Magic is at its best when competition makes the table better, not bitter. 💖
At Shoebox, the competition is honorable and the glory is real. Competitors could take home one of three stunning trophies sculpted by our special guest @cutemonster.bsky.social with @andy.luckypaper.co 's patterns! 👇🧵

Hi everyone, We were relieved and pleased to see the news that ICE is withdrawing from Minnesota. This is a huge triumph for local residents and testament to their resilience and community spirit. However, we have not been immune to the disruptions around these events, and this has necessitated some rethinking of our event programming. We made the tough decision to scale back on some of the larger events and focus on the Carnival and community events which form the core part of the Shoebox experience. The scheduled cEDH events will be replaced with on-demand cEDH pods which are available all weekend. The Team Limited and Pauper main events will go ahead as planned, although there may be some scale-down based on attendance and registration. The Carnival Pai Gow cube event will be replaced with a Pai Gow cube that can be borrowed for free play. Other Carnival events will be unaffected. The Cube main event is unaffected. We would like to thank our fantastic community for your understanding and patience with us as we work out the kinks in our first year. Stay tuned this week for the Indie Formats Showcase schedule and Command Zone announcements! The Shoebox Team
Hi all,
Due to the events transpiring in Minnesota, we've had to make some unexpected adjustments to our original programming plan. We hope that redistributing these resources to other areas will help ensure Shoebox is the best community event it can be, even during this uncertain time. 💖

Bump for the morning crowd! If you'd like to weigh in on the mathematical discussion of whether this was inaccurately described as "infinitely tessellating", join our Discord where @dinrovahorror.mtgcu.be is trying to find as many combos as he can...
The Shoebox pins tessellating pleasingly
Biiiig shoutout to @andy.luckypaper.co for designing these - they're an infinitely tessellating shape so you can make your own patchwork!
