I'M SO EXCIIIITEDD THE PINS HAVE ARRIVED This was literally something we talked about doing on day ONE of planning Shoebox and it's amazing to finally see them!!!

Today we celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest players of our community, the one and only "German Juggernaut". Remembering Kai Budde: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nELc...

Devastated to hear of Kai’s passing. An absolute legend, a titan in our game.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

We are very excited to announce our first wave of Main Event featured cubes, as chosen by our expert selection panel! As it's our first year, cubes will selected in batches to ensure we have the right number of cubes for the attendees. More selections will be released regularly!

Gonna be real for 1s Making this event a reality has been... hard. So many unknowns, unfamiliar problems, and unexpected setbacks. The thing that's kept us going is the belief that we're truly doing something special here in a way that serves the community we love. Seeing it laid out like this

A WOMAN JUST WALKED PAST ME WITH A PIGEON SITTING ON EACH SHOULDER WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

I started playing ball hockey recently and last night I blocked a shot with my leg for the first time!! I felt pretty badass. The bruise is kinda high up so I'm not gonna post a photo but it looks roughly like this

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Attention Team Sealed players! Looks like you'll have a little extra cash for crackin' packs, cus we're reducing the price of our Team Sealed $10k to just $240! ✨ No action needed if you've already purchased your entry, you'll see that sweet refund for the difference in the next few days!

Full disclosure: I spent a couple of hours sorting out a bluetooth issue and getting Steam to work properly, but now everything is running beautifully :3 it's kinda crazy like I'm just telling my computer what to do and it does it?? I can just type "sudo reboot" into a box and it reboots?? Wizardry

Anyone else switching to Linux to avoid being forced to use Windows 11?

It’s Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada 🧡 I recommend this beautiful book about Indigenising our approach to ecology and land healing by Dr Grenz, an Indigenous researcher in BC. She weaves her personal journey of learning in with realisations about how a new relationship with land can be built.

Quick reminder, today is the ✨LAST DAYYYY✨ to submit your creator application if you'd like to be a part of Shoebox! ✌️ We'll be sending out approvals between now and October 11th, so keep an eye on those inboxes! ✉️

This is definitely my favourite of the rotating @shoebox.gg taglines lol

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless. Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?... #MagicTheGathering

Big, big, big deal y'all

Brownie points go to @levdev.bsky.social! Chase Stone, everyone!!!

20 brownie points for the first correct guess 😂
