He said the YouTuber’s home was raided by private detectives hired by the makers of Magic: The Gathering after he streamed an unreleased version of the famous maniac card game.

Dan “Old School mtg” Cannon said agents from the Pinkerton National Detective Agency arrived at his home while filming the video on Saturday. According to Kotaku.com.

Private agents allegedly threatened to report Cannon to the county sheriff if he didn’t fork the card, Cannon told the outlet.

Cannon said he mistakenly purchased the as-yet-unreleased version of March of the Machines: The Aftermath instead of the game titled March of the Machines, which was released last Friday.

“My belief is that the names were too similar and someone messed up and sent the wrong case,” Cannon said.

He added that he was “more Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, so perhaps his trading card dealers got the titles mixed up.” Man. “

A spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast, which makes the game, confirmed to the outlet that a detective was dispatched “as part of an investigation.”

Cannon eventually agreed to remove the unreleased footage of the game, and the card company “apologies for taking the drastic step of sending Pinkerton to my doorstep,” Cannon said.
