lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:17 PM

#

Thank you umaru

#

Aight

#

I have registered for the unknown event on friday (the commander at home event filled so that sucks) and the triple chaos LRR event on Saturday

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:20 PM

#

I don’t think I’m registering for an event

#

Probably just jamming commander/canlander ngl

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:34 PM

#

That is the plan as well

#

But i do want to do the unknown event and one lrr event

#

Lrr is always gonna be something to do for me

#

But I do need to jam more stuff

#

Last year i played 0 commander games outside of events

#

I need to change that

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:36 PM

#

I’ll be there! Probably gonna bring a Gamegenic Castle and my backpack

#

Gonna have like 4 or 5 commander decks and a canlander deck with me

#

I think I’ll also bring pauper if I can spare the space

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:37 PM

#

bold juniper I’ll be there! Probably gonna bring a Gamegenic Castle and my backpack

That is my roster too

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:37 PM

#

Whatever fits into a castle! Still need to buy one

#

I just don’t wanna bring that big honkin’ stanley box

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:39 PM

#

Yes

#

The castle was the purchase i made before vegas last year

#

Great choice for me lol

#

I may bring one other thing to use for a couple canlander decks

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:40 PM

#

Did it work well for ya? I was hoping it wouldn’t be too much

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:42 PM

#

bold juniper Did it work well for ya? I was hoping it wouldn’t be too much

It was perfect

#

I may bring like a stronghold for 1-2 canlander decks, maybe

#

Im gonna try and bring 1-2 less binders this time so my backpack is lighter

#

And just have a “con pulls that i can sort later” binder

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:44 PM

#

1-2 less binders??

#

Good lord dude

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:45 PM

#

I brought all 4 of mine last time lol, just because i didnt take them out of my bag

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:45 PM

#

I have one (1) that I use

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:45 PM

#

And i bought one of the mana 8 ones

#

Im trying to trim down on my binders

#

Im trying

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 7:45 PM

#

Lol

#

For me, my binder is exclusively $5+ cards

#

Anything less is just kinda not worth putting in any more

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 7:54 PM

#

Again, trying to cut back

#

Gonna try to bring just one

#

I have so may bulk rares I have a toolkit box full of them and I still have more than that box

#

And thats just bulk rares outside my binders

bitter linden Feb 10, 2026, 9:41 PM

I have a pass and a plane ticket. Now all I need to do is actually get myself to go renew my license so they'll let me on the plane...

lusty totem Feb 10, 2026, 9:51 PM

#

Oh good luck

bold juniper Feb 10, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

Heh, mine expires 20 days after magiccon so

bitter linden Feb 10, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

bold juniper Heh, mine expires 20 days *after* magiccon so

Mine expires in June but I'm pretty sure as of last year they changed it so I need a "RealID" instead of my old license to fly, even domestically.

#

Just double checked. Looks like I just have to pay a $45 dollar bribe to get through security if I still have my old id...

bold juniper Mar 2, 2026, 4:07 PM

#

Y’all excited for MagicCon??

#

I’ve been ecastatic for it for a minute now

Have anyone with a Legendary VIP badge gotten theirs yet?

#

I ordered my badge the day they went live and it still hasn’t shipped

#

Or at least if it has shipped its not here yet

prime egret Apr 5, 2026, 6:13 AM

#

I believe people are just now starting to receive them. They usually come within a month of the event.

lusty totem Apr 5, 2026, 2:49 PM

#

Yeah

#

I mention because my friend who got the premium weekend badge has theirs, but myself and two others who all got legendary vip don’t have ours

hey crew, I wanted to throw out an idea of a Staples meetup to do a commander game or something. could be fun to do and maybe do some sort of picture to show some of the staples crew together at an event. Could even try to find Logan at one of his meet-and-greets lol

#

of course don't need to do that but could be fun

prime egret Apr 12, 2026, 1:07 AM

#

Not soing a meet and greet this time around (wanted to let others have the slot) but I'll be in creator central most of the weekend. I can probably pick a time Saturday morning or something to post up for meeting folks!
