Previews of the upcoming Magic: The Gathering micro-set March of the Machine: The Aftermath are being released. However, some fans are trolling Wizards of the Coast on social media and calling for a boycott of the products due to the recent incident involving Pinkerton agents.
WotC (and by extension, parent company Hasbro) apparently hired the Pinkerton agency to resolve an unintentional leak of the March of the Machine: The Aftermath cards through an MTG fan's unboxing videos on YouTube. Allegedly, the Pinkertons came on too strong by going to the YouTuber's home, startling his wife, and asking harassing questions to his neighbors.
A number of fans of Magic: The Gathering felt WoTC and their hired Pinkerton agents overreacted to an honest mistake. WotC began sharing previews of the March of the Machine: The Aftermath cards on their official Magic: The Gathering website and social media channels.

Some have made parody MTG cards depicting the Pinkertons breaking the fourth wall and mocking that they will come to the players' houses, as they did to resolve an alleged accidental leak of March of the Machine: The Aftermath boxes.
