Fans of the popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering will soon be able to celebrate the return of one of the best web series the game’s community has to offer. Magic‘s developer, Wizards of the Coast, has teamed up with Geek & Sundry for a fourth season of Spellslingers, which will once again be hosted by excitable gamer Sean “Day9” Plott.
As in previous seasons, the new Spellslingers episodes will give Day9 a chance to, in his own words, “play Magic: The Gathering with my nerd friends.” This season’s competitors will include Lizzie Bennet Diaries star Ashley Clements and Kyle Hill, the host of Nerdist’s Because Science. (Nerdist, like Geek & Sundry, is owned by Legendary.)
