Base deck taken from Tolarian CC's Ravnica remastered episode of Shuffle of and Play. Joey's Gruul deck.
Took the list from there - used a good many cards as they were in the collection then cut and swapped some things.

Notes: Keep 45 Lands total, swap out some of the higher $ cards. Maybe board contains first removals - try to keep it 1 to 1 for replacements. You will never have an opening hand with less than 3 lands and honestly you can keep if you have 7 in your opening hand. Just go with it Removed: 3 Damage multipliers(done), 3 draw(2 done), 1 Evasion?, 13 Lands(done), 1 Discard (2 done), 1 Other (Possibly Others), 4 Ramp Lands adjusted, possibly review again

Notes 2: Add in some red redirect spells and some green protection spells, swap out the damage multipliers for cheaper options, swap out card draw and advantage with cheaper options maybe add more, swap in lands with cheaper options, swap out the 4 way overpriced ramp options with cheaper, might need more artifact enchantment removal. Should I put more landfall threats in it?

Notes 3: Dropping: Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Lotus Cobra, Nissa who shakes the world, orcish lumberjack, cavalier of flame - 4 Ramp, 1 Discard - Switched Side and Maybe. Sideboard has all replacement cards, maybe has all cards formerly in the list. Regrowth? Made several other changes

Notes: Ordered missing cards, handful ended up being unavailable. Noticed that the deck was very light on creatures so decided to use creatures for all outstanding spots. Probably need to get back from 9 up to 12-13 creatures. Questioning orcish lumberjacks Dryad of Ilysian Grove and Oracle of Mul Dya, the red double damage creature, ruination rioter something else... IN: World Shaper, Llanowar Elves, Ramunap Excavator, Azusa Lost but Seeking, Augur of Autumn.
OUT: Demolition Field, Pair O' Dice lost, Regrowth, Dryad Greenseeker

9.9.24 First run: Loss. Its very slow but also needs more card draw

9.14.24 - Removing: Gruul Signet, Chef's Kiss, Adding: Soul's Majesty, Faithless Looting

9.16.24 Second run: Win. Popped off with a big opening hand, had 7 mana available on field by turn 2. Cast Bory turn 3 and was immediately removed. Protection is absolutely critical to the deck. Recast, removed again. Managed to have a protection in hand for the third removal. Fourth removal sent it back to hand. Immediate kill via land discard. Finished right after that turn via land discard + creeping renaissance. Mass land from graveyard to hand is also critical. Consider taking out dictate of the twin gods and replace with Torbran or similar creature that adds to damage rather than multiplies. Artist's talent snuck under the radar very well. Cindervines did plenty of work to drain as well.

9.19.24 Third run. Loss. Commander was out on turn two thanks to commander beacon. Removed on that turn around the table. Was able to reuse commander beacon by turn 4 and commander was removed again, this time followed up by a targeted removal of the beacon from graveyard. Managed to get commander out again by turn 6, once again removed that turn. Powerful but commander is too much of a threat, just gets obliterated. Need to focus on board state first so as not to draw too much attention. Possibly add even more card draw and/or protection. Might need some way to return all lands to hand from battlefield - take a look at older land spells. Swapped out skyshroud claim for seek the horizon. Swap out the damage multipliers for things like Torbran that add additional damage rather than double, etc. as this flies under the radar a bit better

9.22.24 - Dictate and furnace of wrath both on the list to replace. Swapping dictate for Torbran. Furnace probably get swapped for pyromancer's gauntlet. Grafted exoskeleton out for swiftfoot boots. Fitting in tectonic reformation and magmatic insight - taking out escape to the wilds and nissa's pilgrimage. Need room for Pair o Dice lost and surly badgersaur. Probably take out hull breach and Reap. Holy shit swap fog for Constant Mists, I don't know how I missed that one.

10.6.24 - Swapped in Pair o Dice lost, Surly badgersaur, pyromancer's gauntlets. Still need a copy of constant mists

10.19.24 - taking out utopia sprawl and Gaea's gift. Replace with lightning greaves and constant mists. Need to revisit cards. Only took out Gaea's gift and put mists in because lightning greaves were present already

Deck is very fun even though very susceptible to commander removal.
