I’m sorry for the losses of people who got their cards leaked from the evil eBay person and whoever bought and opened them
Don't be. WOTC deserved it.
I'm pretty sure most of the people with preview cards aren't WotC, and thus don't deserve WotC's long-coming karma. Sure, it would be nice if we could snipe out all the previews of Wizards employees, but that's definitely not what happened here. For example, the card Mitch would've gotten as a preview card (that he then turned down) could've been part of the leak, and with the timeline he implies that they would have gotten their cards a week before the leaks. Would he have deserved that like Wizards did?
On topic, I guess in order to play devil's advocate on Wizards' part: Yeah, as long as they don't break any legally binding agreement, I guess it's okay for them to stop providing preview cards to content creators who have been critical of them. I don't like that practice, and I'd rather see Wizards acknowledge and honestly address criticism that was constructive and voiced in good faith, but I guess that's why I'm not a CEO over there, so...
I doubt it's because he said they're dead to him (but it could have contributed) or the entire Captain nonsense. It's the leaks video. Wizards really doesn't like their stuff leaked, and even big groups like MTGGoldfish don't go into detail on them like he did.

And wow looks like Mitch (commander quarters) still getting preview cards
Why would Mitch not get preview cards? It's not like he did anything wrong; he merely spoke out about the negative impacts of Secret Lair, among other things.
I am also sure that the people with Previews will make their reveals interesting as well as fun, despite their cards already being leaked.
With how far back Wizards plans these spoiler seasons, I doubt they could've moved it. If WotC really wanted to punish Mitch for the Captain crap, they'd give him a card he talked about in his leaks video(s). If not, they'd give him Wayfarer's Bauble.
My worry is for the smaller content creators (which there are a lot here). They would have liked, maybe even needed, the bump in views this will give them, and with a 33% chance their card is already out there, that won't happen.

EDIT: And he's gone. Wonder where his card went.
