Spellslingers an Awesome Magic The Gathering Showdown
Magic: The Gathering is my all time favorite trading card game, and I have watched many tournaments and other various shows related to MTG over the years, but Spellslingers is quickly becoming a my top watch.
Spellslingers is a highly entertaining show featuring Sean Plott from Day9TV doing battle with other popular geeks and gamers like, Jessie Cox, Rob Simpson and Felicia Day. The gameplay is fun to watch whether your a veteran player or if your new to the game, you might even pick up a few tecniques and a better understanding of how to play. Although the game itself is the centerpiece of this show, the banter and comedy that ensues as Sean goes head-to-head with fellow geeks is hilarious.
Spellslingers, which shows new episodes on Wednesdays, is part of the YouTube channel Geek and Sundry that features many other highly entertaining shows for geeks including the very popular web series The Guild.
