The Gathering Cards and Games — Local services in Wisconsin Rapids

I've visited this store maybe a total of 3 times. I originally pre-ordered a Journey Together ETB and it was great!

One day I went in to see if they had any JT packs. All sold out and that's okay. So that same day (late March or early April) I asked to pre-order the next set Destined Rivals ETB.

The associate said I was the first one to do so. Sweet!

A few weeks later I stopped in and looked at cards. The talk of preorders came up and the associate checked the list to find my name. It was nowhere to be found. I was then put 15th in line for an ETB.

This is a great little card shop in a nice location next to the DQ and Taco Johns so you can grab some food in walking distance when you meet for casual commander games, etc. They have 3 bookshelves of bulk MTG cards, binders of more expensive cards and a nice display of more expensive cards in the glass display cases. They also carry Pokémon, Lorcana, tabletop games and board games for very reasonable pricing. MTG packs are $4.99 up to $6.99. Lively place with many players and visitors, owners very friendly and tidy. Great organization and clean and well-air conditioned building with bathroom inside, snacks and drinks...

Owner was very personable and the shop itself was a promising start to what I expect will be an amazing shop. The selection if board games had unique selections instead of the standard fare. We got Call to Adventure and have been playing all week. He also sells gorgeous looking dice tins for each D&D class that I'm excited to check out next time. Magic card players will be pleased to check out his selection of Magic cards and...
