Product placement
MTG (Magic: The Gathering) - appears as a goal for the creator, not actively used or shown. Does not act. Removing it changes the creator's stated goal but not the video's content.
Inprnt.com - appears as the creator's bio link, a destination for prints. It acts as a storefront for the creator's art. Removing it would remove the direct link to purchase prints.
