What we’re about
Meet other local people who enjoy playing Magic: the Gathering in the DC metro area (DC, Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia).
Q: COVID restrictions... are folks still playing?
A: Yes.. absolutely. Some stores remain closed due to space limitations or because of current events. Some stores and events moved to socially distanced spaces. Others try hosting outdoors. And many started using Arena to play (Arena is the new PC version of Magic). We encourage everyone to socialize safely and be considerate of other players' personal space. We understand that some players may be more accepting of COVID risks than others, but some folks are more vulnerable or may share homes with elderly or other vulnerable population.
Note on Local Game Stores:
It is a tough year for local businesses. Its tempting to grab those discount boxes on the internet, but think about spending the extra 10-20 dollars on your local stores so they can return the favor next year and beyond providing us great places to hang out and immerse ourselves in gaming.
Q: Do you have a Discord?
A: Of course we do. It includes copious chat rooms for whatever you want to play. Go here to join: https://discord.gg/dnHrwP7acF
Q: Who should join us?
A: Anyone who lives or plays in the area and wants to get into the original collectible card game, more specifically- you! We play both casual and competitive events and have everything from new players to twenty year veterans. We also like to combine events with social gatherings, so on occasion we have stuff like BBQs, MTG and beer, MTG and movie night.
Q: What are the benefits of joining us?
A: In addition to meeting other Magic players in the area, you can find others to trade with, people to bounce ideas off of, people to carpool with to tournaments.. word on the street is that all the cool kids in DC are in our group.
Q: Where do you usually play?
A: We play in a few local stores as well as at player's homes. Wherever you go in DC you are bound to run into some players from the meetup.
For more locations, times and other information join the group!
