Thanks santa! I pretty much just asked for cool ***** that I can't reproduce on my own, and I found these under my tree.

Top Middle: Altered Italian Swamp ("Palude") from an older set. Has the (T) as the tap symbol. It's pretty awesome!

My secret santa blew me away. Pics and details to follow when things settle down around these parts tonight.
Edit: OK, here we go! (I will have to step up my game next year!)
The tokens (Cat soldier, soldier, zombie and Spock) are drawn by RK Post. In addition to the great singles, that's a GP Madison deck box and a BFZ full-art land pack, I assume from a fat pack.
Things my secret santa could not possibly have known without actually being Santa:
1) My best deck box was recently stolen.
2) I have a lot of original Zen full art lands, but not enough to supply the cube, so my cube can now be totally full art.
3) I have never been to a GP but really hope to go some day. The box will scratch that itch for now.
4) I have a toddler and a 10-month old, so the cute reindeer stocking (not pictured, but I'll fix that in a bit) will go to good use.
You rock, dude/dudette! Thanks a ton and Merry Christmas!
Edit 2: And of course the cards are in beautiful condition. The nonsense at the edges is just an artifact from the flash.
I got some insane cube pimpage this year that i'm extremely happy and thankful for - thanks santa! unfortunately i was so excited that i sleeved and shuffled the cards into my cube straight away i'll try and dig them out tomorrow and get them all together for a nice photo.
on another note, i'm waiting on a straggler cards to arrive at my place and i'll ship out. might be a while to reach my giftee but it'll be worth it!
Wow, those RK Post tokens are amazing! I hope I can make it to a GP he's at one of these days.
He sells most of them on his website, which mike make it easier. I'm also going to GP: Oakland in like three weeks, so feel free to PM me if you figure out which tokens you want and I can grab some.

I spent like 60ish bucks at his table alone over a weekend, his prices are good, selection of product is better than most artists I've seen as well and his stuff just looks cool.
My present came today! Because of where I live, I wasn't really expecting to get my presents until after Christmas, so this was a very pleasant surprise.
I got this gorgeous Arena foil Man-O'-War, the old frame blue foil really pops. I've been wanting this for quite a while, since Man-O'-War is one of my all time favorite Magic cards, and this is pretty much the only pimp version out there of it. I started playing while Mirage block was in Standard, so all the original 187 creatures hold a lot of nostalgia value for me. I'm thrilled to finally have this foiled out.
Equally cool is this pack foil Skullclamp, one of the first truly broken cards I added to my cube, and it's a card I learned about while I was building this cube. It's the pimpest version of a card I love to play.
I'll be thrilled to see these in my cube packs for many years to come. Thanks, Santa!

Really nice present man. Man-o'-war is also among my favourite cards. In fact, Visons is easily my favourite set of all time. It just has so many nice cards that have still got legs today, and many which haven't been surpassed.

You're right, Visions was a great set. I just looked through the spoiler for Visions, and it's kind of amazing how the design of a lot of cards in that set have been riffed on over the years since. None of the Charms like Funeral Charm or Vision Charm is particularly playable by today's standards, but they've returned to the design of cheap instant charms with three different modes, and a lot of them have been hits. Also, phasing may have been a flop, but looking back it seems like an early template for blink effects, which have been fantastic and fun to play. Not to mention the ETB creatures that were pioneered in Visions. I can't even imagine playing a cube deck without at least one. Even Viashino Sandstalker's design has come back with improvements as Dash in Fate Reforged.
Heck, earlier this week I was just talking up the importance of running Undiscovered Paradise in cube.

I have a big soft spot for Mirage block as well. I hope they return to an African/jungle theme again in the next couple years. The art in Mirage is just so vibrant and beautiful.
Wow! So earlier this week I received a package from CFB and I was already over the moon with a bunch of cards that I had been dying to get for my cube. And then today, I find out that my Secret Santa sent out a SECOND package from Korea (hint hint). Check out the goods!
I can't believe how much stuff Santa threw my way this year. Between the stack of Korean tokens, the foil basics (which I've already sleeved up and am using), and all the cube staples I'd asked for, I am incredibly thankful and grateful to Santa this year! The only thing that probably won't get any use is the Christmas mix CD. Who has a CD player these days???
Spike Rogue, I am calling you out as my secret santa this year. Thanks so much for the incredible haul!
Got mine today, I got a big smile because not only did it come but the same person got my name last year!
Signed tormenting voice (one of my favorite cards from khans limited btw), halimar depths and Gaddock Teeg also signed! And a German origins booster... And chocolate which I'm currently munching on as I type this out.

Unfortunately the pack was Jace-less, the rare was displacement wave but it was certainly fun to crack a non-english pack, as it was also a first for me.
Just received my gift. I got some awesome foils for my cube!
I also got some tokens, which weren't the ones I needed (needed the 0/1 plants from Worldwake for Avenger of Zendikar). It's okay though, the foils were easily enough to make my day
Thanks so much for the wonderful present!
Edit: I'm actually just going to alter the tokens into 0/1s

You guessed right, and you're very welcome, I'm so glad you enjoyed my present. Believe it or not, though, I'm not the only cuber from Korea who posts on MTGS. There are actually two others that I know of, so you had less thana 1 in 3 chance of being right.
The bar got set really high for me in the first Secret Santa I participated in, last year's Christmas in July. If you like what I sent you, you should check out what I got last summer: a full "booster pack" of 15 amazing cards including a Stoneforge Mystic, a pack foil Shards of Alara Elspeth, Knight-Errant, and two alters. It was a huge leap forward for my then budget cube.
Sorry you can't listen to the CD. I make a new Christmas playlist for the Christmas parties I host at my place every year, and give out CDs like that as stocking stuffers. Don't worry, I'll find a way to make sure you can hear it in time for Christmas.

Post pictures of the tokens! I am a big fan of stuff like that.
I cannot be alone in feeling underwhelmed after seeing you use the word alter, then thinking of your other other great works getting excited and then seeing you simply changed the numbers that's a forum lump of coal if I've ever seen!

Yeah I know. I wish I had the time to alter all my tokens into unique arts, but I have bigger fish to fry at the moment
