Gruul devotion deck that I built to play since I was sick of losing to u/w control net decks. I built the decks main board around having a response to typical things that u/w control requires to win. For example, Destructive Revelry handles all those pesky Detention Spheres, and god weapons. Mistcutter Hydra is awesome as people never expect to see it pre board, and three Stormbreath Dragon always never cease to amaze. The deck mulligans great, and with 8 planeswalkers, I never seem to just run out of gas like a lot of aggro decks can.

As mentioned, This deck is built to beat control matchups. The biggest problems i've run into playing this deck are people who just have plenty of spot removal, Specifically mono black, golgari decks. Against other Aggro decks, Sylvan Caryatids and burning tree's help me ramp into late game, and slow down aggro decks until i can drop down a big body to make them scared.
