Looking for playtesting group / team

[Severin Gassauer-Fleissner]

Hi everyone,

Not sure where to put this exactly i pondered between Events and general magic chat but decided to put it in the events section.

Anyway:
I have decided i want to play magic a lot more competitive this year (the following years) and i am looking for people in the southampton area to playtest / discuss strategy and car(d)pool for events.

A bit about me:
I have been playing magic on and off for numerous years now but i have finally come to realise that this is something i want to pursue more serious. I am currently moving into my 3rd year of uni and looking into getting a car so i can drive around the country to attend various events. I currently own a small collection of cards and i am willing to invest into playsets of all (standard) staple cards. I spent the last 2 years playing UB(r) Fae which i own both in paper and on MTGO (Ancient87). I have been focusing on constructed mostly but one of my main magic related goals for the near future is to get better at limited especially draft.

Hey,
Where/ what are you studying?
I run magic at imperial, but it's open to anyone who's part of UL.
We have a facebook group for it here: http://www.facebook.com/k.cat8?v=photos&so=315#/group.php?gid=3...
I'll be updating it for the coming term soonish.

I am studying Computer Science @ Southampton University.
Cheers

Oh, Soton! You do realise that this is a forum for London players right? Obviously the more the merrier, but everyone on here lives in London.
I think your wargames society must do some magic, since they were involved in the ptq that was there recently.
You should email: [e-mail] Graham for information. He's your local TO.

[Severin Gassauer-Fleissner]

No i didn't realise it as it doesn't say anywhere (the main header says MTG in the UK) but thanks for letting me know.

I know my "wargames soc" plays magic but they aren't that serious about it as i asked them before and they said some people to play but they are mostly about board games / rpgs etc

Graham actually uses the events feature of demonic tutor for some of his events as that is how i even found this group so i assumed there might be some more soton people here i guess i was mistaken.

Cheers Sev

Well, it certainly started as a London group, but it seems to be extending slowly - there's every chance that people from other areas are finding the site as you did.

[Thomas David Baker]

Yeah, we're definitely not exclusively London.

We have a few players from Southampton as members (and a TO, as you say), and others in Germany, and Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa in Brazil! I don't think he checks it every day, though :) The more the merrier.

I would guess your best chance of finding a playtesting group is through Graham's events as he seems to be the main main in Southampton. Feel free to get anyone from there to join up, and you can you use the "Groups" feature to create a Southampton playtesting group or similar if you do rustle up some folks.

once you get a car, if you want to play more then its only a short hop up the M3 to Aldershot, quite a lot of people play there, FNM and every second sunday i think.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the replies
@Adam got car sorted so i should be attending some FNMs in the near future and might possibly even persuade some people to come along :)

@Roque

Cheers guys.
