Geek and Sundry Launches Spellslingers Magic: the Gathering Webseries

Wizards of the Coast, along with Felicia Day’s Geek and Sundry, has just announced a new webseries for Magic: the Gathering. The new series, titled “Spellslingers” sees Sean “Day[9]” Plott facing off against his geek friends in different matches of the popular trading card game. Unlike some other Magic: the Gathering videos out there, Spellslingers puts more focus on simply having fun through the matches rather than diving deep into the theory and rules of the game.

The first episode launched yesterday, and in it we see Sean go head-to-head with E-sports caster Rob Simpson. Sean and Rob have a friendly, yet strange history together, and they’ve been playing Magic for years. Wizards has revealed that upcoming guests on the show include Grant Imahara (I didn’t know he played Magic!), Bobak Ferdowski, and Miss Felicia Day herself. The show is set to highlight the latest cards for Magic, and helps players introduce their non-playing friends to the game.

I’ll admit, I thought at first the show was going to be cheesy, and it is, but not half as bad as I expected. Sean has a humor about him that makes the show interesting, and it’s great to see how their selected decks are played. Adding to that, the show has a great mechanic whereby the players don’t choose their decks, rather they spin a wheel and their decks are selected at random. Sean ends up playing an Orzhov deck while Rob gets dealt a Simic deck in this episode. You can see the decklists, and video, below. Enjoy!
