Spoiler for Phase 1:

Spoiler for Writing - Nature Documentary:

Here we are today roaming through these jungles with large plants, little sun trickling through the leaves, and lots of dripping water everywhere. Our first stop will be looking at the mighty hornicus amphibius, or more commnly known as the horned frog. As you can see it enjoys splashing in the waters edge, so that it can easily have multiple escape routes should any of it's predators appear. Theses courageous little fighters will easily be picked off if signled out, but can pose a mighty threat if in a pack. They mainly eat fireflies and dragonflies that wander too close to these ponding areas. Some of the predators that will attack these frogs include the ever hungry otyugh who loves to snack on these delicate little creatures, occasionally an abyss crawler will rise from the depths of the lakes or pnds to gobble up hordes of these frogs.

Another creature that we will be observing today is the leaficus spiniforous or widely known as the forest scorpion, a small little eight legged creepy crawling creature that scours the jungle floors looking for scraps of food wherever it goes. Some may not know this bu the forest scorpion is the scavenger of the jungle, it will will hide in the shadows of the leafy plants for the right moment to sting its prey. hen it will wait then out until the prey has died and it can slowly eat its miniaturized hearts content.  These little guys have been seen to take down entire flocks of cockatrices, and there have even been reports of a herd of jade dragons falling victim to the scorpions.

This was a very strong deck played by Mr Muffin during the trials final it was used in. With the bans that he and his opponent had in place, it was a fast and effective  deck with few counters in place. One of the biggests drawbacks that could possibly counter it are AoE cards. AoE cards are most effective in control type decks, and life does not specialize in a large number of control type decks as it excels best in rush with its fast paced creature attacks or production and stalls with its numerous healing opportunities. Muffins opponent, mathman, has also not shown much usage of AoE in his previous trials decks and muffin may have taken that knowledge and utilized it here hoping mathman hadn't yet learned from his mistakes to effectively AoE strong wide decks like this. With the upgrades distributed as currently shown, this deck can average 5-6 turns to a win which can be very challeneging for an opponent to set up any type of stall or control deck it faces.
