So a few weeks back, Conspiracy started holding Thursday night Standard events. Has anyone here been to one yet? I've been meaning to make it out, but since Friday is generally stuff-is-due day, I haven't been able to yet.
(The same goes for Thursday night Nerd Club meetings in Musc prior to this.)
I'm thinking about making the trip on one of the last Thursdays of the year, but don't really want to waste my time going to a tournament that might not even happen. If anyone's been to one of these, what's the turnout like? I'm also curious about Standard at Comic Connection on Fridays, since I'd imagine the draft happening concurrently would cannibalize the Standard playerbase.

Umm Standard turnout at conspiracy is usually pretty good, we get a good 8-12 people most of the time. As for the other comic store, never been so I can't help you there but if you want to know anything about conspiracy, I go there almost every week

Awesome, I'll try to make it out next Thursday then. Thanks for the reply.

Comic Connection traditionally drafts on Fridays, so virtually no one comes expecting to play standard. They also have standard on most Saturday mornings with a 4-10 person turnout, need to check their calendar for when they schedule, for example this Saturday they have modern.

It seems it's been a while since anyone's posted in this thread but hopefully there's still some people interested in playing some competitive standard. Anyway I'm posting this in hopes of finding others who may be interested in joining me Thursday nights at Conspiracy Comics for just that. I also intend on driving there so I would be willing to pick up / drop off anyone within a reasonable distance should anyone want to join me.

Based on Conspiracy's event calendar, it doesn't even look like they do Standard Thursdays anymore, so I don't know how much luck you'll have.
It's really too bad since Comic Connection doesn't have much of a Standard scene and Conspiracy could easily fill in the gap, but the way they handle their business (and their prices) seems to drive prospective players away.

Well it seemed there was a Thursday night standard at Conspiracy Comics, however the turnout was never enough to have sanctioned games. However there is a 11:00 AM standard tournament on Saturdays at the comic connection which tends to have a pretty reasonable turnout from my experience.
I do agree with you on prices at the Comic Connection however. It seems to be the way of some of these mtg retailers. That's why I shop for cards at Conspiracy then play at Connection.
