Places to Shop - Nonno 21

Nonno 21 is located near Nambu bus terminal a major transport hub in Seoul.

Their online store is www.nonno21.com

Like Hobby Plus I strongly suspect Nonno21 might be retail only. Certainly their website doesn't display magic very prominently.

Places to Shop - Hobby Plus

Located very close to Nambu bus terminal Hobby Plus is registered with Wizards for tournament play but don't really have the space for it. 
I am under the impression they just sell sealed product.

Their online store is http//www.hobby-plus.co.kr

Places to Play - PlayFirst, Goyang

Like DiveDice, Playfirst has an online presence and also doesn't have a space in its name.

It's also a little out in the sticks unless you are a resident of North Western Gyeonggi do.

They have both a Korean http//www.PlayFirst.co.kr and English http://www.playfirststore.com/ web store which is very impressive.

Places to Play - Battle City, Geumjeong

Geumjeong is on line 1 (the dark blue line) and also intersects with line 4 (light blue line). I guess that makes it regular blue?

Take exit 5 is the information I have. 

They looked to have changed address recently which made people think they had closed.

Places to Play - Duel Zone, Nowon

They have a large online store and seem to be a franchise.
http://www.duelzone.co.kr/

Nowon station is near the end (or start depending on your perspective) of the light blue line (line 4) and intersects with line 7.

Places to Play - Witches Brew Board Game Cafe

This store isn't a designated Magic shop but is registered with Wizards.
They might not be able to provide the same level of tournament or product support as some of the dedicated card stores but they do have one advantage over them.

The Brew part of witches brew stands for beer! 

They also look to take the cafe part a lot more seriously than most other stores.

They are located near Gyeongin University and Gyeong-in National University Subway stop. Sometimes referred to as Gyeongin Dae.

Places to Play - Taken Board Game Cafe

Wizards refer to this place as Tycoon rather than Taken. Just reading it in Hanguel leaves that open for interpretation.

Taken is not close to any subway stops and looks like it would require a bus/taxi ride on top if you are not in the area. The closest station is Jemulpo on the Incheon stretch of line 1 (the dark blue line) a couple of stations away from Juan station where Duel Land is located.

Their phone number is 032-864-3369 and email is ragenet7791@yahoo.co.kr

Unfortunately I don't have a map for them.

There FNM is standard (W10,000) and starts at 8:00 pm.

Places to Play - Duel Land Incheon

Duel Land is located near Juan (주안) station on line 1 (the dark blue line) of the Seoul Subway system. This is on the Incheon section of the line rather than the Sinchang line when the two branch of at Guro.

The map provided looks fairly decent. Take exit 4 and it is not that far. I have fallen for that trap before though so a picture of the street/store front would be nice.

Places to Play - About TCG

 About TCG is located near Sinpung station on line 7.

They have some pictures of Jace in their store and their website address is http://abouttcg.com

That is pretty much all I know about them.

Places to Play - Dive Dice Hyehwa

Edit: This store has changed ownership and has now been renamed too Red Dice


Not to be confused with their sister store Dive Dice Hongdae which I rate very highly.

I have heard some complaints about this store. Nothing that sounds like a deal breaker but it is probably amplified by the fact most Korean magic shops are awesome. I feel they always go out of their way to look after me at Dalmuti.

Dive Dice Hyehwa is located near Hyehwa station on the light blue line (line 4) in Northern Seoul. Sometimes this area is also referred to as Daehak Ro (대학로).

Get out at Exit 4 and then follow that road until you get to the main street and then turn right. 

It's easy to miss and walk past. It's signage is on the front of the building on the third floor and it shares the building with a Norae Bang which hogs most of the first floor signage.

Places to play - Duel Mall

Duel Mall is located in the city of Daejeon and is pretty big on Yugioh.
Their online store is http://duelshop.com/

Unfortunately the maps I have for this place are via the normal Korean Internet maze of flash and outdated explorer add ons so I can't post a much.

Places to Play - Alice

Alice is located in Gwangju famous for being the current residence of the 2nd best blog (the first being Expat Hell obviously) in Korea. The home of Via Korea seems to have multiple magic shops but the one with the biggest online presence is Alice.

They have their own cafe site (http://cafe.naver.com/kjmagic.cafe) and host regular FNM.

Places to Play - Michaels, Daegu

Located in Daegu so out of my comfort zone in regards to how the **** do you get there. 

I'm interested to know if these are related to the Michaels in Seoul or whether its just a strange coincidence.

Daegu has a facebook group named Magic the Gathering Daegu (https://www.facebook.com/groups/629348830410832/).

Places to Play - Card Castle

This store has it's own web store at http://cardcastle.co.kr

Edit: April 2014 - Apparently this store is moving to a new location and will ahve a new address soon.

Card Castle is in Changwon (near Busan) and accessible by bus.

Places to Play - Total TCG

Total TCG seems to be new to Magic and hosting FNM. They are also known as Dual Land or Hobby Hobby.
They are located in Gwangmyeong which is on the dark blue line (line 1). It has it's own station but it is branched of from the main line similar to stations like Sadongtan. Have a look at the subway map and you will instantly understand what I am saying. 
On their cafe website http://cafe.naver.com/gwangdualland/654 they have fantastic directions which are a real cut above the regular not to scale pretty looking map most stores give you.

Take exit 3, walk through some sort of mini park with a huge horse statue looming large over it. And then...... just look at their website since it does a much better job and I can't copy their photos.

Places to Play - Saboten Store

Now that I am comfortably a regular at Dalmuti in Suwon I don't see myself travelling to different stores which are all further away in the foreseeable future.

So this entry is about a store which I haven't been to so I am sorry for any inaccuracies but I thought I would put the information out there and if something is wrong it hopefully gets corrected.

Saboten has there own website http://sabostore.com/ which is covered with pics of anime girls. I'm guessing there will be a lot of Sword girls stuff in the trading card section.

They are located near Sadang Station which is where the light blue line (line 4) and line 2 intersect.

Judging from the map I'm guessing you take exit 10 or 11 and then ..... good luck.

FNM is a draft starting at 7:30pm on a Friday.
