Gate Ruler Set 4 | K-11 Dark Pact Dragon Genesis

We are back with a brand new Gate Ruler deck profile and today we have a doozy.

Gate Ruler Set 4 | O. 15 Bell Tolls and Defender Emerges

Hello everyone and welcome back to another exciting deck profile. Today, we are going to be reviewing an archetype that was poised to be a significant meta contender in set 3.

Gate Ruler Set 4 | O. 15 Martial Skill Arsenal

Hello and welcome back to another exciting Gate Ruler deck.

Quickly written off as the current 'joke' faction of the game, Exvaders experienced a bit of a resurgence last weekend when Canada ran two black-infused decklists in their matches against …

Gate Ruler Set 3 | T. 20 Zoo Brigade’s Juggernaut; The Rampage Continued
