‘PRolling’ Metal Gear Solid V:Ground Zeroesis a short game. After you have a good feel for what you’re doing, you can run it over and over, experimenting all the way. Eventually, you’ll know it like the back of your hand (assuming you know the back of your hand quite well). That’s when you may get creative and silly.

I went from unranked to Ultra Rank in a day on a 15-game winning streak and had the odd loss here and there. It’s incredible how effective one lone card can be. Still, with the Electric-type Oricorio deck, I have created a consistent deck that pulls into cards I need nearly all the time, and has cards that can draw and reset my hand at a moment’s notice....
