Places to play Sanctioned Standard

[reillyh]

Hey all,

I played a lot of standard over the past couple summers, but I've never played while at RPI. Are there any good local shops to play sanctioned standard regularly? And preferably not on Friday? Seems like you guys mostly sanction drafts and play legacy/bizarre formats.

Also, what's the meta like around here? Are people running arond with Top 8 style UW control, Turboland, Titan Ramp, and Jund? Or is it more casual?

Thanks,
Reilly

There is Sunday Standard at aqualonia that people are starting to really get to play in.

As for the Meta around here, it really depends. There are people to have some of the Tier 1 decks kicking around, but just as often people are playing casual. It's really about just showing up and generally someone will have something for you to play against.

Also, don't forget - FNM this Friday is Standard (and free), and in the CII Annex

Here's a breakdown of the magic that you can play in this area (at least the ones that I personally like):

Friday: Draft at RPI, standard at Flights of Fantasy ($2 entry with only $1 of it towards prizes)
Saturday: Legacy at grimfoe games 1PM
Sunday: Standard at Aquilonia noon
Weekdays: Casual or testing for any format: magic club
