Monday Night Magic: Commander — Junkyard Cards, Long Beach
The good card shops are never on a nice street. They sit in a strip off a six-lane road, between a smoke shop and a place that does taxes, and the inside smells of cardboard and floor polish.
This is one of those, and the regulars are the reason to go. South Street pulls a genuinely mixed table — longshoremen off a shift, nursing students, a couple of dads who bring their kids along and then get competitive with each other. Monday is the night the shop belongs to Commander rather than to tournaments, so games sprawl, and somebody always has a deck built entirely around a joke they will explain whether or not you asked.
Free to play, which matters more than it sounds: when nobody is protecting an entry fee, people will cheerfully lend you a preconstructed deck and walk you through it.
2150 E South St, Mondays at half six.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
