I've been thinking about constructing a Commander deck for each of the ten guilds of Ravnica, and I decided to start with the Gruul Clans. Around three-fourths of the cards in this deck are from one of the nine Ravnican expansions or from the Gruul Guild Kit, or else are very obviously from Ravnica despite being printed in another set, like Scab-Clan Berserker or Decimate. I still tried to restrict the remaining quarter, half of which are nonbasic lands, to cards that fit the theme of Gruul. Obviously, this deck will not be the most competitive, but it is my hope that it will have a decent amount of synergy and, most importantly, be reasonably balanced against other casual decks. I also left around a hundred cards that were cut from the final build in the Maybeboard section, so there's a lot of options if anyone wants to make the deck more competitive or remove all of the non-Ravnican cards.

If anyone's curious, this deck was made to comply with the deck-building constraints that my friends and I created, at least as of October 2021. As for the actual rules, a deck consists of 100 cards (including your commander) worth $1 or less, except 1 card can be worth up to $100, 5 additional cards can be worth up to $20, and as many as 20 other cards can be worth up to $5. In addition, a player can upgrade an extra card to $5/$20 for every 2 lands in that category. Use the TCGplayer market price for a card's cheapest variant when evaluating prices, except Sol Ring is considered to be worth $100.

Win Conditions: must reduce each of your opponents' life totals to zero, although this is made easier because of the various sources of recurring burn damage, such as Cindervines, Immolation Shaman, and the deck's commander Ruric Thar, the Unbowed.

Other EDH Guild Decks: The Simic Combine, The Izzet League, House Dimir, The Orzhov Syndicate, The Boros Legion, The Golgari Swarm, The Selesnya Conclave, The Azorius Senate
