Let’s make the Magic happen! Oh… you played a counter spell 😦
I will preface this with a warning that I am a bit bias towards The Zone. I partake in Magic pre-releases here. I have been coming here for a long time, actually. Back when I first got into Magic and his store was located in Creve Coeur, IL.
Moving on.
The Zone offers a wide variety of products. From comics, posters, figures/toys, trading cards (singles and sealed), Ultra Pro products, sleeves, and other odds/ends. I have played 3 Magic pre-releases there (so far) and the store owner, Scott, has been great at hosting it each time. He even helped me set up my DCI account right before the pre-release tournament was about to start.
You can pretty much throw any random question at Scott and he will have some knowledge about it and can help you out. Overall, a great store to visit if you need your Magic/comics/toys fix. Plus, Maurie’s Candies is right across...

First time I went there I showed my collection, and went good. Only things I didn’t like was how low he would pay for the card. Buying around 60-75% of market price. Couple times I went there and bought some 151 packs and I think $10 is a bit to high for each pack but I respect it. Because we both are trying to get the best price out of it. Overall I will keep...
