. In a world where we fight so hard for freedoms that don't make sense - to want the freedom to not be a guinea pig for pharmaceuticals seems like one that should be lauded and not criticized.

Maybe because it is the most scrutinized and tested vaccine since the Polio vaccine? People saying "it hasn't been tested enough" are denying the science, and it is almost always a cover for "I hate government involvement in the lives of people at every level".

It's actually the cover for "my knowledge of the world is the same as an elementary schooler, but i still want to decide for everyone because my opinion is the only thing that matters"

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

People are allowed to have personal beliefs and opinions (however irrational, misguided, or fear-induced), and while we may not all agree with their politics, it's important to separate the art from the artist.
Seb is an incredible artist (he's also a musician) and has made many positive, irreplaceable contributions to this game. I for one appreciate his hard work, and personally couldn't care less what he thinks of truckers protesting or vaccines. It's completely irrelevant to how he should be judged as an artist.
Also, I'd like to point out that of all the artists I've met at events for signings, he was the only one who refused cash for signatures despite the fact that I had a decent stack of cards to get signed (regardless, he said he only charges for alterations), and insisted that I either spend what I offered him on more cards or give it to other artists who were there instead. That being said, I certainly look forward to seeing him again eventually (if/when Magicfest ever returns) to get many of his newer cards from the past few years signed as well.

I have zero problem with people expressing their opinion, as incorrect as his may be. It is when people use their platform to deny or deprive others of rights that I draw the line. Helping to spread misinformation about vaccines and risking the lives of the elderly, the very young, and the immunocompromised can certainly be a line that Wizards of the Coast can judge. I don't know enough about Seb's situation to say one way or the other.

That right there would be where Sebs viewpoint is faulty and why it's just the start of the issue.
