   1. Slot Theory
   2. 1. General discussion about how decks can only have so many slots
      2. If your deck was 39 land and the rest Opt, it would be very bad
      3. Modal cards are awesome, because they essentially “increase” the number of slots in your deck
      4. Lands with spell-type effects, such as Academy Ruins, also basically increase the number of slots in your deck
      5. If you set up a “Slot Table” for your deck, you can make sure that you have enough of the types of effects that you want in your deck
      1. Deck Statement: Mr. OPC! (aka Mono-Red Other People’s Cardboard)
      2. I came up with the Slot Table for this deck, before I selected any cards to go in it. I have no idea if the numbers I have picked for each slot are correct, but I’ll refine that after playing with the deck more
      3. Number in Parenthesis was at the start, number after is how many ended up in the deck

               3. First one to be forced off the flight if the flight is full
            4. Basic Economy tickets are very restricted.
         4. Read and Understand the terms of your ticket.
         5. Recommend getting the airlines Economy/Business Economy tickets (1 step above Basic Economy)
            1. For smaller regional airports, be there 2 hours a before the flight
            2. Large international hubs such as ATL or LAX, be there 3 hours before your departure
            3. REMEMBER: If your ticket says the plane leaves at 08:30, that means the doors close at 08:20. Once the doors on a plane are closed, you are not getting onto a plane.
            4. Expect to be delayed in at security due to your card collection. (This has happened to me just about every time! Mention JLK’s hilarious tweet: https://twitter.com/JoshLeeKwai/status/1053334228539064321 )
         6. SHOW UP TO THE AIRPORT EARLY
         1. Going a long distance driving?
         2. 1. Share the driving with a friend
            2. Plan for stops
               1. FuelLog
               2. Triptik
            3. Budget for gas (apps can help plan this)
               1. Waze
               2. Mapquest
            4. Plan for Traffic (apps can help with this)
      3. If Driving:
         1. Try to limit yourself to one personal item filled with MtG cards/decks
         2. 1. It is easier to maintain physical security of your collection if it is easy to handle and store.
            2. Ryan - I try to REALLY challenge myself to only bring the top 5 Commander decks I’m interested in playing for the weeknd (and maybe also a brawl deck or two). Also, a good idea to bring different decks of varying power level, cause you don’t know who you will play against all weekend
      4. Do NOT overpack
   4. Travelling
      1. Be Friendly and Open to New Experiences
      2. 1. No one owes you their time
         2. Everyone’s else may have different ideas of what is fun
         1. Be aware of your surroundings
         2. Do not leave your stuff unattended
         3. Hook your backpack/travel bag to a chair leg or to you
         4. Make sure zippers are not easily opened
            1. If you have a large and/or expensive collection you can get insurance for it
            2. It is a special rider that is added to your homeowners or renters insurance.
            3. It is cheap
            4. For extremely price items, insurance companies will want physical proof such as receipt of purchase or a picture of the item.
            5. Keeping a digital copy of your decks/collection online can help you during a claim.
               1. A police report is required to file an insurance claim
               2. Inform the event organizers, let them know if there are any unique items that may identify the collection  
            6. If you are unfortunate and your collection is stolen at an event, immediately file a police report
         5. GET INSURANCE!
            1. Especially if you are in the Main Event
            2. On site food is typically overpriced and not the greatest quality.
         6. Bring Snacks and Water
            1. Ask random people to play with you
            2. Make a sign advertising
            3. Post to twitter with a picture of the table number you are at and the Hashtag for the event, e.g. #GPVegas
               1. Once started a game with someone’s casual deck - turned out to be a crazy Thassa combo deck that got Omniscience out on turn 4.
               2. Don’t get mad - be polite
               3. Find a group that you enjoy
               4. Make new friends
            4. Not all decks are made the same
         7. If you are just there to play Casual Commander
            1. Visit your favorite artist
            2. 1. Card signing are typically $1 -$2 per signature
               2. 1. Make sure to UNSLEEVE your cards while you are standing in line. Don’t be that person making everyone wait while you are unsleeving double-sleeved cards
               3. Be prepared with what you want. You are not the only person in line.
               4. Most artist love discussing their artwork, but be respectful of their time, especially if they are busy.
               1. It’s really cool to meet and have conversations with MtG Celebrities. Most of the ones I have met are super happy to sign a playmat, and you’ll come out with an amazing, one-of-a-kind souvenir
               2. It’s good to have a few different color of sharpies available
               3. Also, a playmat with a bright color background, makes sure signatures show up really well. (For example, the first playmat I made with the BW logo was on a black background, which just didn’t work out all that well).
               4. Blank playmats are often available at the tournament site
            3. Bring a playmat and some sharpies!
               1. Panels include everything from format specific discussions, comedy sketches, to instructional how to’s.
            4. Attend a Panel
               1. Most events are held in large cities
               2. Visit and experience the local sites
               3. Some really great after-hours experiences can be had, not limited to a great dinner out with some cool podcast hosts :-P
            5. Get out of the Convention Hall
         8. Events are more than Game Play
      3. Maintain your Personal and Physical Security
   5. Attending an Event
      1. Be prepared
      2. Manage Expectations
      3. Have Fun

1. Today we're going to talk about how to bring your A-game for the group game.  Group games in MTG can range from silly and casual to cutthroat and political.  The Commander format lends itself to a more casual atmosphere since the decks are usually slower off the block, but getting knocked out first always sucks so we're going to talk about what it takes to thrive and survive in a multi-hour game against your closest geeks.  But before we get to the Art of the Group Game…
