We planned to share a super fancy graphic revealing our 2027 t-shirt design, buuuut it turns out our graphic designer is quite busy today hammering out those final details. ...But I think I communicated the vibe pretty well, right? (actual design reveal coming soon, we promise 💖)

A message from the Shoebox team about current events. ❤️

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

Let's start this party off strong - we're not here to play. (I mean, we're here to play Magic, but you know.) We're turning Minnesota's nonbasic lands into Mountains, taking it alllll the way back to bring you a VERY special appearance from one of Magic's original artists -- Tom Wänerstrand!

A graphic depicting Tomas Robert (Tom) Wänerstrand, and several Magic the Gathering cards including Blood Moon, Mountain, and City of Brass.

Text: Artist Announcement, Tom Wänerstrand! Tomas Robert (Tom) Wänerstrand is an American artist of Swedish descent. He is one of the original 25 Magic: The Gathering artists who contributed works to the Alpha and Beta expansions plus works in numerous other releases.
