We're finally approaching the date! There's supposed to be EDH tournaments happening throughout the week, anyone interested in practice/testing beforehand or just hanging out with a few games? I will be going with a bunch of casuals so I was hoping this thread could evolve into somewhat of a hub for us to get some games started with each other.

I will be there on maybe wed fo sho thurs. look for the mustached gentelman with a cap or blond wig.
Will do
I'm in a red shirt most likely with a girl wearing white/blue, in the MTG area now
I'll be there starting Thursday morning. I signed up for the commander cabanas on Friday and Saturday night but will be looking for pickup games all weekend.
I only just learned about the cabanas, I couldn't find them on the event list but the place running it emailed me a list of times. I'll be available around half of Thursday for pickup games.
Edit: checked again and found them listed
I'm down. I'll be there all week and I have yet to foray into cEDH beyond 75% decks, so I'll need all the help I can get.
Last year is was a mix of noncompetitive/casual players with a few people running some Ad Nauseum based decks that I'd hesitate to say were 75 percent
Very good to know, thank you.
Gen Con's description for the pickup games describe awarding points to players that 'had the most impact,' so I plan on bringing a few decks and just asking how serious the table wants to be.
Can anyone attest to whether Commander Cabana or pickup games are more enjoyable?
Honestly, last year Cabana wasn't enjoyable because they wouldn't even separate pods very well. Obvious husband and wife? Same Pod. Three guys sitting together before the pods? Oh just stay where you are seated we'll grab one person and sit them down with you. My playgroup decided not to do EDH because Past Times just didnt seem take it seriously.
That does sound disappointing but I think with the prize structure of a cabana they try to discourage ONLY cutthroat decks from showing up, so it sounds like it's not as serious as you or I would want. I'm going with my gf and I know she doesn't want to play against randos without me so that may be a bonus.
Excellent, I'm new to the format myself so I'm in the same boat as you.

Maybe, I might start a game after I find tickets
Hey I'm by the main entrance if you're still here

I was wandering for a while and never found you, so let's take a raincheck for another time.
I was at the front where the tables were, Capitol Ave. I'm in the MTG hall now
I'll be there Friday to play with randoms whenever. I'm not that competitive but I'm interested in learning.
At gencon now, in the magic area, ready to play
I'm in the red shirt playing with 4 others near the back
Hey you're at the 10pm Friday event? Which one are you
Holy crap I should have checked this again. I spent most of my day sitting at the back of the magic tables. And at that cool stuff kiosk next to it trying to find more cards for my decks. I actually did not end up getting to play one friggin game. But tomorrow. I will be their again perhaps after one more paroosle of the exabition hall. i NEEd shadow born apostles!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be there on saturday with teferi and yisan. Registered for the 1pm cabana. If anyone wants to meet up for cedh games I'd be down! If not I'll be enduring the salt in on demand pods.
Sitting at table 18
I plan to be on being there. I might not get around to much EDH, but I'll keep an open mind.
I didn't plan much Thursday just to play Magic haha.
