We are excited to welcome back Wizards of the Coast as a sponsor for Desert Bus for Hope again this year. This year they’ve donated another huge selection of exclusive cards, uncut sheets and a bunch of Magic product!
Founded in 1990, Wizards of the Coast has been a powerhouse of the gaming world with their flagship franchises of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. With countless numbers of players across the globe, the reach of the games of Wizards of the Coast is endless.
We are incredibly grateful for their generosity, support, and friendship and are excited to auction off all their cool stuff!
It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this: a beautiful handcrafted artwork inspired by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
After countless hours of dedicated practice, the power of Din’s Fire was harnessed and used to recreate the iconic stained glass window from the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker on wood. This breathtaking woodburning depicts the brave Hero of Winds and clever Princess Zelda. Only the most stalwart Zelda fan will rise up and lay claim to this piece of art.
Donate $10.15 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 8:40pm PST.
With the switch over to Nightwatch, we’ve switched over into our second set of silent auctions that are now live on desertbus.org. Check them out…
Featuring the fabulous art of LRR and Jon Kay this cushion holds the entire t-shirt based history of Desert Bus for hope!
Each of the nine images has been carefully recreated, some by hand, to keep their original details. The extra colors included match the colors of the shirts the designs were originally printed on.
Now your Mox Amber can be a worn powerstone. A legendary mana rock from the halls of Dominaria realised. This light but powerful artifact weighs in at 17 grams and costs nothing to cast. And speaking of cast, this Mox is made of fiberglass resin — moulded off of an actual stone and tinted, well… amber. Comes with a handy leather safekeeping pouch as seen on the card art!
To bid on these silent auctions, make sure you’ve created a Donor Account, then go to the item’s respective page to submit a bid. Silent auctions run for eight hours, so these will wrap up at 2am PST.
