Pictures of opened Shaman box pls

[Ten-Ten]

@grandpabelcher thank you!

[nartman99]

@matori I'm trying to hunt down pictures from people that took them but haven't gotten any responses.

Ben's box had:

• Animate Dead print

• Foil Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver

• Miscut Revised Rocket Launcher

• Alpha Mountain

• 2 fbb Chinese Llanowar Elves

• An envelope that could be traded for 2 deck boxes.

• The envelope had a Tundra in it.

• The 2 deck boxes had Middle School staples.

There was also a suitcase provided as a prize. It had a bunch of random stuff in it! Nat tweeted a few of the pictures I took after I opened it:

https://twitter.com/GrandpaBelcher/status/1103043968537907205

It had:

• The Junior Classics 2 Stories of Wonder and Magic book by Collier

• Helm of Obedience

• 1000 piece puzzle

• Nikolai Vodka

• Clown nose

• Sun glasses

• Stickers

• Deck Box

• Toothbrush

• 2 pieces of Mox Chocolate chocolate

• a No one can beat my Dad mug

• a Rick Astley Whenever You Need Somebody cassette tape

• Tylenol

• Shower cap

• Pojo's Unofficial Total Magic the gathering Special Magic 10th anniversary book

Apparently the Tylenol and Shower Cap were already in the suitcase when it was acquired.

Every time I read what was in those, they get better.

[pilsburydohboy42]

This is the greatest happening that I've ever seen or comprehended

[hazard]

It should be noted that the Predator poster had nearly every Magic card with 'predator' in the name as well.
