I basically got into Magic maybe 3-4 months ago, when the current set was Ixalan. I was really eager to learn and play, so I started opening boosters to expand my collection, watched videos to learn the game, picked up my actual starter decks to play and everything. Unfortunately, since then, I've found I've really sunk a sum of money into this already, buying the Ixalan Planeswalker Decks and Bundle, along with a few loose booster packs, yet the only games of Magic I've played have been at RIX prerelease and with my 10-year-old brother.
I basically feel like I'm becoming more of a collector than an actual Magic player, amassing tons of cards but not actually playing much. Any suggestions on how and where I can play more Magic? I know FNM is an option, but my schedule means I can only leave home at around 7-7.15, plus I'm not really sure how to make a decent deck.
Most Friendly Local Game Stores host multiple events a week. Some will probably work better with your schedule. Most stores also have a "open game night" when people just stop in and play. Find out when that is and show up. When you do go to these events, try to network with people. Become friends with them. Find out when they play normally, so you can join them. If you cannot make it to their hang out sessions, try instead to see if they can play when you are available.
