These guys bring these crazy-ass decks that always beat my tournament-caliber builds." --Bill "Don't go. These morons think they know how to play magic, but my legacy goblin deck can kill em all. I just have to remember to bring it next time." --Bob "I brought a vintage deck filled with proxy moxes. I won even before my opponents got to take their first turn! How cool is that! Of course, the next game I waited around while everyone destroyed everything i had in quick succession. But that's ok, I had fun!" --Amy If you are looking for websites to help you with deck ideas for casual magic, here are a few that are highly recommended: Magic Deck Vortex (http://www.magicdeckvortex.com) Essential Magic (http://www.essentialmagic.com/) Especially check out the combos page...highly useful for breaking things not meant to be broken.

20s & 30s Late Night Comedy & Pizza in North Beach!

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/znkgKNjlomuquMkkUU4k **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Hey North Beach night owls, Let's soak up the neighborhood's neon lights and lively energy this evening with some fun laughs and a perfect slice of pizza. Join me for an hour of 1-1 chats to break the ice, followed by teaming up to catch a local stand-up show and some late-night grub! For the first part of the evening, the Gist IRL app takes the pressure off by pairing you up for a series of quick, one-on-one conversations. It's a great way to easily figure out who matches your sense of humor and loves the North Beach vibe as much as you do. Once we wrap up those initial chats, you'll choose the people you vibed with most. We'll form small groups right then and there, head to a nearby comedy club, and grab some pizza together! By the time you're settling into your seat at the comedy show with a warm slice of pizza, you've got a crew to share it with. Whether these folks become your regular comedy and pizza squad or it just ends up being a brilliant evening out, you'll be glad you made it out. The Plan: - 6:30PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 6:35PM - 7:55PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your humor, favorite late-night spots, and love for North Beach. - 7:55PM+: Form Groups. Reconnect with your favorite matches, gather into a cozy group of 4-6, and walk over to the comedy club and grab some local pizza together. Your group leaves together tonight. The whole goal here isn't to just add more random names to your phone. We want to actually go to a comedy show and grab pizza right away, hopefully kicking off many future comedy nights and neighborhood food spots to explore together. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/znkgKNjlomuquMkkUU4k **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
