My secret Santa got in touch with me before Christmas and explained it would be shipping out late. Hopefully it should arrive soon, the suspense is killing me but it will be a nice surprise in an otherwise dull month.
I have a feeling he's going to overcompensate for being so late.
I got back from vacation a few days ago and have been sitting on these beauties for far too long. thanks so much secret santa!!!
good thing i play cube, and not standard
PS. the last couple times i forced an Oath deck (my favourite deck to play in cube), I was stomped due to issues of consistency and answerable threats. it got me thinking that i'd really like to run one or two of the 10+ monsters, and when the new Emrakul was printed I knew i had to have her in my cube. can't wait to take her for a spin in oath!
A few years ago, my Secret Santa gift never arrived. My Secret Santa never replied to any messages from the organiser, and it was never resolved. The user is still active on the MTGS forums, but not in the cube forum any more.
Not naming and shaming? That is pretty terrible behavior, surprised it wouldn't earn them a ban since its pretty much a trade they are backing out of after they got their stuff.
The thing is that this is not exactly a trade and this is not being handled via the Market Street forums; this is something that has been handled by Cube forum members (with some support from the Mods) themselves.
In the situation that Juju brought up I can add that I even asked the Mods at the time to contact the person in question, but with the same unfortunate result. On the other hand, international shipping can sometimes take a LONG time; there was a year where it took me 3 months or so to get my Secret Santa gift.
I sincerely hope that everything can be sorted out and that everyone gets something cool! It would be a shame if we let this beautiful Cube forum tradition die!
Well, whatever, this is what I got my SS who never posted. It was either one moderately expensive foil or a couple handfuls of other wants they had (foil and nonfoil) and I opted to give quantity over quality haha
haha its a tradition for me on this forum exchange...last year my recipient got a pack of Ice Age and 10x Coal Golems...unfortunately, this year, my recipient was outside the states and I couldn't send them sealed product!
It's possible that your recipient just hasn't gotten it yet. International mail can get screwy sometimes because it's going through multiple countries' systems. Most things from the U.S. and Europe get to me in a week or so, but every now and again a package will seem to be completely lost only to show up 3 months later. Hopefully that's the case here!

Nah, my SS recipient already posted that they received their gifts, they just haven't posted the goods despite being active on the forum. No hard feelings to them, just wanted to share!
Will get a picture later, but my gift finally arrived! I got a handmade 100% wool dicebag with a drawstring. It's awesome! Also got a foil Selvala's stampede for the cube. Wild or Free!
Santa arrived but customs caught him. It might be a day or two until I can get to the post office to collect it but I thought I'd let people know it arrived.

Santa really out did himself, I couldn't be happier. I look forward to trying the new cards in a draft any it look nicer not having my proxied goblin guide.
Opposition > rite of replication
Elspeth > ravnica Gideon
Altered bolt > old bolt
Mystic confluence > distainfull stroke
There was also a foil far seek and PtE I get to upgrade to plus an old island, a full art forest and a boat load of tokens and afew other cards to find a home for.
Thank you Santa.
Edit: Oh and there was a note, but it was didn't show up great on my camera. I'll try and get a better photo when I get the chance.
Yea its really nice to have an alter... hope it isn't the start of an expensive new obsession.
There was actually a big stack of tokens, I had asked for them because I had lost mine at the time. I have since found my old stack and started mixing these in since variety is the spice of cube and it is less fun when all your tokens are the same. The one is the picture is a Japanese(?) soldier token and there was a Japanese(?) wolf token as well as a lot of other useful tokens.
