This lot isn’t just pretty to look at, though it’s definitely that. The Commander Lot of Awesome contains a copy of Commander Anthology, as well as “Heavenly Inferno”, “Evasive Maneuvers”, “Guided by Nature” and “Plunder the Graves”, along with four life counters, tokens, and all the cards from the original decks, all packaged together in very handy and mighty fancy case. With exclusive foil cards, this lot is a great way to build your collection, or get started with a bang. Generously donated by Wizards of the Coast.

You could win this awesome prize with a donation of $8.40/multiples thereof for the next hour.

 

We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Cocina Pequena.  As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?).  We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!

This year they have generously donated an array of burritos to our crew! Yum!

Thank you, Cocina Pequena for your wonderful donation to the Desert Bus crew!

We have some new silent auctions going now. Check them out and try your hand!

 

 

First off we have a Stained Glass Hylian Shield.
Made by hand, this stained glass shield is ready to adorn your wall or window!

It’s already up to $2,450 but you could still have a shot at it! It’s going until 6:00pm PST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next there’s The Sword of Fire and Ice, and the Sword of Light and Shadow, two swords from Magic the Gathering. While not legally playable, they are definitely worth keeping on your shelf or pulling out in case someone tries to cast some spells at your face. Unless they’re green spells, then you’re on your own.

These are also over $2,000!
Auction ends at 6:00pm PST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And last, we have an Attack on Titan anthology hardcover, signed by two of the voice actors from the animated series, Mathew Mercer (Levi) and Josh Grelle (Armin)! We gave away one in a donation drive earlier in the run, but here’s a second shot in case you missed out.

It’s currently at a little over $500, so get out there and bid! BIID! Ends at 6:00pm PST.

 

We’d like to extend a thank you to a new sponsor this year at Desert Bus for Hope.

Paul and Storm will be calling in to Desert Bus on November 20th at 1:00pm (PST)

Paul and Storm (Paul Sabourin and Greg “Storm” DiCostanzo) are known internationally and across the Internet for their original comedy music (often with a “nerd-ish” bent). In addition to their own live performances, they are co-founders of the geek-oriented variety show w00tstock, along with Wil Wheaton and Adam Savage, and co-produce JoCo Cruise. The duo’s original webseries musical, “LearningTown“, debuted on YouTube’s Geek & Sundry channel in January 2013. Also in 2013, their song “Another Irish Drinking Song” was featured in the hit movie Despicable Me 2, and in July had their guitar smashed on stage by George R. R. Martin (and deserved it). Their fifth full-length CD, Ball Pit, came out in 2014, and was the central item of the duo’s wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. They are staff writers for, and contributed numerous songs to, the rebooted season of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Do you have a Question for Paul and Storm? Post it in the comments below!

Look at these three beauties! These legendary creatures – Kaalia of the Vast; Derevi, Empyrial Tactician; and Meren of Clan Nel Toth- have been carefully painted by hand over the original cards to showcase the original art in all it’s glory.

Donate $7.93, or multiples thereof, until 11:25am PST to get a chance at these three.

Since the name, converted mana cost, and power/toughness of the cards are still visible, they should be legal for tournament play. However it’s important to remember that the legality of alters for tournament play is always at the discretion of the head judge.

Driving: Monday, Nov 20th 10am – 10pm
