Going to my first commander night tonight. Any advice?
TL:DR - My LGS is hosting an open table commander night. I’ve never been to any sort of magic event before. What am I to expect? What should I be aware of before going? I’ve got 2 precons and a baggie full of counters ready to go.
To be honest, I’m relatively new to playing Magic against strangers. Me and my friends played a bunch in high school (my Krenko deck was a massive eye roller) and I recently got back into it because of Spider-Man (sorry).
I’m showing up with a couple precons I bought months ago, Graveyard Overdrive from Modern Horizons and Counter Blitz from Final Fantasy. I have honestly played these decks maybe twice and never in a true social setting. Mostly just with my friends who have never played Magic.
This is my first time doing this kind of thing at all but I’m really excited/nervous and I don’t plan to let anybody temper my excitement and I also am going under the impression that I’m likely to get mollywhopped multiple times. Just hoping for some advice from some players for what they wish they’d known before arriving to this kind of thing. Or maybe if I’m just overthinking it all too much?
