Holy cow guys. The magic of Reddit Secret Santa gets better every year.

This is my third secret santa with reddit and I cannot believe that my secret santa was a fan of such a niche hobby (or so I thought)

I made my profile for secret santa this year then I updated every other day for stuff I would think be good for my santa. One of my last additions to the favorite subreddit category was EDH (Elder Dragon Highlander) which is a multiplayer format for MAgic the Gathering. I used to play Magic in early college but got tired of it because of the competitive crowd and the $$$. 5+ years later I am a grown boy doing adult things and my pals have restored my love for the game with EDH because its fun and cheap Magic the Gathering. We play after work so its a huge stress reliever. What more could I want? I put it on my santa profile thinking nothing will come from it

So I am frugal at heart so I only have 2 decks and always look for more. Window Shopping you could say. After the santa matches happen low and behold i get a message from my santa and they ask me about EDH/Magic. I was SHOCKED that they were asking me about EDH so I went into all of the details about it. My santa knew WAY more than I did about it which I could tell through the messages and they were SO SO SO SO NICE!! Always giving me a heads up, asking questions and even asking my preferred artist for basic lands, etc. They even asked me about my wife and dog and what they liked but I told them multiple times, please don't go above and beyond. Do whatever you want.

My Santa hyped me up so much....and low and behold, I was blown away.

I got the package today (hours before I left home for holidays) and I was shocked when I saw everything.

First was a HUGE plastic Christmas stocking about 2.5 feet tall FULL of dog toys. MY dog went to town on it and I was shocked someone went that far to get something for my dog. My dog is on the final lap of recovering from a surgery she had a while back and seeing her be so happy with a BUNCH of new toys was awesome. warmed my heart. A small envelope that was titled "Mrs. Masetheace64". I was like "MRS.MASETHEACE64!!! You got a gift from the internet!!!!" I handed it to her and she opened up with so much joy (shes never been a part of reddit secret santa) and it was a hand written card from my Santa with a 50$ starbucks gift card!!! she was SOOOOO happpy The cherry on top was best. The final gift i Opened was a Deck box which is what card players put their decks in. I been using an old bluetooth speaker box two carry my two and this one can carry two and more. and the BOX HAD STUFF IN IT!!! a. It had a 99 count LIFE COUNTER. Perfect for EDH matches. b. It had 2 D20 dice (I dont have any of those either) c. 2 FULLY SLEEVED EDH DECKS!!! AKA 200 cards. My santa asked for some cards/colors I have never played and I sent him a link of budget decks I follow and I did not think he would get me both decks I really wanted, Fully sleeved, with a box.

After I went through everything I was just silent for what felt like forever. I was so happy with what I got but more happy that was someone was just so thoughtful. My santa went all out and I am just so thankful.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, you are awesome I cant wait to play these decks. Thank you sooooo much!
