Hey Commander players… we’re kicking off a giveaway for this hand-crafted Witherbloom Commander Bento Box! Here’s a few words from the crafter…
When you’re enrolled in the multiverse’s premier institute of life (and death) sciences, you need to be prepared for all kinds of field work. This special issued Witherbloom bento box can hold all the spells and snacks you need.
Made from wenge and purpleheart and lined with hunter green velvet, the main compartment of this sturdy box can hold a double-sleeved 100 card deck with a little room to spare. The side compartments can hold your snacks (pest tokens?) and dessert (sparkly dice?), or maybe other potion components. The maple and walnut inlay on the lid reminds your opponents who they are dealing with, in case the swamp smells
This bento box also comes with a platter of 16 engraved walnut Pest tokens. Please do not snack on the tokens. Unless you’re a legendary creature who can turn them into tea and/or +1/+1 tokens. It does not come with cards / decks though.
Dimensions: about 6.5 by 4.75 by 3.5 inches, or 16.5 by 12 by 9 cm
This deckbox was finished with a plant-based finishing oil that may have nut contamination. While the finishing is food safe it’s not intended for actual food storage.
In any case, do not lick the box.

We’re starting a giveaway for this Huggable Hypnos Plush Doll! Here’s a few words from the prize’s crafter…
“Huh. Says here that you crashed the bus. Have you tried…not doing that?”
There is no escape from the Desert Bus, so why not make yourself comfortable by taking your very own Chthonic Companion along for the ride- everyone’s favorite Underworld door greeter, Hypnos! Inspired by the character from Supergiant Games’ Hades, this 20″ stuffed animal version of Sleep Incarnate is sure to provide you with sweet dreams wherever your journey takes you.
Hypnos was meticulously handmade over a span of 35+ hours using cottons, velvets, art yarns, felts and faux fur, with huggability in mind. Useful for cuddling as you drift off to sleep, watching that comfort movie with you on the couch, or adding a bit of drowsy cheer to your collector shelf!
His clothing is fully removable for washing or playing dress-up – the prize winner will be provided with care instructions!
As if having the God of Sleep in squishy format wasn’t enough, he comes with a few extra perks to reward your generous donations:
- a matching human-sized sleep mask;
- a replica of his ever growing List, embroidered with the Desert Bus logo;
- a replica Chthonic Coin Purse (to hold all your loose change for the Boatman)
Log in to or sign up for a donor account, then donate $8.33 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this giveaway until 2:30pm PST.
We here at Desert Bus for Hope would like to take a moment to thank one of our returning Technical Sponsors for this year’s event: Elgato!
Thanks to the generous support of Elgato, we’ve been able to deck out our “bus from home” broadcasters with the flexible and high quality gear they need to put on a great show from anywhere. From Green Screens to Key Lights to Stream Decks, their equipment helps make the hybrid bus possible, both in the Moonbase and at home. And without great gear, how else are you going to bus from the beach? Or a haunted house? Or from outside the realm of reality, where you have transcended all of the multiverse?
You may have heard some of our entertainers shout-out Elgato on stream for their generous sponsorships, so here’s a peek behind the curtain to see how their gear is integrated into the run both at the Moonbase, and with our remote entertainers & engineers.

All you Magic fans, here’s another chance to win some of these sweet Secret Lair drops we’ve got! All you have to do is donate $8.04, or multiples thereof, by 11:45am PST to get a chance at these two boxes of joy!
Glimpse some Magic realities that never came to pass. Can You Feel With A Heart of Steel features three classic artifact creatures: Arcbound Ravager, Darksteel Colossus, and Walking Ballista, all reimagined as robots with new full frame art by Bad Flip Productions, Danny Miller, and Hector Ortiz. The Path Not Traveled offers a different view of four of Magic’s Planeswalkers. Feature alt-art and alt-reality versions of Ajani Steadfast, Domri Rade, Tamiyo, Field Researcher, and Vraska, Golgari Queen. Both sets are foil.
It’s cycled to the 10 o’clock hour (for us, anyway ♥ ) which means it’s also time to discuss the new silent auctions!
First up we have this AMAZINGLY detailed Elspeth Onesie!
This onesie is a casual cosplay of the classic Magic planeswalker, Elspeth Tirel. It will be the comfiest suit of armor you ever own!
Please Note: The onesie will be largely ineffective in sword battles.
And then our second silent auction is this Stardew Valley cooking set!
The set contains:
-A double-thick apron (to keep home-milled flour off your shirt)
-Pair of pot holders and oven mitts (to keep hands safe from your turnip-funded stove)
-Two large kitchen towels (to wipe off the hay before you cook)
-And finally an extra large tote (to cart all of your items over to Pierre’s if you can’t wait ’til tomorrow)
These incredibly detailed embroidery pieces are hand crafted in painstaking detail. You can put them on your wall and they’re beautiful from afar as well as up close!
Donate $10.10 or multiples thereof before 8:50am PST for a chance to win!
Da Da Da DaaaAaaAaAa…! Hey, Listen! It’s dangerous to go alone, take this set of three 27.5 x 24cm (10.8×9.4in) triangular embroideries! Lovingly embroidered over 60+ hours with around 200 tiny individual icons that everyone will know and love from the Legend of Zelda series. There are rupees, blupees, divine beasts, iconic enemies and weapons from the entire history of the series and more! The three separate designs are themed around a piece of the triforce, courage, wisdom and power, incorporating the essence of each into the art through motifs, colours and symbols!
Halloween is the best holiday. Magic the Gathering has some awesome token creatures. Combine the two together to get one of the best set of hand drawn tokens around!
