Our favorite shops

There are plenty of stores in Austin to play Magic at, but these few get our gold star. They each have ample space (play and parking), multiple formats, and great communities.

Best place to buy singles
Mothership Books and Games

A store up north with a very friendly, casual vibe. They are the best in town if you are looking to purchase singles or play some free commander. Note - commander nights are only twice a week, be sure to check their schedule.

If you're feeling competitive
Pat's Games

A store that has been around for a long time. They have a great selection of singles you can order direct through their site and a very competitive crowd. Runs Commander most nights.

Good for group gatherings
Dragon's Lair

A large store with great space for events. The space will typically be filled with people playing various TCGs (check their schedule for Magic events), but the Magic crowd is welcoming and friendly - great for solo drop-ins.

Casual and friendly
Bat City Cards & Comics

The newest store in town. They're still getting their footing but have been running consistent Commander and Pioneer nights with intentions to start hosting drafts and prereleases.
