This deck is chefs kiss so good!

Love to hear it!!

Jonah has gone full Sid: biting off the heads of his Toy Story Legos and assembling this monstrosity

The decathlon not being an annual event is such a missed opportunity. Was something that really brought players from all different areas of the game together. Plus it was super fun!!

I’ve been playing exclusively the PT winning deck and having a blast

Speed Ran to Mythic, dare I say Standard is…fun?

In my experience it doesn’t do enough vs any of those decks. It’s a speed bump at best. Maybe it’s a necessary evil, but man I had not been happy playing it and I’m usually thrilled to see it brought in when I’m on those 3 decks

I am but a mere net-decker limited player prepping for a constructed tournament….

BUT

this card has somehow made its way into every sideboard despite not actually doing anything remotely resembling a whole card outside of against Reanimater

What am I missing?

“Oh my god did you see Amy’s hat?”

Shallot Pasta for the whole family!

Gotta brag that my friend MADE this rocketship birthday cake and alien cupcakes for Jonah’s birthday party, was very magical for the little man.

I blight have a bit of a problem...

A true fan

So I might have a bit of a bias towards rakdos...

I’m sure you have a team of seasoned pros you’re working with but if there’s anything I can do to help with limited prep, I’d be happy to

“Slingin’ ‘tent” is my favorite thing now, holy shit

Hi everyone, Over the last few days, we have been watching the situation in Minnesota and the Twin Cities unfold with sadness. The Shoebox team would like to extend our well wishes for the safety of everyone living locally and commend the massive, inspirational response of Minnesotans. We will go ahead with Shoebox 2026. We believe that there is great benefit to creating a space for joy and belonging in difficult times. We hear and echo local organizers' pleas encouraging people to visit, support businesses and attend events in the community. To bring what support we can to the area, we will be donating 10% of the profit from this event to appropriate Twin Cities charities and funds. It's understandable to feel worried about attending. We will have dedicated security and metal detectors and are working with the venue on further appropriate safety measures. You can also get a refund, no-questions-asked, until February 28th. We hope and expect the situation will be significantly better by then. We'll be putting out more information including our full schedule in the coming days. Love and solidarity, The Shoebox Team

A message from the Shoebox team about current events. ❤️

Just some growing pains with a new editor, should be sorted next week!

I don’t know if we ever did an episode devoted to the strategy of team draft, but we did do a number of reviewing our team drafts when we did them vs Team LR. (Episode 299 as an example)
