"They bind us with their laws. We free ourselves with nature's fist." -Nikya of the Old Ways

Simple Strategy: Double your mana and let the gruul horde stomp your enemy into the dust.This deck was brought to you by Domri and his boars.

Rampant Growth, Farseek, Cultivate: Early game ramp to get Nikya faster

Rhythm of the Wild, Fires of Yavimaya, Colossal Majesty: Good enchantments to provide that extra oomph your horde needs. All have CMC <5 so they can be cast before Nikya.

Signal the Clans, Fauna Shaman, Mwonvuli Beast Tracker: Good for getting the exact creature effects you need for any given situation.

Zhur-Taa Druid, Somberwald Sage: Mana dorks, of course

Ulvenwald Tracker: Fighting is good! Violence solves gruul problems!

Domri, Chaos Bringer: The inspiration for this deck. He does what he wants.

Polukranos, World Eater, Savageborn Hydra: X costs work pretty well when your mana is doubled.
