It's pretty obvious, no...? —April 25, 2015

Well guys, I think that it's fairly obvious. Let's make this loud. ONE HUNDRED UPVOTES!!!!!!!!! Pretty epic, considering that all of those were from one deckcycle a day and no additional advertising (well, except on j/c for the last vote :) ), but enough about me! The Store has national control over all competition. Nothing stands in it's path in the country. Next objective: International Control!! We are going for Europe, baby!

At this moment, the Overpriced Store has equally hired one more part-time employee, War's Toll, to stop certain "burn" and other annoying competitors. And with Sphere of Safety, you can either cast one spell or attack in one turn, not both! A whole new level of taxing!

Last update, we have a new branch opening. It does take some liberties when it comes to the style, but the flavor is forever there. Say hello TO THIS BAD BOY by 6tennis!!

Soooooooo, this took me a while, but here we go.

Welp, it's been quite the adventure :) But I don't intend stopping here. LET THE OVERPRICED STORE RULE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha this is hilarious, +1! Maybe Suppression Field because of the previously mentioned taxes. Though that would be more of a SB option.

Lol that one land is double the price of the deck. Over double actually xD

I would suggest going budget on your lands and getting Plateau instead :P

oh

wow

K. Then, let's do some searching.

On Kataki, War's Wage: there is Energy Flux, but that is blue...

+1 for the awesomeness!

March 31, 2015 5:48 p.m.

JLenzen Definitely going to be considered! Thanks!

6tennis I now really feel stupid. Absolutely going in. Thanks man!

Nefferean and InDirectX There's already a budget version of this deck, but I have purposefully tried not to use too many of the ridiculous vintage cards because I feel like they might alter the original idea behind this deck. Thanks though guys!

Jaceblue12 This DID use to be Jeskai colors, but I decided that just that it didn't work. If it were ever blue, that would definitely be sideboard, but I'm going to try and stick with this for now. Thanks!

Im rather confused about this. Doesn't Karma do damage to each player = to the number of swamps that player controls. So why do you have that in the mainboard? And even more so, Urborg kinda deals even more damage to you .-.

Saberxbro says... #10

Nevermind got it, Urborg makes everything a swamp, and you can't take damage on your turn because of Personal Sanctuary

One possible way to fix the early game would be Ghostly Prison. Not as potent as Sphere of Safety but it costs 2 less and has a similar effect earlier. Maybe take 2 Sphere of Safety's out and put in 2 Ghostly Prisons instead?

As I side note I would not put any of the circles of protections in, I think that this may be a more elegant solution because you would need 1+ circles for each of the major colors, but it costs 1 more mana than the circles. So really I guess it whichever ones fits better in the deck.

April 4, 2015 6:58 p.m.

Saberxbro Yup.

Coinman1863 You know I've been thinking about that change for a while, but what usually happens is that against aggro I get down to about 5 life and then I slap down Sphere. And than they can't attack because it will kill them before they deal me damage.

Coinman1863 says... #13

Exactly, which is why I suggested having 2 of both the Prison and the Sphere which makes 4 enchantment attack inhibitors and still keeps the white mana symbol balance intact while having late game and early game options. Between the turn draw and the enlightened tutors you should be able to get whichever enchantment you need at the correct time.

wat

I made a comment

it even fits the deck lore

April 5, 2015 5:06 p.m.

InDirectX Sorry, the notification thing is terrible on my computer. Yup, it'll definitely find a place. I love it already!

I am sorry I doubted you, Master FAMOUSWATERMELON.

Yeah, I spent way too much time finding that card.

went through every card with "can't" in its title. of course, I had to specify not:flying etc. but it was still like 400 cards to sift through.

in other news, if anyone needs some group hate cards, I got em.

The Minister of Pain lives in the Citadel of Pain. Clearly.

April 7, 2015 9:59 p.m.

DERPLINGSUPREME Knowing you (sort of), I'll take that as a compliment :)

CYborghb Didn't see that, nice find man! For creatureless reasons, it's won't incorporate the deck, but that's definitely flavor!

First, I'm mildly sad since my Krenko deck could probably beat this before you put Pendrell Vale in.

Second, you really should reset the comments. Browsing this on mobile takes years.

April 7, 2015 11:35 p.m.

InDirectX Haha that remains to be seen. And for the comments, I don't usually reset them because people are bound to ask the same questions over and over. But if it's really that much of a problem, I can definitely clear them.
