Borborygmos, Will it Burn!

Commander / EDH* RG (Gruul)

Green and Red, typically known for having big angry smashy things when combined. Here we go for a different approach. Burn, via land manipulation.

You want to ramp until Borborygmos Enraged hits the field. After that, use your mass amounts of land and tutors to get some key cards out. Crucible of Worlds lets you play all those instant speed free burn spells over and over again. Storm Cauldron brings them from the battlefield back to your hand. Horn of Greed to draw more fuel for the fire. Storm Cauldron has the added benefit of messing with your opponents land base, making them think twice about every play they make.

Once the deck is rolling, you can play up to about 7 lands each of your turns, and if burgeoning is out and your opponents are hitting their land drops, up to 4 on each opponents turn. This leads to a very quick diminishing of your library if you aren't careful.

If for some reason people aren't a fan of you chucking mountains and forests at their face (which lets be honest, who can blame them), the alternate wincon is whats typical of most gruul decks. Beat face. Between cards that allow for multiple combat steps a turn, Furnace of Rath/Dictacte of the Twin Gods, and Rage Reflection you can end up attacking just with Bobo himself for lethal commander damage a turn.
