    Great stuff, awesome Santa! But it is really hard to see some of the detail in those photos. Any way to retake them so we can read the note?

    I'll provide a transcription and a list of what I got; my hands are too shaky for any halfway decent photos.

    Letter from Santa:

    Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

    A little birdy told me you were interested in Painter so here's a few pieces to get you started! A friend of mine love playing the Red/White version of this deck so I've included some things to help 'brew' that up if you so like. May you have a happy holiday and I wish the new year leaves a lor of opponents without a library : )

    - Santa

    Altered Arid Mesa quote:

    Caw!
    Paint the town red with R/W Painter!
    Cah-caw!!

    Card Goodies:
    1x Knight of the Reliquary
    1x Island from Alpha (corners are more round)
    1x Altered Art Arid Mesa (extended artwork and signed)
    1x Buy a Box promo of Ajani Vengeant
    1x Goblin Snowman
    1x Nahiri the Harbinger
    4x Grindstone
    4x Painter's Servant

    Note: The Vengeant is an especially nice surprise as my friend is revisiting an old pet deck that, well, let's just say Spawnsire of Ulamog activation doesn't live up to Wrath of God plus Vengeant ultimate.

    Supply Goodies:

    1x Pink Matte Dragon Shields (another good call; glossy backs are a bit annoying for me)
    1x White Ultimate Guard sideloader deck box

    Yummy Goodies:

    1x Coffe Crisp Candy Bar
    1x Chocolate Survival Kit
    1x Coffee Beans (if I had a coffee maker, this would be the best as, well, peak season just started where I work).

    Anyhow, I'm definitely going to crack down for my victim; the value is there now, but the spirit needs a little more attention hehe.

    Hmm ... I dunno; how do I know you aren't up to rascally things? :P

    (Also if this was Thor's Mjolnir I'd be pinned forever; thank you)

    So I was all set to brag, but what's the first thing I see? So look for me on the 25th!

    What's X-Mass? Is that where mutants go to pray?

    Edit: Looks like it's a heavy metal festival!

    Mail day! A mystery envelope arrived today and I wasn't about to wait until the 25th to open it.
    Haven't been able to piece together the username associated with this, but I'll figure out at some point I'm sure.

    Here's a good picture of my feet.






    Some beautiful basics, a Japanese Revoker, and 2 German Land Taxes, some Konami coins, with an assortment of tokens for my cube from Dick Tracey, Rad Dudes, X-Men, and some beautiful wrestlers including the charismatic Ultimate Warrior.
    All on top of a Source mat!

    Thanks so much!
    Tusk up.
    (Not so) Current Decks: GB Elves, GW Maverick, GWb Maverick, LED Dredge, ANT, TES, Jund Storm.

    Close ups:








    Thanks a lot! The alters are amazing. I think my favorites are the Blood moon and the Grindstone, Super original.

    62 cards(Around 8 christmas) to go and I'll get this deck done :D

    PS: The cookie came broken but the flavour was all there

    I meant to include some cringey letter about how by some miraculous chance I am your secret Santa and that in another timeline you could’ve retreated to an island to brainstorm a way to predict such an occurrence but alas I forgot to do that

    That'd be all the more tasteful if Search for Azcanta would've been called "Retreat to Azcanta" instead :P
    However, seriously, thank you so much, and Happy Holidays :)

    Excellent Christmas morning!

    Card wise, a lovely alerted Sensei's Divining Top and German Falkenrath Aristocrat. Then a German Polluted Delta, French Terminus, English Dark Confidant, Japanese Shadowmage Infiltrator, Russian foil Island, Russian Birthing Pod, Russian foil Forest, Russian Siege-Gang Commander, Japanese Red Elemental Blast, Russian foil Mountain, and best of all Korean Grizzly Bear! Truly a delightful medley of languages, I feel so cultured now :p

    Chocolate wise, heaps of options, very excited to see what they all are. There was a note apologizing for the lack of schnapps, no worries, I understand the customs delima; I'll enjoy a bottle of Rumple Minze and think of you. Thank you Santa, Merry Christmas!

    Package arrived safely. @Commoner I actually kept the letter you sent me three years ago (I believe it was), and should have it somewhere (presuming it didn't get tossed by accident when I moved), much appreciated :) .

    So, I kinda messed up , due to me writing my wish list in kind of a hurry, I wasn't entirely clear with what I wanted.

    This is what I wrote

    "Anything Korean, specifically 4th FBB Basics/Swords, or anything playable in lands."

    This is what I meant

    "Anything Korean (specifically 4th FBB Basics/Swords, or anything playable in lands.)"

    I didn't think about it at all until I received my package this morning due to having wrote it in a hurry and not putting much greater thought beyond it. So this morning I opened my package, opened the container and almost immediately realized what I had wrote. By no means is this Commoners fault (I probably would've thought the same thing), I just thought this was amusing, especially in light of the fact this is the third time this has happened either to me or involving me this christmas, as my girlfriend and I each bought each other a copy of the disaster artist, and she also mistakenly bought me an extra copy of Ascension (I'm chalking that one up to being brought up in a conversation involving whiskey)
