In a continued effort to catalogue events and promoted things from Magi-Nation Duel, this post is going to cover other materials from the Magi-Nation League, and Tavel's Travels, two larger scale events for Fans of the game to enjoy! Images below are from all 7 Season Posters.
Tavel's Travels (2001)
Phil Tavel was one of the original creators of the Magi-Nation Duel, and for an official Interactive Imagination promotion, Phil traveled across continental North America to meet fans, do some gun-slinging (games against players for prizes), and sign cards. Phil visited 30 stores in around 2 months, meeting fans, and challenging players to win a Powers of the Creators promo.
This is one of the only images remaining of Tavel's Travels throughout
game stores, showing Tavel (second from the right) signing a card for
fans.

For one store, Tavel scheduled specific gunslinging battles that would
be recorded as a story for fans to read against two of the highest
online ranked players in the country, and the story was published on the main Magi-Nation page, alongside which his travel schedule, and winner's list is published. Read that article for more details on the history!
The Magi-Nation League was Interactive Imagination's (2i) project to
keep people playing the game in stores while introducing them to the
game and not just to the tournament/competitive side of things of
Magi-Nation Duel.
The Magi-Nation League (2002-2003)

The second year of leagues was in the making, with cards designed for Kybar's Teeth already, but then the company failed. So 5 regions still away their rings, gifts, and special limited, creatures, perhaps to be released someday....
The Test League season was held to let 2i try and see if there was interest in running leagues, and what supplies were worthwhile. |
Naroom Season. Each season had three paths to promos- Elder, Tracker, and Ringsmith. |
Underneath Season. Each mat had original art from the Magi Nation artists. |
The Cald Season. Each path would get you different promos. The Elder path earned Magi, the Ringsmith path earned 'Ring' relics, and the Tracker path earned a 'gift' spell. |
The Orothe Season. The best season. This author is biased towards mer-people. |
Arderial Season. This season was mid to late 2002 at this point, and 2i was beginning to show signs of struggling to continue. |
