Picked up MTG after not playing for 15 or so years. The staff made me feel welcome and more importantly - safe! As a female player sometimes it can be awkward being in stores, but I have yet to feel uncomfortable in the store! <3 My son and I really enjoyed going and playing at the wide selection of pinball machines too!

The best part is the online presence being able to see all the card prints when you have been searching helps a lot. Now the place has even more space so we can spread out when playing with friends.
