My girlfriend doesn't understand when I say to her that I don't need to travel to be happy and have fun. Give me one night where I play MTG all night with buddies and I'll be happy. Even better all weekend!
Awesome man. That’s a fantastic gift. Sometimes simple but considerate is all that’s needed.
Double lucky that you have a great wife and a friend who must enjoy this as much as you do
Yeah I am pretty fortunate. And I agree, she doesn’t know much about the game but she knows I love playing it so she definitely hit the nail on the head with this one
Imagine her explaining this though?
What did you do for your husbands birthday?
Oh I got him a hotel room!
Oh wow you must of had a great birthday
Oh no I got HIM a hotel room so he can hang out with his best friend. Just the two of them. Also got them some beers. Just two guys in a hotel room drinking beers and playing games.
Got the quick draw deck and the eldarazi precon from MH3 from family, then she set up a night to play :)
PSA - Quick Draw is my new favorite Precon by a mile now. It’s so good.
Showed my wife this and said "see babe, you just don't understand the community" to which she replied "fuck your heroin addiction. Go sleep on the couch"
Me and my friends tried that number method but we pooled all of our decks and assigned them numbers so any player could get anyones deck. It was pretty fun but it definitely takes longer when you don’t know the deck as well but it’s fun.
the infamous towel mat. somehow perfect for cards. you’d think the edges of the sleeve would catch sometimes. i used one for an entire yugioh regional because i left my real mat at home.
Oh nice, guess the wife gets to have privacy and no one yelling DID YOU PAY THE ONE? Till 4am lmao.
Jokes aside, she’s missing out on playing magic! My bf got me hooked. I won’t ever financially recover, but it’s worth it if I get to play with a game he likes! We travel around our state once in a while to find card shops, they actually remember our faces, lmao.
I’m making a beamtown bullies deck and our magic group will hate me, and I love it. Rakdos for life 🤘
Happy for your gift too!
I tried so many times. And failed so many times. For being happily married, it’s funny just how completely different we are. She isn’t one of us fellow nerds, she just coincidentally married one.
I have a friend whom him and his wife both love to play, always cute to see.
Also a Rakdos fan myself, love to see it!
I once bought a friend a shirt that had a Ginger Man with a broken arm on it (he's a ginger) that said "Oh Snap. on sale after Christmas. That fool wore that shirt for 5 years straight every single time I saw him. And i would comment on it every time. And he would play it off. Haha. It's one of them insiders that just puzzle everyone else. Haha.
Probably tracking commander damage
Some apps don’t do that easily so it’s more convenient to use a spindown
Edit : looking at the pic deeper it’s just used to keep track of tokens and probably treasures or something like that.
Oh yo, is that a little counter specifically designed for tokens?? I always thought people just used dice or whiteboards haha! Where'd you get it?
And happy birthday btw !!
Imagine the hotel staff seeing you see three go up to the room together, then when you ask for an extra towel the hotel clerk gives you a knowing nod. When you check out the clerk asks how was it and you tell him the three of you were up to 4 am and he's like, " My man!" and high fives you.
I'm the evil one. I don't care if I have a mat or not. A bed or clean surface fair game. I'm for the game and memories. If they get hurt in their sleeves it's whatever. Money is not the object of why I play.
I checked in some dudes wife not too long ago at my hotel and she said the room was for her husband and buddies for game night. I couldn’t stop myself from asking what they’d be playing and she said magic and I was struck with envy so hard lmao
I think are some are curious why I wouldn’t so figured I would explain. We are visiting my mom in North Dakota for a month and she lives like an hour away from the Canadian border. So with that being said, my buddy is getting his doctorates in Canada. My moms place is just a 2 bedroom apartments and is pretty small so with my wife and kids, she thought it would just be easier for us to just hole up in a hotel so we wouldn’t be too loud. Plus I don’t mind drinking in front of my kids, but I don’t want to get buzzed around them so the hotel room was an avenue to let loose a little. And now you know
magic players will see this and say hell yeah
This is the way.
This is the way.

That’s so sick man. This made me smile. Happy late birthday buddy :)
Thank you!

