Every so often I feel like playing a competitive game, check the local scene and find the same games. Sure, a couple new games come and go but the mainstays are always the same: CCGs and miniature skirmish games.
Interestingly enough it seems some likeminded players in the Magic: the Gathering community have created their own formats which sidestep the meta and business model. Cube, pauper, Commander (though competitive decks are also too expensive).

I guess deep down what I want is a stable, friendly playgroup of any sort.

There's also a lot of time involved in assembling a cube or deck for these formats... I appreciate that for some people that's part of the fun, but personally I prefer to express my creativity during the game, not before it starts. I want the designer to choose the components.

Absolutely, which is why Epic caught my eye. It's an affordable 4 player cube, but you can just separate the colors to get 4 decks. Since it doesn't (really) have a mana system/curve it's also easier to introduce players to drafting.
