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.

20 & 30s Potluck Get Together

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/qApgOgBC9tfolj0mPjlo?utm_source=meetup&utm_content=b **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** ***You must register with Gist IRL App to participate in this event. Your Ticket is not valid without it. *** Hi friends, My name is Addie and I will be hosting an amazing Saturday Potluck get together to meet new friends!! Join me this evening to watch the sun go down over the bay while we dish up our favorite cultural foods and get a little competitive over board games. We'll start out with about an hour of quick app-guided chats to break the ice, and then we'll break into small groups to claim our spots on the grass and dig in. The Gist IRL app sets up short one-on-one rounds, matching you with other 20- and 30-somethings so you never have to guess who to approach next. Once the rounds are wrapped up, you'll pick the folks you had the best time chatting with. We'll spread out our blankets on the lawn to share those amazing cultural potluck dishes and play board games together through the rest of the evening. By the time the sun dips below the bay, you're gathered on a picnic blanket sharing homemade food and listening to some tunes with new friends. Whether this group becomes your regular sunset picnic and game crew or it's just one really beautiful evening by the water, I know we're going to have a great time. The Plan: - 5:00PM: Check-In. Just follow the link to get your quick profile set up on your phone. - 5:05PM - 6:25PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you up for focused chats. Find out who shares your cultural roots and favorite hometown dishes. - 6:25PM+: Form Groups & Picnic. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, find a spot on the lawn, unpack your potluck dishes, and start a board game together. Your group heads out onto the grass together tonight. Let's skip the routine where we just politely swap social handles and actually have a picnic right now. These folks might just become your go-to people for future park potlucks and sunset picnics. And if you want to keep the board game rivalry going, you can easily message everyone through the app later on without ever having to give out your real phone number. Grab your favorite dish and I'll see you on the lawn. A few favorite spots nearby: Lucca Delicatessen - A historic 1929 Italian deli famed for stacked specialty sandwiches, cured meats, artisan cheeses, and house-made antipasti for an effortless picnic spread. Marina Supermarket - A charming, independent neighborhood market ideal for grabbing fresh fruit, specialty dips, crackers, and chilled drinks on the way to the lawn. Square Pie Guys - A Ghirardelli Square favorite turning out thick, crispy-edged Detroit-style square pizzas that travel easily and are built for sharing with a group. SusieCakes - A cheerful all-American bakery known for scratch-made cupcakes, cookies, and homestyle cake slices that make an easy potluck dessert. The Original Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop - A historic waterfront staple just steps from the park for decadent hot fudge sundaes, shakes, and artisan chocolates. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/qApgOgBC9tfolj0mPjlo?utm_source=meetup&utm_content=b **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**

Life's Big Questions @ Dolores

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/hE7TpsNuitgLiotRHKLe?utm_source=meetup&utm_content=a **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** **This event is completely FREE** Hello fellow seekers, Here is the idea, plain and simple: one sunny afternoon in Dolores Park, a circle of thoughtful people, and the kind of conversation about life's big questions most of us almost never get to have. This is for people from all walks of life - devout, doubting, spiritual-but-not-religious, deconstructing, atheist, or just curious. Nobody is here to convert anybody. The only ask is that you come honest and stay curious. Most of us carry big questions we rarely say out loud. What do I actually believe, and how did I land there? What do I do with doubt? What makes a life meaningful? This afternoon is a space to say those things out loud, with people who genuinely want to hear them. How it works: We'll gather right in Dolores Park. For the first stretch of the afternoon, the Gist IRL app pairs you up for short, focused one-on-one conversations on the grass. You always know exactly who you are talking to next, so there is no wandering around wondering who to approach. That takes the pressure off and makes it surprisingly easy to skip the small talk and get straight to the meaningful stuff. Then the best part: When the rounds wrap up, you pick the people you clicked with, form a little group of 4 to 6, and walk from the park to a nearby bakery, coffee, or tea spot together to keep the conversation going. Everything on the list below is a short stroll away. By late afternoon you are sitting around a table with warm drinks, fresh pastries, and thoughtful people, talking openly about life, meaning, and what we each believe. Whether this becomes your monthly coffee and big-questions group or just a deeply refreshing weekend pause, I think you will leave feeling a little more grounded than when you arrived. The Plan: 1:00 PM - Check-in. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. Bring a blanket or something to sit on if you can - we'll have a few extras. 1:05 - 2:25 PM - One-on-one rounds. The app pairs you for short, focused chats about everyday life, purpose, and how you each see the world. 2:25 PM+ - Form groups of 4 to 6 with the people you clicked with, pick a nearby bakery, coffee, or tea spot, and walk over together - your group leaves together today. Instead of having one brief philosophical chat and trading contact info that never turns into an actual meetup, we grab pastries, coffee, and tea right away. You might just stumble into your new go-to people for bakery hunts, book clubs, and thoughtful Sunday walks. And when the afternoon wraps up, you can easily stay in touch with everyone through the app - no need to trade phone numbers. I can't wait to share a table and hear your stories. A few favorite spots nearby: Dolores Park Cafe - Directly across from the park, a relaxed neighborhood staple with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, fresh juices, organic teas, and light fare. Tartine Bakery - Just a block away, legendary for fresh sourdough, morning buns, and artisan coffee. Dandelion Chocolate - An airy bean-to-bar cafe with rich single-origin sipping chocolates, espresso drinks, and comfortable seating. Craftsman and Wolves - A sleek patisserie with inventive sweet and savory baked goods, specialty coffees, and teas. Stonemill Matcha - A tranquil spot on Valencia serving ceremonial-grade Kyoto matcha, roasted green teas, and Japanese-inspired pastries. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/hE7TpsNuitgLiotRHKLe?utm_source=meetup&utm_content=a **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
