Gamerz Pair-A-Dice — Local services in San Antonio

If you want to play Magic in San Antonio, then Gamerz is the place. The store itself is spacious and clean. It also has a clean bathroom, a water fountain (!), and a friendly atmosphere. The staff is respectful and the patrons (thankfully) do not form the exclusive cliques that are so common in other card shops. Their facebook sends out daily reminders, so I never have to wonder what is happening on Saturday or when the Modern FNM starts relative to Standard.

Gamerz is best-known for its Magic scene. The quality of players is the highest in the city - and it's not even close! This is the place to polish your game to prepare for PPTQ's, Opens, and GP's.

The singles collection is very large and encompasses every format. The prices are fair and the staff has worked with me when I found much cheaper prices on tcgplayer or ebay.

Not a competitive player? That's fine! There's plenty of casual players in every event. There's usually 1-2 active EDH pods.

Gamerz hosts well-attended weeknight events from Tuesday-Thursday. It's the only shop in the city that regularly runs Legacy (Wednesdays), and it is rarely cancelled due to low attendance! They also host FREE tournaments on Thursdays (Modern) and Sundays (Standard); the Modern tournament has 25+ players every week! The free tournaments even offer prize support! You won't get better value anywhere else...

While my own opinion may be biased because of my adoration for the place, I cannot say enough about this Local Game Store that primarily focuses on Magic: The Gathering, a trading card game and passion shared by many in San Antonio. Whether it is hosting events for newer players, continuing to foster a sense of wonder by doing so- or offering prize support for events to keep people coming back to the store, or just through the sheer force of personality that the owners all have; Gamerz is a staple of San Antonio, without it- there would be so many who would be unable to enjoy a variety of hobbies, and if you are looking to play board games, computer games, or participate in other trading card games or shop for some gifts for your nerdy family member/significant other, Gamerz is more than...

First off, in the middle of COVID, I just wanted to get sleeves and boxes, maybe a few prebuilts for MTG. Yes, I’m new to this world, yes I have questions, and yes, I have concerns about my safety and the safety of my wife. We first walk in and they check our temperature, I appreciate it tremendously as it’s the first place that has done this. But then, I get sassed when I ask how much a card goes for. Because it’s a $180, I was met with sass. Bro. I’ve spent more on a bottle of wine. A customer comes in, and because he’s a friend, he has no mask on. He’s in the shop for 15 minutes, talking to the staff -who is half helping at this point- before they even tell him to please put it on. I get my things and I split. Most likely won’t be back, but totally love this...
