Remarks
- In the toon the expansion deck is spelled "Majicks", while on the store it is spelled "Magicks".
- This toon is animated in a noticeably higher frame rate at certain points. Some examples include Homestar shaking his Stray Action Point card, the "Expando Deck" splash screen appearing, and the "appear" effect of the cards showing up on the live action wooden table.
Goofs
- In both the beginning shot with Strong Bad and when Strong Sad shows up to cast the "Spell of Un-Voidening", a peasant can be seen on the same tile as Trogdor. In the scene where the Emergency Card is demonstrated as the Knight advances towards Trogdor, the peasant on the aforementioned tile is not present.
