I want to throw lands

The gameplan is effectively to ramp constantly in the early game and burn creatures and opponents until everyone leaves the Gruul alone.

This decklist is tailored to my playgroup (there IS a guy named Taylor) and I like to give opportunities for my friends to do their thing. It's for this reason that I've kept cards like Grafted Exoskeleton and Triumph of the Hordes off, just because I don't feel like they make for a fun experience. I don't believe that the Gruul would respect such underhanded tactics ;)

Anyway, I love this deck. It might not be the strongest one out there but it IS a ton of fun to pilot. People like to see it, and we all have a good laugh when it does come out on top :)

THE CARDS

These are typically the cards you’re looking for

• Abundance + Keen Sense / Snake Umbra: Filters your deck to burn your friends

• Creeping Renaissance, Praetor's Counsel, Pair o' Dice Lost, Barrel Down Sokenzan: Will all end the game if Borborygmos is alive by like turn 8 or 10

• Exploration-type effects + Crucible of Worlds-type effects + Strip Mine: Not the most fun but you can lock your opponents out of the game

Ramp

What green does best ;)

• Circuitous Route, Blighted Woodland, Explosive Vegetation - Explosive Veggies :)
• Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Nissa's Pilgrimage - Ramp + Burn spell
• Exploration, Oracle of Mul Daya, Azusa, Lost but Seeking - Bonus land drops
• Far Wanderings
• Harrow, Sakura-Tribe Elder - Helps fill the grave
• Hour of Promise - Tutor for utility lands
• Khalni Gem - Can double as 2 lightning bolts
• Skyshroud Claim - the best ramp spell in green <3
• Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Sol Ring - cheap ramp
• Tireless Provisioner - Lotus Cobra but better as timing matters more in this deck

Card Draw

Can serve as a huge combo by the end as well

• Change of Fortune + Knollspine Dragon - Huge late-game combo + graveyard stuff. Might remove change of fortune though
• Keen Sense + Snake Umbra - Infinite combo with Abundance
• Tireless Tracker + Seer's Sundial - Somewhat expensive card draw but decent with all the ramp we have. I don’t like the Sundial though, might remove
• Sylvan Library - The best card filtering in green, can help draw in a pinch
• Wheel of Fortune - Proxy this card, y is it $500 USD? :(

The Landfill

Filling your hands with lands ;)

• Creeping Renaissance + Praetor's Counsel - High CMC Game-enders. The flashback is a smexy surprise if your friends forget it’s in the graveyard <3
• Life from the Loam - Graveyard shenanigans + Burn Spells
• Pair o' Dice Lost - Usually used as a huge burn spell, the other card you get is a bonus
• Rites of Spring - Also fills your grave - Might remove
• Seek the Horizon - 3G = Deal 9 Damage ;)
• Barrel Down Sokenzan - One of the funniest ways to end the game
• You Happen on a Glade
• Sylvan Scrying

Damage Enhancers

My favorite cards <3

• Illusionist's Bracers
• Brallin, Skyshark Rider   - Might remove
• Torbran, thane of redfell
• Dictate of the Twin Gods, Twinflame Tyrant, Fiery Emancipation, The Rollercrusher Ride - Damage multipliers

Removal

I tend to run less creature removal because Borborygmos Enraged is the best in class ;)

• Beast Within - Auto-include in pretty much every green deck
• Chaos Warp - Premier red removal
• Hull Breach
• Nature's Claim - Premier green removal
• Nylea's Intervention - Good at various game stages, can win outright with certain value engines/combos

Protection

The idea of Bobo struggling to wear his Lightning Greaves made me laugh

This deck can be a little overly dependent on Bobo staying online. Having protection is really important

• Lightning Greaves, Whispersilk Cloak - Be careful of shroud (nonbos with Asceticism + Keen Sense + Snake Umbra). The cloak opens up commander damage wins
• Asceticism, Yavimaya Hollow, Swiftfoot Boots, Snake Umbra - Hexproof and regeneration effects are awesome

Goodstuff // Value Engines

The most likely to be cut, except for the crucible effects. Those are kino ;)

• Crop Rotation - Early-game ramp. Mid-game I usually look for Strip Mine, Yavimaya Hollow, Arcane Lighthouse, Command Beacon depending on the board state
• Seismic Assault - Backup commander
• Storm Cauldron - disruption and big plays
• Walk-In Closet / Forgotten Cellar, Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator - Grave recursion, can combo with extra land effects + strip mine
• Basilisk Collar - The lifelink is really nice in creature-based pods
• Thought Vessel - I personally think that this is a necessary card in the deck
• Surly Badgersaur - Can burn creatures but usually acts as ramp
• Kessig Wolf Run - One of the funniest ways to end a player’s career <3
• Fabled Passage, Ghost Quarter, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Lotus Field, Strip Mine, Wooded Foothills - Synergize with graveyard + crucible effects
• Witch's Clinic - Can boost HP in a pinch
• Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - Turns your ramp spells into burn spells >:)

Final Notes

As EDH has grown, new cards have power-crept many older stuff out of rotation. But I don't really mind. If anything, that’s even more on-brand for a powerful Gruul commander of an ancient clan :)

This deck was a joy to build. For many lower power pods, I find this to be a fairly unique and fun commander to pilot. Hope you guys enjoy piloting/reading this as much as I did brewing it.
