I hear Card Kingdom is the best in the area, but that's only through places like Reddit, so take that how you will. I think Starcitygames is also headquartered there, so that might be worth checking out.

What the fuck, gaming nerds. What the fuck is wrong with us.
There's a certain subset of nerd who believe that being a nerd makes them an enlightened creature of intelligence and therefore above base physical needs like showering. It's certainly off-putting.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I think a big part of it is also just that most other hobbies don't have you sitting in confined spaces for hours-whole days at a time. It really shows a lack of personal hygiene more than other activities like sports where you sweating and smelling is expected.

It's more that many people who happen to take part in so called "nerdy" activities tend to fall somewhere on the spectrum of anti-social personality disorder, and honestly how they smell has never occured to them

Okay, but I know from my game store at least two who are of the "enlightened" type, since they won't shut up about it.

I'm an enormous fan of Meeple Games, but Card Kingdom is the best bet for M:tG specifically. I personally HATE playing there, because their stupid cinder block walls bounce the noise so when it gets loud it gets intolerably loud ridiculously quickly, but the competition is definitely at its high point there. They have 30-50 person drafts every weekend (see intolerable noise levels).
By the by, we totally should meet up sometime. I'll introduce you to Mage Wars You free on Thursdays? Meeple Games has an open gaming night then.

They used to fire all the draft pods at once, which was usually about 6-10 depending on the number of people, now they fire them as they fill up, which typically means that roughly 12 pods fire over the course of the night.
Ill check out both of those, and meet you sometime. Maybe even this thursday. Ill talk to you more, when im done settling in. The 4 1/2 day 3,200 mile drive is quite taxing lol
Also, what formats are availble at those 2 stores? I play standard/legacy/edh/limited.

I've never had a Draft FNM more than 20 or so people. Standard might break 40 on a good week, if the format is newer.

Oh good god, I skipped doing that one when I moved.
Meeple games has Standard, casual freeplay on Tuesdays, and draft. Card Kingdom has Modern, Draft, and Standard that I know of. Probably someone does an EDH league, I don't have an EDH deck, and Legacy... Legacy is a special fish.
Anyway, yeah, shoot me a PM! I go to a bunch of board game meetups and stuff around here.
Has anyone else been reading the Killing a Goldfish reviews of Magic sets? I think they're fascinating, and it's really interesting to see someone who's not MaRo discuss Magic design.

The singularity is now.
If I met someone who was "above" showering, they would not be "above" a firehose.
