I'm curious if there are any fellow Ontarians here with good store recommendations, Our MTG group found a store in London, ON (L.A Mood) that offers preorder boxes at $100 ALL in (taxes inc.) Roughly a $20-30 in savings, these days we usually preorder 5-7 boxes at a release.
Does anyone have any good store recommendations (online works too)?
I love the local shop scene and if there are any store owners here, thanks for all the work guys.
Wait... isn't it longer then one year? like 15 months or something? Because isn't the OLD core valid in standard play until the first expansion in the newest block after the last core? IE about 3 months where both cores are legal?
Oh yeah, My bestow deck is black/white and is HEAVY on creature control for early game, saving for late game bestows.. it would give him some head aches for sure.
I guess it was just kind of a surprise how out of control it can get if you can't deal with them.
SO... recently my buddy broke MTG it seems. This deck was standard up until Theros, and all he needs to do is replace the Hydras with like mist cutters or something.
Using this combo:
Primordial Hydras
Corpsejack menace
Bioshift
Voeral of the Hull CLade
Master Biomancer
You can have THOUSANDS of +1+1 counters on the board in a VERY short time frame. The biggest issue is that OFFICIAL ruling states that corpsejack's trigger on creatures if counters are "PLACED" on the creature before they even enter the battle field (Master biomancer). and if you have multiple corpse jacks the effect stacks on of top each other.
for example, you had a 1 mana 1/1 creature come into play and you had a master biomancer and 2x corpse jacks in play, lets say the creature comes into play with 5 counters placed on it, corpsejack #1 would double to 10 counters then corpsejack #2 would double to 20, so now you have a 21/21 for 1 mana. Then you bio shifted for 1 mana to another creature, that would take 20 to 40 then 40 to 80 counters on that new creature. Then then bioshift again 80 to 160 and 160 to 320. You just got 320 counters in the field on a creature of your choice for 3 mana. it's broken as hell haha. Then that's not including a counter double from Voeral, which corpse jack's would also trigger from.
Any rulings here to make this all a little less crazy? Now we have yet to counter pick, I haven't played him in a while and all I told him was good luck keeping a creature in play, as I would counter pick creature control.
