This list is based on the popular Ruric Thar, Your Heart is a Muscle list and this list from Casually Competitive YouTube channel.

The name is a reference to the Ramshackle Glory song, "Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of your Fist."

The game plan is the same. Disrupt and combo off.

Win lines: 1) Tooth and Nail, entwined 2) Kiki Jiki + Hyrax Tower Scout or Zealous Conscripts 3) Splinter Twin + Hyrax Tower Scout or Zealous Conscripts 4) Splinter Twin + Goblin Sharpshooter + 1/1 Creature 5) Shaman of Forgotten Ways + enough creatures and mana 6) Ruric Thar, the Unbowed + Possibility Storm

This build runs a little more lands than the Casually Competitive Deck and less Mass Land Destruction because my playgroup leans on competitive but a little casual. Ruination and Boil are ok, but not Jokulhaups and Decree of Annihilation.