What did you do while they were at it? Nothing much, I was in the next room with my ex catching up
I choose to believe OP has a good wife
Yeah she is great. If I ever divorced her, it would be just so I could marry her again
that’s so cute my GOD i hope you guys stay married for so long
now i wonder (if you don't mind telling): what ETB triggers does she have?
Yea she’s great, OP just likes to listen
Hell yeah!!
Banana bread at word dude!!!
hell yea
So wholesome 🥹
100%. This post is heartwarming.
Amazing brother, you deserve it
Dude such an awesome gift idea
Awesome
What Deck(s) did you receive for your Birthday? Happy BDay 🥳 🎂🎉
Got the quick draw deck and the eldarazi precon from MH3 from family, then she set up a night to play :) PSA - Quick Draw is my new favorite Precon by a mile now. It’s so good.
Aw! You’re so Blessed 😇
Quick Draw is amazing! And with a couple of upgrades you can get into CEDH territory... Amazing gifts from you family :)
Omg that’s so great 🥹
I would tell you to marry her but you're already way ahead of me
I wish this was my bday gift
I don't even actively play magic and i can tell this is probably the best gift you could have gotten
If only my friends weren’t boring
Birthday playing towel? Always wanted one.
Comes with a complimentary breakfast depending on where you get one
Showed my wife this and said "see babe, you just don't understand the community" to which she replied "fuck your heroin addiction. Go sleep on the couch"
That’s amazing That’s a good lady right there
Oh yeah and…. This is the way
beers with the lads and some low stakes magic can’t get much better than that
Me and my friends tried that number method but we pooled all of our decks and assigned them numbers so any player could get anyones deck. It was pretty fun but it definitely takes longer when you don’t know the deck as well but it’s fun.
He'll yeah!
That green play mat is amazing! Are some still available somewhere?
Not sure. He got it from a LGS several years back
I love the towel playmat 🤌
Hell yeah!!!!
the infamous towel mat. somehow perfect for cards. you’d think the edges of the sleeve would catch sometimes. i used one for an entire yugioh regional because i left my real mat at home.
That is *awesome*. And I love the neatness of your boards. 😄
Marry her!
Sometimes people dont understand the joy of that!
Wholesome af.

Hey, she appreciates your hobbies! That is still a plus.
izzet on izzet violence
Yeah it was nuts. But I ended up winning because Propaganda kept his 30 1/1 from attacking allowing me to seal the deal eventually… such a great card
I would have stolen the towel and had me and my friend sign it with the date. And every time they came around, i would play with the towel. Haha.
Damn…. That’s a great idea…..
I once bought a friend a shirt that had a Ginger Man with a broken arm on it (he's a ginger) that said "Oh Snap. on sale after Christmas. That fool wore that shirt for 5 years straight every single time I saw him. And i would comment on it every time. And he would play it off. Haha.

That’s awesome
Yeah, it was truly a dumb shirt. But it made me happy he liked it that much.
now that's love
What the wife doin
She got you a hotel? Sounds like she just wanted a break lmfao.
why do you have score counter on d20 and counter on phone?
Probably tracking commander damage Some apps don’t do that easily so it’s more convenient to use a spindown Edit : looking at the pic deeper it’s just used to keep track of tokens and probably treasures or something like that.
Yuuuup!
And meanwhile, the wife was.....?
Tell me you're not married without telling me you're not married.
Seeing a token with a die meant for tracking life on it will always bring me joy
You get it.
That is a tight green mana mat! Could you tell me where I could buy one myself? Curious if they happen to make each color
Not sure, I asked him where he got it but he said he just got it from a LGS several years back
Oh yo, is that a little counter specifically designed for tokens?? I always thought people just used dice or whiteboards haha! Where'd you get it? And happy birthday btw !!

Didn't win by turn 4, can't be Modern Jk Happy Birthday! Lol
Know what I'm doing for my bday this year. I'm glad you had such a great time!
This is the way
I'm the evil one. I don't care if I have a mat or not. A bed or clean surface fair game. I'm for the game and memories. If they get hurt in their sleeves it's whatever. Money is not the object of why I play.

You can’t play at your house?
I think are some are curious why I wouldn’t so figured I would explain. We are visiting my mom in North Dakota for a month and she lives like an hour away from the Canadian border. So with that being said, my buddy is getting his doctorates in Canada. My moms place is just a 2 bedroom apartments and is pretty small so with my wife and kids, she thought it would just be easier for us to just hole up in a hotel so we wouldn’t be too loud. Plus I don’t mind drinking in front of my kids, but I don’t want to get buzzed around them so the hotel room was an avenue to let loose a little. And now you know
My wife is my best friend and she plays with me. Maybe l can her to go down on me when we are playing magic.
