Gruul Wins (Turn 3 GG) (Standard MTG Deck)

I was undecided between Flinthoof Boar or Strangleroot Geist as an added 2-drop to use in conjunction with Burning-Tree Emissary, but I found that Signal the Clans does an immensely more consistent job of of helping set your Wild Beastmaster combo up.

I would have liked to throw Rancor into this deck, but opted for Giant Growth instead because you can use it to pump up your Wild Beastmaster in response to an early Pillar of Flame if you haven't hexproofed it with Alpha Authority.

To be honest, I rarely use Pyrewild Shaman as either a pump OR a creature, but it's nice to have some insurance against board wipe. He can also be sideboarded out for Domri Rade which is good for using his Fight ability for removal after the combat phase when your dudes are all pumped up, or just use his +1 to get guys in your hand faster. He's also decent against control matchups.

THE REST OF THE SIDEBOARD Skylasher is there for control, obviously, as is Glaring Spotlight which also gives a nice Hexproof bonus to all your creatures.

Pithing Needle is there mainly for Jund and Planeswalkers.

Naturalize is good against token decks with pump/populate enchantments as well as control enchantments like Blind Obedience and Detention Sphere.

Gruul Charm because this deck has a huge weakness to flying. Also helps get your creatures back if any other red decks are using Traitorous Blood.

I'm toying with the idea of replacing Pyrewild Shaman with Traitorous Blood to steal a blocker and give myself an extra attacker for Wild Beastmaster to pump.

Let me know what you think!
