A video of a person showing off an A4 sized blue MTG binder. On the front, Jace Beleren is painted, looking back over his right shoulder in his traditional moody fashion, while blue magic swirls around him. On the back, all the things Jace has been called are written in a mosaic like fashion for each title. Inside the binder there are 9-card pages, where the middle spot is occupied by a story excerpt. Around it are cards and placeholder postits that indicate what card should go in that slot.

The palette is dark purple for the background and blues, soft yellows and pinks with a dash of green here and there for Aurene and the magic.
