Finding Time to Playtest

I really don't playtest decks that much. I play a couple games with my Mom every few days, I go to league, occasionally play some games with friends online, and that's about it. I'm not really a fan of playing random opponents with people on PlayTCG or TCGO, but that's usually what I end up doing when a tournament roles around.

What do you guys do for testing? Do you have a Skype group and have "sessions" of playing different decks and lists? Do you go to someone's house for a few hours with a bunch of other people to test? Or do you just Profile Comment on all of your friends and acquaintances on PB until you find someone to play 1 or 2 games with, with no coordination on testing lists and such? If not, what do you do? Also, about how many games do you play per day?
 
Personally, I playtest on PlayTCG quite often. Like, 10 games a day (nearly). The reason for that is because I can't afford the best cards as other people do. So when I want to make a new deck I HAVE to make sure that I will be running that deck for sure.

Anyways, I playtest literally whenever I can then when I know what deck I want to make I make proxies and go to league to practice and trade (mainly to trade).
 
I don't test that much. The PTCGO is better formatted, so I do play on that, but I have to get the cards for decks, which is a nuisance, so if I don't have the cards, I don't usually test the deck outside of league.
