Comments welcome.

This is my standard Gruul midrange deck. It counts on being able to take a bit of a beating in the first three turns before stabilizing. Super aggro decks are tough, but I've been successful facing most major standard decks and a couple modern decks. The concern I have is being a little light in 1-drops, but right now in my local meta it's not that much of a concern. I sweep with Mizziums and spot kill with Magma Jet to keep ahead of the race.

Now before the "You need to run 4 of Xxxxx" comments come out, please keep in mind that I am pulling from my own cards. I don't remember to separate loaner cards very well and would hate to accidentally lose/damage someone's pricey card.

I've considered the contents of the maybeboard. If I ran Ruric Thar I'd go strictly creatures and run devotion. Ex-1 might still go in and replace some 3-drops. B-T E I'd want to pair with Ruric Thar. The raiders would follow B-T E but I know the synergy with Kalonian Hydra can't be missed.
