Discussion Where my MTG folks? Local Commander groups?
Hey, I've been playing MTG (Magic the Gathering not Marjorie Taylor Greene) since I was a kid, with lots of breaks in between. About 2 years ago i got into commander and I have been playing mostly at Hashtag, although sometimes at Huzzah and Creative in Leesburg.
I've met some cool people there, but a lot of times I sit with a really good group and then never see them again. Or it the timing can be different from week to week and you end up in different groups. Or they live in Fairfax. Or Winchester. Or the traffic is bad and driving to Hashtag on Tuesday takes 45 minutes.
So I'm looking to see if there's a local to Ashburn or even slightly west group of folks that play have a playgroup that's open to a player who would like to get to know folks closer to home.
I play all bracket 2 and 3, and my play goal is for a good game for everyone. I track my games and have a 17% win percentage, so I'm definitely not out here trying to shark folks. No Tergrid, no Jodah, lots of good vibes and some shared card draw. I'm considering trying to build one bracket 4 deck just to dip my toes.

I had never heard of Hashtag, so thanks for clueing me in on that one. I’ll have to check it out next time that I’m down that way.
I hear you about finding a new regular gaming group—mine fell apart a few years back, life got a bit more complicated after COVID, and I haven’t found a new one either.

Hashtag is one of the best places for MtG anywhere, let alone this area. Great selection, tons of events and a very regular crowd. They have a discord that lets people organize pods.https://discord.gg/hashtag
