Casual Net Gaming is both a Facebook group and a website full of Magic-themed content. The CNG Facebook Group (link on right-hand side) is a forum dedicated to Magic players of all different walks of life to discuss new cards, rulings questions, and anything that excites you about Magic: the Gathering. This Facebook forum is a welcoming community for new and experienced players alike.
The CNG blog at CasualNetGaming.com is dedicated to articles written for members of the CNG community. These articles generally encompass a multitude of different topics with a small emphasis on the current season's format. The blog was designed to both help and encourage new players to think about and play Magic on a higher level. As both an instructional tool and a way to facilitate new information to players, the blog intends to elicit both critical thinking and creativity.
Where did CNG come from? The CNG Facebook Group started as a small Magic community from Gainesville, Fl called 'MTG Casual Network' that was dedicated to networking with the Magic players in Alachua County in 2011. Since then, the network grew into a larger group full of Magic players across the entire state of Florida who's interests now vary from Pauper Cube all the way to the Modern format.
Now, CNG is a community that both specializes in casual and competitive Magic. Here you'll be able to meet Magic players and make many new friends. If you're seeking some serious competition, join our team as we travel for most Pro Tour Qualifiers and high level events held all over Florida. We have an open door policy, so all friendly Magic players are welcomed.
Now, what exactly is the CNG Limited Series? The CNG Limited Series is a tournament that we networked with Coliseum of Comics in Kissimmee, Fl to host on Saturday, March 23rd, 2013. The Limited Series is a tournament dedicated to Sealed and Draft. Since most Casual Players are not up-to-date with new cards and new decks from either cost or absence from the game, Limited is the best way to incorporate players both new and experienced to play on a high level of Magic playing. The tournament itself is located at:
3159 W. Vine St. Kissimmee, Fl 34741 at the Central Florida Gaming Center. Registration begins at 8:30am and the tournament fires at 11am. The winner will receive the CNG Limted Series: Gatecrash Trophy and one package of Commander's Arsenal (with additional prizes and raffle stuffs)
This first Limited Series's format is Gatecrash Sealed. Each participant will receive 6 booster packs of Gatecrash to build a 40 card minimum deck and use that deck to compete in the tournament. If our first Limited Series is successful, then we'll be able to continue hosting these events with nearly every Magic set that is released. Personally, I'm really excited for this tournament because Sealed is one of my favorite formats and playing Magic with the entire CNG community will be an amazing experience. I really do hope to see all of you out there!

I hope this brief walk-through gave you some insight into the mission and goals of Casual Net Gaming. I hope you enjoy the resources that CNG has to offer and you become part Team Casual Net soon. Until next time, Magic Players!
