Next Level Magic eBook by Patrick ‘The Innovator’ Chapin – On Sale Now!

Next Level Magic eBook by Patrick 'The Innovator' Chapin - Now Available!

The “Next Level Magic” eBook is now available, and check out what some have had to say so far!

“I bought it right when I got home from work and when it arrived I read the entire thing from cover to cover. My bottom line review: it is definitely worth it. It is really well organized and really inspirational. It made me want to be a better player and showed me dozens of different ways to improve as well. The book is hard to explain because in some ways it lays the foundation and fills in holes I had in my understanding of the game and Chapin’s perspective, but it’s also like a Master’s course and goes into advanced topics that he hasn’t written about online.Zen Viking, on MTGSalvation

“I am very impressed with this book. A thumping good read and very informative, recommending it to every Magic player, competitive or not, that I know. Well done!”Elliot Raff, via Facebook
