Meet other local people who enjoy playing Magic: the Gathering in the DC metro area (DC, Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia).
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. I don't get in there too often, so if you need something, your best bet is always to message me here.
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.
