When I play Modern at my LGS I play with my Cranial Plating mat. I had it done through Inked Playmats when they had their last sale on. I play Affinity, so it fits.
Other than that, I usually just randomly pull a playmat tube out of my collection and surprise myself. I'm somewhere around 20 playmats ATM

Guess you cant purchase it anywhere else now, right?
Clint Cearley will be attending GP San Diego in August. You could always have someone get one for you if you are not planning/wanting to attend. Or you could always try contacting him directly through his website (or facebook or deviantart or etsy) to arrange something...
As for playmats, I seem to have a knack for collecting them and not using them... I have a ton... The one I use for general purpose though has the Eye of Ugin. Bought it to go along with my Azusa EDH deck...
I have a stack of game day playmats, although I've been selling them off lately. My favorite is my Theros Champion playmat, but I generally use a plain $5 playmat because I don't have to worry about it. I would not use a playmat at all, but the reality is that game shops are dirty.
Yeah it's smart to sell them off, unless you are a collector of mats. I have come into about 4 different play mats in the past 2 months because I played at a lot of events. Now I am looking to sell some of those.
As for the current one I use, it is the States Standard SCG playmat with all 4 squirrels on it - Squirrelstorm, Squirrel Confidant, and 2 that I don't remember right now. It seems like a "casual" mat and I usually play "fun" decks.

I just bought my first playmat (don't recall them being around much when I originally played) which was done by the same artist as one of my favorite cards, Desolation Angel. Pretty excited for it.
I use a green Dragon Shield mat I've had for years. It has so much history. It interesting that people always ask me about it. The art is simple and not really eye-catching.
I made a custom mox mat that is similar to the limited edition one, but my own design and haven't printed it yet. I want to make an Animar playmat also.
I have a Daretti AND krenko edh deck and my first casual decks where in fact goblins. I do love the little green guys.
What's not to love about them anyway

Playing modern: all BGx, storm, burn, green eldrazi, dredge.
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.

That's actually really cool! The Layers ruling is also super helpful to have right there on the mat.
