Genesis Comics and Gaming — Local services in Town of Brookhaven

Visited for the first time to play commander on Saturday as I was told it was their casual night. The atmosphere was clean and the staff and other players were friendly. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning.

Even though it was explained that Saturday was the more casual night for commander it still was relatively competitive as they operate it in a tournament style so if you're a newer player with a precon, it's gonna be a bit more challenging as people are playing for prizes and the entry fee doesn't at least get you a pack like other stores, plus one of the employees kept mentioning something about the fee being a minimum purchase which was weird like they were trying to compel me to spend more even though i already bought some boosters.

Clean. Organized. Friendly.

A well rounded hobby shop with friendly staff who are knowledgeable in their trade. The display case is well organized, and their prices are reasonable. The bulk of their product upfront, and in the display case is Magic the Gathering, so if that's your hobby of choice you'll be pleased with what they have to offer.
