The D.C. Meta is a group of competitive and casual AGOT players who span the greater Washington D.C. area, including the suburbs in Maryland and Virginia. We're a friendly bunch when playing amongst ourselves, and some members of our group travel whenever possible to AGOT tournaments around the country and consistently place at the top of the pack. New players (or old returning players) should shoot me an email if interested in meeting up with us to play.

Annual D.C. Regional Championship
Each year since 2010 the D.C. Meta has hosted a regional championship tournament attended by AGOT players from up and down the East Coast and other parts of the country. The most recent, held at Labyrinth Games in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in May, 2012, was attended by 27 players representing D.C., Baltimore, Pennsylvania, NYC, Boston, and Florida. The championship title was taken down by Derek Shoemaker from State College, PA playing a Stark/Knights of the Realm deck.
