The schedule for this week’s Ragnarok X: The Next Generation KVM battle started Tuesday night and so I was able to join our guild party. The problem is we lacked a High-priest or event just a Priest for support and it really mattered during our matches. It became relevant as we relied only on our food buffs and PVP potions to recover from the damage dealt by the opposing guilds.

Last Saturday we saw finally an activity in our local Magic: the Gathering Iloilo community. That is because we were finally able to hold our tournament via the Magic Arena platform.

What is Magic: the Gathering Red-Green Gruul’s deck main theme? To smash with huge, hasty creatures to end opponents as soon as possible. Placing it into the paper, a deck with creatures that get pumped with their Landfall ability. Sure they are fast to kill but how are they resilient to spot removal? They are not. They are easily picked off even by Shock or a ping effect. The deck needs to evolve and here we have an updated list with ETB (Enters the Battlefield) abilities while maintaining a fatty power/toughness.
