Between studying for the PCAT and 40-hour work weeks, I don't get to play as much as I'd like, but I try to play about two FNMs a month. My deck choice is pretty consistent as I've been playing with Bogles the last few months.
Back in good ole days. 5 times. 3-5 stores. 2 stores go off on modern Monday. Then SSG Wednesday. We did 2x Thursday places. One was my local lgs. It's a season thing. If I wanted to travel, about a hour away a lgs has a massive tourney. Just don't wanna drive back like 2 in morning by myself. Then my lgs has fnm and a sunday toureny. My main decks I rotate are coco zoo 1-ish drop pump zoo, mefolk and junk. Those are 90% of time. I started out and still have built are mardu burn, naya burn and soul sisters. I also have in paper that I play for fun and sometimes place are stompy, 8rack and tooth/nail. I seem to always fiddle the most with rack and tooth mail though
Its really random for me, sometimes i get a game or two a week at the LGS, sometimes a tournament once a month. I only play papermagic.
I've been rocking RG tron since 2013. Ugin kinda brought me back and Newlamog is just icing on the cake!
I usually play colorless if i can, not the affinity type tho, RG Tron in modern, MUD in Legacy and Kozilek/Karn in EDH.
I play Modern FNM once every few weeks, play MODO when there is a pptq or somewhat large Modern tournament is coming up.
I usually play UR/x variants in both paper and online; twin variants, scapeshift and grixis control. Once in while I'll register Abzan midrange online or sleeve it up for a premier IQ if i think it's a good day for tarmogoyf and lingering souls.
Understand, Dredge is not really a Magic: The Gathering deck. When a card is playable in it, it doesn't mean it's a tournament playable card. It means it's playable in whatever crazy fantasy world that Dredge operates in.
Currently I am on green white emeria on Tuesday at my lgs. The reason for the deck choice is due to the fact that my meta is mostly fair decks. Which it is good against.
I quit paper magic half way through this year and moved to modo. I play at least a few matches a day with either ur twin, esper draw go, and jeskai control.
Other decks I've played and still mostly have the cards for:
- Mono green nykthos devotion
- Affinity
- Zoo
- UW tron
- Junk
- Splinter twin
- Kiki pod (rip)
- Kiki chord
I'm waiting for the time when pucatrade opens up mtgo trading, and I'll start playing online. Until then there's no chance. Not paying money for new decks.

I wish I played more often, but I only get out once a week at best; on Wednesdays. I play Grixis Twin and am OK at it. I also have backup Burn, but rarely play it. I find the interactions in the UR shell more interesting. I have the cards to build most archetypes in UR/Grixis/Jeskai, but currently like Grixis Twin. I actually played Jeskai Twin for a while and liked catching people off guard, but the over-reliance on silver-bullet sideboard cards makes it rough during G2 and G3 if you don't draw them. I average 3-2 or 2-3 week to week. I'm definitely not as good as some of the other locals, but I enjoy the format very much.
I don't get to play much modern anymore because its currently standard pptq season and I don't get to play fnm because of work but I do play Grixis control when I get the chance to play modern
In between classes at the college I play my Affinity deck usually for time reasons but sometimes play my Grixis Twin. We have Modern every other FNM(alternate between Modern & 2HG), there I play my Affinity 1 - 3 times then alternate to Twin for 2 FNM modern nights. Wish I had time to play the Modern Monday at my lgs ;-;
I play twice a week at my LGS (Mondays & Fridays). Whenever there is a local SCG event, I try to go to those as well (heading to an IQ this Sunday).
I usually play BG/x variants or UR/x Twin variants. I currently have Wilted-Abzan and UR Twin built, and I'll be playing Wilted-Abzan at the IQ (trying out a more linear beat down strategy). Though my preferred deck is Jund (giving that a break for the moment).

I only get to play modern every other week or so due to scheduling and the fact that our stores in the area don't work together to do scheduling so every store does modern on the same Friday. I wish I had more time to play, but my schedule just doesn't allow it too much. It sucks because I just got my set of goyfs too so I haven't got to jam games with TarmoTwin as much as I'd like to.
I rarely play live right now due to my work schedule. I do play online almost every day for a little bit.
What deck? Right now it's a Durward brew of bogles and prowess dudes with pump spells/enchantments. Assault bogles, prowess blitz, affront to the magic gods, call it what you will. Very fun and dang competitive. I tend to want rogue decks to do well so I fool with those more than any tiered stuff, though I do own zoo and twin decks.

Currently, I play about twice a week at my university's magic club, and then when I get the chance I try and play at any Modern events I can. My LGS at school no longer hosts modern events, but there are several of us who plan on asking him to start up again next semester.
Back home is a different story though. My LGS here hosts Modern/Standard FNM every week, so whenever I'm home I play modern every chance I can get. Its really nice to have the chance to play Modern more often over the summer and on breaks!
My current deck of choice is Esper Draw-Go. I've always been a control player, but my first Modern deck was Kiki-Pod. When that was banned (when I was 4 cards away from having the deck built), I drifted around and half-finished a couple of decks but never really finished anything. Now I've settled on Esper Draw-Go and I'm super happy with my choice. Its a super fun deck and I really enjoy the longer games that it forces. My next Modern deck is going to be Affinity, then on to another deck from there!

I play 1-3 times per week (Monday, Friday, and Saturday), all at different LGS within 30 minutes of each other.
My go to right now is Grixis Twin. I feel like it fits my play style very well, as it gives me the ability to be creative within each game by allowing me to shift gears when necessary.
I'm a bit of a neurotic, started playing Magic in February, and Modern right sfter GP Charlotte. I'm on a budget, and trying to find my niche. Went from Mono Green Stompy, to Bogles, to Mono-white D&T, Hatebears, Naya burn, BW Tokens, UW Azorious Titan, and then UW control. Been enjoying UW for the past month. Just completed Grixis Delver, and trying to decide wether to stick with UW or go Grixis.
