Let’s see, MotG… MotG…

Huh, I think this entire shelf is full of MotG goods. Oh, and this side too. Wow, here as well… and over there…

……

Don’t tell me that MotG has been around since ancient times?

Oooh! Hachinoya-shi1, long time no see—well, it’s only been a few days!

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Ah, hello. You two are here as well.

So you’ve been visiting the shop on your own… are you enjoying the MotG life?

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Thanks to you, I’m really into it now. I even had a match with Tao this morning, and got to feel how strong an experienced Guardner is.

I thought I could aim for even greater heights… but I’m overwhelmed by the variety.

Hasuda Icon
Hasuda

Kazeyuki-shi, this may well be our time to shine!

Yukikaze Icon
Yukikaze

Yeah, you’re right, Hasuda-shi.

Nagi, you can leave this to us.

We’ll help you pick something that fits the deck I gave you.

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Ah, is that really alright?

Hasuda Icon
Hasuda

A new Guardner is a treasure in this community! We would be delighted to offer our support.

Nagi Icon
Nagi

What a welcoming community… I’ll be in your care, senpais.

Some time later.

If we want to cover the weaknesses in your deck… the ‘A Tale of Blossoms and Verdant Spring’ series might be a good choice.

Hasuda Icon
Hasuda

It’s a solid choice for any wood-deck user. I have no objections!

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Can I use any pack in this series?

Yukikaze Icon
Yukikaze

Yes, but the cards inside are random. Choose wisely so that you won’t have any regrets.

Hasuda Icon
Hasuda

It all comes down to luck, but if you manage to get some good cards, your deck should become quite strong!

Nagi Icon
Nagi

So it’s up to luck… I see.

…………

(There are two rows of ‘A Tale of Blossoms and Verdant Spring’ packs. Should I pick from the right or the left…)

(At times like these, I usually go for the right side, so should I pick from the left this time…?)

(But yesterday, at the bakery, the stuffed curry bread I chose from the left side didn’t have any filling at all. Maybe the right side is the safer bet. But—)

…I wonder, how do other people choose?

Hasuda Icon
Hasuda

Well, I can usually feel it in my soul. The pack of destiny is the one that shines before your eyes!

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Ohh, the one that shines…

Yukikaze Icon
Yukikaze

No matter what card comes out, there’s no doubt that it’s the destined one for you, Nagi.

So, if there’s one thing I can tell you… it’s to enjoy the moment of pulling the cards.

Nagi Icon
Nagi

The moment of pulling the cards…

I’ve taken your wise words to heart, great senpais. Then…
