This is my new Gruul Aggro build which I have recently started playing to great success, debuting with a 2nd Place finish at its first FNM. Gruul Monsters is the dominant deck right now in this particular color combination, but ironically this deck efficiently vanquished that build.

2nd place at FNM Debut.

Round 1: Bye

2-0 Win.

Round 2: Orzhov Aggro - Basically a White Weenie deck splashing black for Cartel Aristocrat and Desecration Demon, very similar to Paul Rietzl's Pro Tour Theros deck. Game 1 was easy, I curved out nicely with a play every turn, culminating in a lethal Ghor-Clan Rampager Bloodrush. Game 2 was almost exactly the same, he dropped a Desecration Demon but I overran him quickly with my haste creatures and the Rampager.

2-0 win.

Round 3: Gruul Midrange - A very powerful combination of hard-hitting haste creatures and lifegain via the new Courser of Kruphix and the classic Scavenging Ooze. I couldn't keep up with him. He went on to get 1st place.

0-2 Loss.

Round 4: Mono-White heroic lifegain - Against any other deck, he probably would have won, but my burn spells kept him from catching up to me in the race.

2-0 Win.

Round 5: Gruul Monsters - This guy spends absurd amounts of money on his decks, and usually brings a new one every week. I was almost positive that he was going to destroy me, but because he usually only had one creature on the board at a time, Burning-Tree Emissary into Firefist Striker killed him both games. Polukranos, World Eater isn't so useful when he can't block, now is he? Needless to say, he was not happy.

2-0 Win.

Overall, I took 2nd place and got 7 packs. I pulled great stuff, including Kiora, the Crashing Wavefoil and the aforementioned Courser of Kruphix. More updates after next FNM.
