We are currently in the middle of hosting the “Card Kingdom Sponsored This Hour” hour!
Ever thought about how awesome Magic: The Gathering is? Then we recommend checking out Card Kingdom! They are an MTG and tabletop gaming shop located in Seattle, WA. Don’t live in Seattle? Don’t worry because you can find all their awesome inventory of tabletop games, apparel, cards, and paraphernalia on cardkingdom.com.
The folks who run Card Kingdom have also been known to sponsor LoadingReadyRun MTG drafts. So if you like live-stream LRR features (kind of like Desert Bus Driver Cam, but with Magic), you may thank Card Kingdom for supporting that, too.
