Undergrowth

Image
  What's up everyone!  Today I'll be reviewing one of the newest abilities Undergrowth. What is Undergrowth Undergrowth is an ability introduced in Guilds of Ravnica.  Undergrowth is a green/black ability that uses the number of creatures in your graveyard to do certain abilities such as lose life, gain life, get +1/+1 counters, and more! Some Examples: Kraul Foragers! A great card to help gain life in mid or later game. In a sacrifice deck, this could be an awesome saving grace when you might need life. Necrotic Wound is an Instant that was printed in Guilds of Ravnica. It targets a creature and deals -1/-1 counters and makes the creature weaker.

Lessons From A Commander Player: Refining

  Hello everyone! Today we will be discussing revising, and testing decks. These things are very important to be a good player.  Refining a deck For some people refining a deck is simple, and to other people, it’s not simple at all. Most decks have cards known as “Filler cards” these cards are just in the deck until you can get better cards to replace them. The easiest way to refine a deck is to find cards that don’t fit exactly the deck's purpose and replace those cards with cards that do fit the deck. For example, replace a vanilla creature like colossapede with a creature like Grunn, The lonely king. Go through all the cards in the deck and take out all the cards you have as options. From there, decide which you can keep, and which should be replaced. During this process, it is important that you also look at what the deck's focus is, for example, I have a graveyard deck so I know that my deck would be more creature heavy than everything else. However, if you are playing a ...

Ral Zerak

  Hello everyone, I am very excited to be doing this post today. This is my first history of a Planeswalker series.  I hope you all enjoy!  History Ral began as an expansion character in DOPT with UR spell deck. He didn’t get any background besides being an Izzet mage and walker.  From there he made his first debut in Return to Ravnica. He was one of the main characters in RtR.  Niv-Mizzet was researching Implicit Maze and was keeping the reasoning for the researching secret but made Ral head researcher on the case.  Implicit Maze Research The Implicit Maze was a failsafe for the guild. It was there to either restructure the guildpact or use the implicit power of the Supreme Verdict to essentially reset Ravnica by destroying Ravnica. Ral during his research came into conflict with the Golgari Guild searching for Leylines in their territory named the Undercity.  Ral, however, was not very diplomatic and ended up getting into a battle with some Golgari m...
