GAARA'S FAST DRUID: Focusing On Ramping Up For An Early Win

INTRODUCTION Aside from introducing his "Nightmare Hunter" deck a few days back, Gaara is also discussing about a different kind of Druid deck, one that still aims for mana acceleration, but replaces some of the ramp deck staples that can provide defense and offense in the late game for an advantage in the early game.
