This is my take on an aggro/burn Gruul deck. I've tried to make a slightly different from everything else out there by using
Flamekin Harbinger
to tutor
Liege of the Tangle
and then cheat it into play for 3 mana using
Incandescent Soulstoke
. This not only hits hard very early on but also turns my lands into beats to finish opponent on the following turn.
I have played around with
Nova Chaser
as it is possible to hardcast him if I do not control an
Incandescent Soulstoke
but I found that he was removed very quickly this way. In comparison
Liege of the Tangle
is much harder to remove and I do not require him to stick around after he has dealt damage. Draw power would be beneficial for this deck and have tried Skullclamp but I found it to be too slow. I then tried Infiltration Lens and found the same thing so I opted for 3 x Bloodbriar, which gets pumped naturally by playing
Hellspark Elemental
, Ball Lightning and anything cheated in with
Incandescent Soulstoke
.
