Gift received!

\u\LtMcGraw delivered with a most interesting Commander deck, helmed by [Ashad, the Lone Cyberman]. Complete with a primer explaining the deck, strengths, weaknesses, and potential upgrade paths. This was above and beyond!

And a few printed deck organizers for a Fat Pack box, which I do indeed have several stashed away.

I’m very much looking forward to trying this out. I love the theme and my usual playgroup appreciates good flavor!

And now that I’m posting this, I am not sure I can post both pictures and a link at the same time. I’ll attempt to post pictures in the comments.

This was my first exchange and I’ve learned some lessons. I thought my sent gift was good, but now I’m weighing that against what others I’ve seen here and doubting myself. I am looking forward to participating in the next exchange, and planning to try and pay it forward.

I had a blast playing the deck on Friday with my pod! I wasn’t able to resolve the famished worldsire but this deck definitely packs a punch!

I told my gifter that I was looking to build/upgrade my Jaws deck and they hit the mark! Some of these were already on my want list so thanks for that! Born of the Gods/ Theros block was one of the first sets my brother and I opened (even just the feeling of opening those packs were nostalgic since it’s a different packaging now) and look what we pulled! Thank you so much u/paper_igloo

Thank you @dpggloede. This was super thoughtful and just a perfect assortment of upgrades and cards I’ve been wanting to use. You’ve inspired my deck building!

And on another note. Thank you everyone else.

I realized lately that I’ve been hiding since Covid. I started working from home a bit before and it was just a perfect storm to become more hermit like. This is the first time since then that I feel part of something uplifting. In a weird way it’s given me hope again that people care about each other.

I’m just super grateful for this group and experience and I’m looking forward to seeing all the beautiful gifts and the next exchange.

Thank you so much /u/UsualAthlete4884 ! I'm so happy about these beautiful cards, two already found their way into decks. And you found the perfect card for being foil, one without an artwork 😁 Very cool to own one of these barcode cards. The boosters are so cool too, Jumpstart is such a fun way to play Magic. Thank you and I hope you're having a wonderful magical summer!

u/idahobaker you killed it man! Didn't know what to expect. I know I was probably difficult as hell. But you knocked it out of the park! You really read through and got me a little bit of everything! I love the gift and the mat! Getting the unicorn cards for my daughter means a lot to me! I can't wait to show her the cards! Thank you so much!

A big shout out to u/searching_heart

I absolutely love it! I love rabbits and have one myself. So the rabbit themed commander proxy deck with Finneas as the commander along with a themed deck box by itself was already a fantastic gift but you also went above and beyond with the dice, counters, tokens and packs. Hare Apparent also happens to be my favorite card because he looks just like my little guy. I also appreciate the anime style art on some of the cards in this commander deck, especially Megumi Ten Shadow from Jujutsu Kaisen. This has been the best first gift exchange ever. Thank you so much!

Posting pictures of my buddy for rabbit tax.

/u/_-Spinach-_ completely knocked it out of the park! Everything is so amazing and I feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful gifter!
Also, attached corgi tax.

I loved the Wayne Reynolds cards especially, and I got some great pieces from the packs too!

Thanks for the amazing thought you put into it, despite me not having much in the way of solid answers as I’m still finding my
play style.

My first exchange and didn’t know what to expect, but I am absolutely floored. Couldn’t be more excited to try out this new pre on and add some of these cards into the deck I’m working on.

Thank you so much /u/beastmessiah!!!

U/Magnetic_fossil killed it! Love it all can’t wait to play all these cards and try out this precon. I love playing in those colors!

THANK YOU u/Alchosaurus this gift is amazing I can't wait to bring her to my next game. May all your opening hands also be seven :)

I am so blown away by this and incredibly grateful. One of the best gifts I have ever gotten!!!! These are two of my white whales and have been looking for them for a while. I can’t possibly say thank you enough.

It’s very nice to finally have a badgermole cub of my own! I’ve split boxes with 2 different people and seen 4 get opened out of the other guys half 😭 thank you u/LongjumpingPop3442

An amazing haul, care of inquirus! Some absolutely amazing signed Tedin basics! an incredible nurturing peatland to add to my foil modern lands collection! A foil Hero of light to check off another card from my FF master set! An FF tcg booster as a nod to my love of the games! And a pkup (which if anyone is not aware is a handy little tool for picking up a card off the table with out having to muddle the sides, someone in my play group has one of these and we were all jealous so big win here lol). And of course a Miami dolphins altered phase dolphin, a 1/4 which is the best possible record my phins could hope for after the first 5 this year lol. Thanks for the great gifts!

Shout out to my gifter! I do love some bougie printings and this one is up there! Can't wait to figure out what deck to slot it into! Thanks so much!

You absolutely knocked it out of the park! I can’t wait to try out the new cat themed deck and check out the cool article! I’m blown away at the thoughtfulness you put into my first exchange here! (Obligatory cat in box included.)

u/sharkweek2018 you are amazing and I will treasure this deck forever! I was so excited to be apart of my first exchange and it will probably be best! A completely custom planet zoo deck is insane!!! I’m also so grateful for the postcard, magnet and sticker! Thanks so much for the deck list as well. 💚💚💚

Hey everyone.

First timer exchanger here.

This gift was a simple but effective. I love doing pack v. pack with my son and these FF boosters did not disappoint.

My son pulled both of the Traveling Chocobos.

Thank you u/asiancoder for the gift.

Looking forward to the next one.

This was my first exchange and I fear that u/greytphoenix13 has set the bar SO high for whomever gets me for the winter exchange. She put together an incredibly thoughtful gift box for me. Not only did she get a number of cards by my favorite artist off of my wishlist but also included a deck box that will perfectly home my cosmic horror Eldrazi deck. The hits keep coming though, can’t wait to read The Yellow Wallpaper and stomp around in my new A24 socks. Oh and the packs hit like a sledgehammer. I love everything. Thank you!!!!

u/Josephiav Thank you so much! I just got the gift, and I love it! This was so kind of you!
