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!

Magic: The Gathering Innistrad Pre-Release

On Saturday September 24, 2011 marks an ever exciting day at the Innistrad Pre-Release! Here's some details about this very special event (held at Teddy'n'Me):

-$30 was the admit fee, it started at 11:00 am on Saturday September 24th
-Each admit came with six packs of the brand-new "Innistrad" set for the Magic the Gathering Trading Card Game, as well as an exclusive alternate art "Mayor of Avabruck/Howlpack Alpha" Transforming card from the set.

- Players had to use the contents of the six packs to build a 40-card deck to play in a Swiss-style tournament.

-Additional prize support was dependent on the number of entries received, but every player was able to leave with AT LEAST one additional pack of "Innistrad", just for playing!

Many players enjoyed being one of the first people around the city to be able to try these new cards with vampires, zombies, and werewolves from the newest Magic: The Gathering set: Innistrad.

At the end of the day everyone who came loved the new cards that gave a new twist to the game and the format.
