The chance to attend @shoebox.gg had me wondering what is it about this game that keeps pulling us together. The world weighs heavy, but time and time again I'm always astounded by the joy we find in Magic. I continue to try and capture those feelings. Please enjoy, Dear Magic bit.ly/4sikgxK

Yer another of many many many @shoebox.gg interviews to come. This one ft. Wizards and Warlocks. These two dudes rock. And not just cause they were excited to draft my cube. They are positive community leaders with a love and excitement for (almost😅) all things MTG!

Shoebox is one of the best cons I’ve been to in a long time. Unlike most other cons which feel like giant spectacle shows, @shoebox.gg felt like a giant convention full of friends who all came to play your favorite game.

I think despite everything, @shoebox.gg was the most fun I’ve had at a Magic Event in a LONG time. Seeing people be interested in my artwork so much that they gave me money for the first time was transcendent. I also played 8 games of Magic, way more than expected, and had a great time in each!

@shoebox.gg!! What an absolute treat. I played 14 games of EDH, 1 game of Value Vintage, and 1 game of Wizard's Tower. I ran into old friends, made some new friends, and even got asked to sign some cards and playmats. Thank you for the love and the memories.

For a first time convention, I gotta hand it to @shoebox.gg for putting on a fantastic maiden voyage. Everything went spectacularly and i could not be happier. When I got here Friday morning I made it a point to say yes to every game anyone asked me to play, and it was perfect.
