Those that remain will then be pitted against each other in a single-elimination voting deathmatch to determine which will receive the next Arcana.

We've also updated The Compendium website to reflect the current release state of each Stretch Goal.

And, for those still thinking about getting a Compendium, yes, you will receive all Rewards regardless of when you make your purchase.
