Having already surpassed its $135,000 funding goal, the Kickstarter campaign is still in full swing. Rewards for donating range from stylish playmats to personalized cards based on higher-tier backers.
Amassing more funding at this early stage will not only allow the show to return with high-quality episodes, but signal interest in an ongoing future. Fans have been itching for the return of this show for some time, and there’s interest on all sides in keeping the project going.
Boasting a deep understanding of MTG play and fan culture, and hosted by long-term, reliable comedic voices, this is one project that Magic fans will want to keep an eye on.
