CASUAL Commander enthusiast looking for fellow players in the area of Amsterdam!
Who knows a fun playgroup or would be interested in starting one to gather once every one or two weeks on a Sunday afternoon? I know things are seriously tricky with the Corona measures - I'm just looking forward to playing again. And who knows, we might want to use the meantime for deck design challenges.
PLAY STYLE - Insta-win cards, infinite combos, and heavy restrictions and stax strategies spoil all the fun of Magic for me. Instead, I like player interaction and therefore happily choose a player-interactive play style over solitaire (e.g. Skullwinder instead of Eternal Witness). I believe that's what makes my 15+ decks fun to play with and to play against (power levels ranging from 3 to 6). I love interactive three-four player games of 45-90 minutes in which we have a pleasant turn pace, forgive each other small misplays, cheer for each other's big turns, and help each other to learn from playing the game too.
ABOUT ME - I am Laurens ('84) and I've occasionally been playing magic for 15 years now, and like to stay updated on the newest MtG Commander-trends on youtube. Aside from that I am a freelance workshop trainer / teacher in personal leadership, I like British ironic humour, movie soundtracks, and the fact that my place is in Amsterdam West on a spot that's easily accessible by car and public transport.
Anyone? :-)
Hey Marijn, cool! Would you like to chat here publicly or do you have a preferred way of chatting one-on-one? Curious to meet and exchange ideas, if you like.

Hey Laurens,
Together with 3 friends of mine, we form a group of casual players. A few times a year we find the time to get together and play full day of MtG. However, weekly some of us get together for some quick games often with 2 sometimes 3 players. We normally start in the evening after the kids are in bed and play until 11ish. We play (paper) casual commander with decks ranging from ~3 to 7.
If you're still looking to hook up with other casual players, let's see if we can get in touch.
Kind regards, Adriaan

Hey!
Just seeing this post now. My playgroup has been playing mostly online for a while now and not on a regular basis. But would be cool to find some other commander players to play with sometime.
