Question regarding Rampang Green’s “choke the land” special
Main Post:
So ASoRG’s special ‘choke the earth with green’ states: “when invaders would ravage or build in land with your Sacred Site you may prevent it by destroying one of your Presence in that land.”
But, in tonight’s game, our invaders were going to ravage and subsequently build in the same lands (jungle and jungle, thanks stage 3 invaders). We were uncertain whether destroying a presence in a given jungle would prevent both the ravage and the build for that turn or just one of the two?
Top Comment:
It's once per action. You destroy a presence and it prevents the ravage, but then you only have one for the build and cannot do it again.
If you had 3 presence you could destroy 2 and stop both.
This is unlike Vital Strength of Earth's Year of Perfect Stillness, that prevents ALL invader actions.
Green only prevents 1 through it's special rule, but nothing is stopping it from doing so twice if they have the presence.
The best way to play around such situations is by using Green's presence to aggressively stop builds such that the ravage becomes easy to stop and clear with Dahan. Stopping Ravages is just preventing blight, not solving anything.
Stage 3 (against other adversaries than Prussia) represents the invaders escalating to your end. So if you don't have them somewhat under control or almost feared out by stage 3... things are looking bad.

What's up with Greenland?
Main Post:
I saw Greenland trending on Twitter in reference to Trump wanting to buy it. Would he even be able to do this? Also, why buy Greenland? Source

Answer:
There are rumours -- of varying degrees of legitimacy -- that Donald Trump has floated the idea of buying Greenland from Denmark. This wouldn't be the first time the USA had increased its territory by direct purchase (the Louisiana Purchase was a thing, after all), but it would be the first time it had happened in a long time. Reaction to the situation has been mixed, with some people saying it's outright crazy and others saying it makes at least some sense; it would increase the USA's claims to the Arctic, and would allow US exploitation of Greenland's natural resources, but whether Denmark is likely to sell -- and at what price, and what would happen to the current residents of Greenland (namely, whether it would become a state or a territory or something in between) -- are important questions that as yet have no answer...

Land Ramp (traditional green) vs Artifact ramp in EDH
Main Post:
I was having a conversation with a friend about the best way to ramp in edh, specifically in my 5 color Scion deck.
He argued that running a manarock heavy build was preferable to the traditional green ramp (skyshroud claim, explosive vegetation, cultivate/kodama's reach) as it was faster to get more mana. My counterargument was that the green ramp allows for more versatility in color fixing as well as the durability of only being taken out by targeted land hate, while artifacts can be removed by many common noncreature permanent removal spells (krosan grip, naturalize, beast within).
I was wondering what r/edh thought about this issue, do you prefer a mana rock heavy build or one that focuses more on green traditional ramp when playing a color intensive deck (assuming of course you have access to both, as in 5c or 3c w/ green)? Do you think the speed of artifacts makes up for their vulnerability, or does the fixing capability of green ramp appeal to you more, or do you have different reasons for one over another?
The scion deck in question if anyone cares: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ur-a-dragon-reborn/
Thanks for your input!

In general, I find green mana fixing to be much better, because as you mentioned, artifact hate is more prevalent than land hate, but it really all depends on what you are looking to do. I use both among my decks.
- 5 color decks pretty much require green mana fixing to get the proper colors out. In this case, I don't use mana rocks.
- Artifacts decks obviously will have mana rocks. Especially if they play Soulscour.
- Mass land destruction or Lockdown (Winter Orb) decks will use mana rocks.
