Where do you play?

i play usually at my house with a friend and sometimes two other friends.  i think we're the only 4 that play in Pratt, KS.

Once in a blue moon, HC does also. You can also talk to the gents at C&R and see what they organize, but their hours are spotty. They do seem like the 'die hard' types in Wichita, though.

For prereleases, HC is absolutely the best ever, however, everyone knows this, and it's usually packed. During the Gatecrash prerelease, we were looking at well over 150 people in 2 flights of 75, but during the core set prerelease, they had a much more manageable 30-40 (I took 3rd overall that night, giggidy.) C&R does better for the late evening crowd, and I hear their prereleases are manageable to say the least. They also have a huge area in which to fit a good amount of people.

Went to Wizard's Asylum for the Theros prerelease, did dirt poor. The only issue I have with them is their player base seems a tad.. dickish and elitist. Also, their playing area has much to be desired. If you played in the back, you were crammed in like sardines, but you had a chair and lights. If you played out front, you had plenty of space, but you stood, and you pretty much had to use your cell phones to read the cards.

Overall, Hero Complex is the place to be. If I ever opened a comic/card shop, I would use HC as a template, plus the staff and owner are very knowledgable. I just wish I lived closer.

Hello Central MTG gang! My name is Lou and I wanna say thanks for accepting my request to join your community. Although I live approximately 180 miles east of the Mississippi River, I'm glad I could be included. When I read that this is a group of players mostly comprised of "Heartland" podunkers, I knew I fit the description. I live in a small town (Pop. 3000) in Southern Illinois and have only a small group of buddies that play Magic. When it comes to Pre-release tournaments and such, I usually travel to the St. Louis area to play. Otherwise, I host a monthly gathering at my house with anywhere from 6-15 people playing.
I've played and collected Magic cards since 1995 and have roughly a 100,000 card collection. I like to trade and discuss Magic. So again, thanks for welcoming me to the group. Hopefully we can do some trading and I can contribute in some interesting conversations.

Ciao for now!
