GRUUUL SMAAAASSSHHHHHHWell, this is my attempt at a half-decent gruul deck. I have loved gruul since I first learned what it was and this is my second attempt at a 60-card standard gruul deck. Part of the reason that I made this deck is because I love burning-tree shenanigans and blasting out several creatures for 2 mana.
CARD BY CARD REASONINGS
Stomping Ground
Pretty obvious, I know that I need more.
Rakdos Cackler
I think that he is a very strong 1 drop creature. He can come in as a 2/2 turn one, or can act as a 1/1 chump blocker if it comes to it.
Legion Loyalist
Haste is super cool. Also his battalion is strong as hell.
Lightning Mauler
Haste really is super cool. And what's not to love about turn 2 burning-tree emissary into a lightning mauler, bond them, and swing for 4.
Flinthoof Boar
He is almost always a 3/3 in my deck, sometimes with haste. Just a very strong gruul creature.
Burning-Tree Emissary
Love it love it love it. Helps me mana fix if im only getting one color and need to get a Boar or a Mauler out. Otherwise its just like oh im gonna play this 2 mana cost spell, and get a 2/2 with it for free.
Boros Reckoner
Way too good to pass up, my deck is predominantly red so I dont usually have too much trouble getting him out. That ability is toooo goooood.
Pyrewild Shaman
Almost a reusable giant growth, so damn useful, makes sure you can always get a creature so long as you're doing some damage.
Hellrider
A staple in any red aggro deck for obvious reasons.
Ghor-Clan Rampager
+4/+4 and trample for 2, and not on a weak creature if I want to summon him either.
Domri Rade
Can bring him right out to -2 and get rid of something, especially if I have a reckoner out. +1 is extra draw power that works just under 1/2 of the time with 28 creatures. If I get that -7 its game over.
Searing Spear
Good burn card, three easy damage. Can Emissary into it.
Pillar of Flame
Another good burn card, good turn 1 burn, can get rid of undying efficiently.
Clan Defiance
Can hit up to 3 targets. Very good if the game is dragging on and I need to burn some extra mana. Also, check out that art, its hella cool.
