3. Disclaimer: There is no right or wrong here. Everyone has feelings, and all feelings are valid. This is an attempt to encourage discussion. 
4. It seems like with each new set over the past few years green tends to get more and more powerful cards. I’ve heard many players argue maybe even too many good cards. 
   1. Let’s talk about Green in general here, for just a few minutes
5. What Green Does Well
   1. Ramp - playing against green can be hard due to other players ramping. You can feel left hopelessly behind when your opponent has twenty lands and you have a mere five.
