As someone else who also didn't get to go to Regionals I feel your pain buddy. My locals gets 3 people consistantly and varies the amount from there, the store manager keeps all the current sets and has prizes to give out so I can at least thank him for that.

If you are really feeling down because of a lack of variety in your duels look to some of the online ways to play, either those sites that emulate it or even over skype or google hangouts. It can be a great way to keep things fresh and come up with new ideas.

As for what to do with your locals, just keep at it. Be patient with newer players and try your best to assist others in their own games. Get friends of friends to come try it out. Run demos of it for people during times that other games are running, between rounds or something.

The worst thing you can do is to just give up, not only for the game but your locals as well. Every locals needs that one guy that's really trying to keep a game going and pushing it.
