Man, I miss playing Magic more often. :-(

More specifically, I miss FNM draft. Drafting at a table with people who know what they're doing and are friendly about it is priceless.

Also it's been a year since I told a table how to zone draft and augh I miss being an acting judge too.

@kilnfiendpotter i miss it too, well.... i miss it when it went well. When arena introduced drafting i remember how nice it was to draft without worrying about being misgendered or casual sexism etc. drafting is great, but fnm tables have had... mixed results for me :(

@odd_megan I'm so sorry you had to endure that. My LGS in San Francisco (Gamescape) is such a rare gem, in that they don't stand for any of that shit.

I was in a pod with a teenage boy, when he called a card "gay" in a derogatory way. The ENTIRE table (including me) stopped the draft, put down our packs, and firmly told him that wasn't okay.

It's still my favorite LGS in the world, and the only one in SF I would recommend to marginalized folks.

@kilnfiendpotter a good lgs is priceless, its way more than a retailer. its like a sorta cultural incubator.
