I just started travelling out to San Jose for work 1-2 weeks per month (as of yesterday), and looking for a reason to pack a legacy deck in my bag. You guys playing anywhere near Santa Clara (where my hotel is)? I'm going to try to make time for Modern at CFB next Tuesday, but it's always up to the work load.

The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I'll try to play FNM once or twice a month. If it helps, I always wear a blue sweatshirt and carry a red backpack.
Maybe I know you then. I'll be there this coming Friday, playing standard like I do every week. I wear a light grey hoodie and carry a computer bag on one shoulder.

Modern at CFB is Monday nights, last time I checked. I'd meet up and play, but all I play is standard right now, unfortunately
By God you're right! Well, I guess that makes it easier for me then. Drinks with the new boss just got scheduled for Tuesday, so maybe Monday can be a go next week.
Now if only I could find Legacy? I kinda figured the Googlers in the area would be up on that, may well be wrong!
I play at ChannelFireball on a regular basis. I usually avoid FNM because there's such a huge crowd. I only draft there. I do actually plan to go to FNM there this week though. I carry a red messenger bag and wear/carry a black jacket. I should be playtesting Modern there, but I know I'm already pretty much screwed for Grand Prix San Diego, so I'm going more to be with friends than actually try and compete for prize...
EDIT: I have a modern deck and a legacy deck if anyone wants to play at FNM this week.
Hey guys my name is Mark. I live in San Mateo, CA. I play at Gator Games (San Mateo) and at CFB (Santa Clara). I only play standard right now but I will be playing modern soon. Ill be playing at CFB tonight. Hope to see people there!
Last night I went 2-1 in draft... Drafted 10 rares with the only value being Zegana... I will likely be going to ChannelFireball tonight to draft again...
I live in SoCal right now for college but during breaks I go home for breaks, I live in Castro Valley. I usually go to Ronins in Castro Valley and play EDH, Modern, drafts, and sometimes budget standard.

I might be able to turn this playtest thread into an actual mtgs clan where it would get even more publicity, but I'd have to spend some time working stuff out as I'm already in a clan and there are some processes in creating one.
But there was a clan for people in or around NYC for a while so I know it is reasonable.

One way to work it would be for us to form as a clan and let those with existing membership in other clans be Friends of the clan. It spares the conflict of sacrificing preexisting ties.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

Who here has what for Legacy? My group has maybe 2 decks and they are on the budget side, so I'm unfortunate about that. I would like to get some serious testing done against any decks that aren't budget. Sorry, I don't mean to sound elitist, I'm just trying to better my playing. I hope people understand. I will play with anyone, tbh though.
I have The Waking Dead, and Affinity which I am piecing out because I can't pilot it. I will possibly build another deck, many, many, moons in the future, but for now I need to finish getting everything for my Legacy and EDH deck. I keep slacking. I can't seem to put myself in a situation to buy $50 cards anymore.

I'm four cards short from completing GWr Enchantress. That's runnable at my home shop in Dublin due to their allowance of 10-proxies, but I'm hoping to complete it soon (three windswept heaths and 1 leyline of sanctity left :-/). It's needed to warp a bit to cope with the metagame; with the frequency of targeted discard and combo, I've had to sacrifice my traditionally unbeatable-for-aggro mainboard in favour of preboarded leylines. That being said, no deck right now exactly presents a fast clock when they can't target you, so it's not the trade-off you'd think it is. It's quite an unusual position for the deck to occupy in the meta.

I've got TES cobbled together, and am working on un-proxifying Junkblade. I've also technically got High Tide together, but I don't know where I put my cunning wishes or turnabouts...
Excuse my n00b question... I just responded to a pm but it seems like alot of players here now...
What is the purpose of a clan?
I had seen clans on MTGO but there really wasn't a purpose I had seen... IRL this might be different...
So is a clan kind of like a gang? I know there is alot of Green on Blue violence but if I gotta rep I'll rep... G's up U's down... G's up U's down... *cwalkingwhilethrowinguptheg*
Anyone here go to CFB for FNM regularly? I might know you.
