Shoebox is all about sharing a love for Magic and showcasing the incredible people in our community. So if YOU create something special, we want to hear from you! ✨

Only one day left! Who's already got their Shoebox badge locked in for 2027? 👀 June may feel far off now, but we'll be slinging cards in Minnesota before you know it!

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 💖)

What is Shoebox? Why should you be excited? Find out in @judgerob.bsky.social's own words in this interview by the lovely @mentalmisplay.bsky.social! 🌷 www.instagram.com/reels/DeKAd8...

Finally finished my Shoebox 2026 video! youtu.be/Ktv-UUZo3Pw

Do you love @shoebox.gg ?? I do and I'll see you there next year! Thanks to everyone for the hugs, the hangs, listening to me blab about @birdsofmtg.bsky.social and Judge's Tower all weekend!

🎉 @shoebox.gg the MOST fun packed into 3½ days — Defrost Pre-Con Party w/T.C. Brew Crew + QFTJL, RiverCentre great venue/location, Guest Artists, Vendors + Community Artists, SO many MTG formats, Prismatic Party! Only regret was not registering Pauper Commander as Indie Format Showcase (next year!)

That's a wrap on our VERY FIRST Shoebox, thank you so much to everyone who joined us! ✨🎉 We'll have LOTS more info coming your way in the near future, but first we'd love to hear about your 2026 Shoebox Experience™. Drop us a few words that describe your weekend below! 👇

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

Dear Magic

I’m always thinking about community. When I made the decision to venture to Minnesota for Shoebox, I didn’t know what to expect. But I was excited. A community focused event, run and ho…

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 got to run my first ever cube event, ate a really normal amount of cheese, and got to meet new friends. I can’t be more grateful for this weekend and am extremely sad it’s already over. If you missed @shoebox.gg you will not enter the kingdom of heaven (ESPCIALLY @toriofthevast.bsky.social)

My highlights from @shoebox.gg!!! What was y’alls favorite moment from the con?!? Favorite Game? Format? Memory? I’d love to hear all about it!!!

@shoebox.gg went from the con i didnt think i could make to the one i could never see myself missing out in. i loved every chaotic second i spent with each and every one of you goobers. I’d like to take a second to highlight some of my favorite moments from the con!

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!

Getting serious post convention sads from leaving @shoebox.gg What an absolutely wonderful convention. I had so much fun hosting Value Vintage with the team and getting to meet so many people! Truly my favorite convention I've ever been to.

Travel stress aside, @shoebox.gg was a great event! Good vibes, teaming with @stryxfamiliar.bsky.social and @sampratt.bsky.social was a delight as expected and hanging with @ggards.bsky.social and his crew all weekend ruled capped off by an Oscar Watch Party last night. Til next time!

Unequivocally incredible weekend at @shoebox.gg. Vibes were great, everyone was up to play games and just jam. Excited about the future of this event, given how well the team was able to execute in spite of some truly difficult headwinds.

@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.
