TCG shops to frequent for magic commander, magic standard and other TCGs

San Antonio resident here, I recently took a trip out of state and was brought to card stores to play commander and basically had a mini culture shock of how lively, full and varied the stores were. One store had everything I want to play as a TCG player (Pokemon, Magic, Hololive official card game, cookie run union arena, Weiß Shwarz, and yu-gi-oh) but here at home these stores that I have been to are rather dead or small.

Battlepub, rolling oaks mall. They have a no proxies rule and while I understand the reason I was told by the owner it feels as though it does push away near by budget players. They also are more war hammer and TTRPG focused, they open their MTG store (it's right next to the pub) way later than the main store

Alien worlds, San Pedro. My only issue here is the lack of tables, they have MTG and Pokemon, unsure about yugioh, but usually are out of Pokemon when I come in.

Multiverse games, Hildebrand. MTG and Pokemon focused, their parking are is a bit small and difficult for me. They have adorable cats tho <3

CP collectables, wonderland of Americans mall. Usually empty, I got a Japanese shiny sacred treasures noivern here but it's usually empty here

There are a few places locally that I've been considering, I would prefer close to the UTSA main campus but if there are any good and active stores I'd love to know, Ill be doing some major searching.
