According to Wiki/ThatOtherWiki, Magi Nation is a Canadian–Korean animated television series based on the card game Magi Nation Duel. It diverges considerably from it's source material to the point that it could be considered an InNameOnly adaptation that also tries to be {{Edutainment}} too. The show has 2 seasons with 26 episodes each, though the last 12 episodes of the second season never aired due to low viewership and cancellation.

It still plays on certain channels early in the morning, and for kids with no cable or internet it's pretty enjoyable.
