I don't know why I had the idea to do a Gruul Madness deck a while ago, but I only just got the rough draft for one settled now. I actually managed to sketch this out surprisingly fast and it looks really fun. I highly doubt it's competitive, but it looks fun as hell. Right now it's very creature-centric and based around using Rootwalla and Mongrel for early aggression while the Mongrel and the rummagers (Goblin and Prophet) help support me getting out the 4/4 trampling Wurm twins for 3 mana. Then there's the madness burn spells to synergize with the discard outlets and get blockers out of the way. There's also a Jaya Ballard cameo so I can pay 1RR and discard Temper to bolt two things.

I have no idea what to do for a sideboard. I would assume ways to deal with artifacts and enchantments, which really shouldn't be a problem in Gruul. I'll probably want to find ones that flashback out of the graveyard, but there's always Destructive Revelry and other fun spells.

I threw the Taigas in because this deck is clearly only really legal in Legacy so if you need duals, you may as well go with the strictly best ones, but there's absolutely no reason why they can't be Sacred Foundries instead other than Taigas being better if you can afford them.

EDIT: I'll edit this deeper when I have time but I completely revamped the deck. It looks like a real Legacy deck now, in that it places blue and expensivr fetches and also a Jitte. But I imagine it's also a lot better now.

Now I have to change the name which is so damn frustrating.
