 How Many Will You Get???

Innistrad Hold the Line Event Decks

Hold the Line:

• Low-cost creatures like Elite Vanguard and Champion of the Parish to pressure your opponent starting from the first turn, then suit up your creatures with Equipment to maintain your advantage into the midgame.
• It gives you plenty of ways to overcome opposing creatures. Being able to tap enemy creatures with Gideon's Lawkeeper and then sneak some damage through, or exile enemy creatures with Oblivion Ring and Fiend Hunter to clear potential blockers out of the way.
• Bonds of Faith is another fun removal spell. If your opponent doesn't have any creatures, though, you can always cast Bonds of Faith on one of your own creatures.

After sideboarding, you have access to answers for specific threats. Get rid of problematic red or black permanents with Celestial Purge. Use Nihil Spellbomb to end any graveyard-based shenanigans. Call on Suture Priest for a hefty life drain against creature-based decks. Blow up annoying artifacts and enchantments with Leonin Relic-Warder. Lastly, prevent problem cards from being played entirely with Nevermore!

There are multiple ways you could alter the deck to suit your own playing style. You could make the deck even more aggressive with more cards like Champion of the Parish and Elite Inquisitor. Alternatively, you could "go bigger" with larger if slightly slower creatures. Hero of Bladehold brings along an army whenever it attacks, and Mikaeus, the Lunarch can add +1/+1 counters to build that army to colossal size.

It's your choice if you choose to Hold The Line!

This year’s final 2 holiday tins keep giving you more value for your dollar than ever before, the tin includes:

•  5 booster packs of the year’s hottest sets (2 Storm of Ragnarok, 2 Extreme Victory, and 1 Generation Force)
•  1 Secret Rare Monster
•  1 Super Rare Solemn Warning Trap Card
•  3 more Super Rare variants of out-of-print cards.

"If you tried to get the contents of this tin separately, it would take you a lot of time and work. But to help celebrate the holiday season, and our upcoming 10th Anniversary, you can get it all in one place at a bargain price!"

The Number 10: Illumiknight Collectible Tin features another of the red-hot, black-framed Xyz Monsters. This shining knight of righteousness comes with 2400 Attack Points, and lets you get rid of unwanted cards in your hand, replacing them with fresh draws from your Deck! Number 10: Illumiknight is easy to Summon using the new cards in Photon Shockwave (releasing soon). Just a 2-card combo of Rescue Rabbit and Kagetokage gives you an instant Number 10: Illumiknight in a single turn! WOW!!!

Like the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon Collectible Tin, this tin also includes Solemn Warning, one of the most popular cards from the last year. This must-have tournament card is a permanent feature in almost every top-finishing Deck at major championships. Both tins also include 3 more Super Rare variant cards (different cards in each Tin, see list below).

Effect Veiler

Effect Veiler
During your opponent's Main Phase, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to select 1 face-up Effect Monster your opponent controls. Negate the effect(s) of that monster until the End Phase.

This card is very useful in this format due to the countless incidents of play ability. You can literally use it on anything your opponent throws at you whether its against Agent Deck's, or Samurai Deck's this is a must for any competitive player. Its also a level 1 tuner to help synchro those awesome cards in your Extra Deck. As well as being a Light target for Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Beginning.

This card comes in 3 Rarities: Ultimate Rare, Ultra Rare and just normal Rare. There is a lot of value if your think about obtaining one of these due to sheer usefulness and if you go Ultimate then prettiness as well. I feel every duelist should either main this or side, it is a must have.

With the launch of this set meant that players and collectors could officially purchase Innistrad Pre-Constructed Decks, Booster Packs and Fat Packs. At the Launch Party I attended at my local (Teddy'n'Me located at South Common Mall, Mississauga, Ontario) I was introduced to Innistrad for the 1st time.
