"Without looking at her, Chandra whispered, 'I love you too, you know.' Nissa whispered back, 'I love you, as well, Chandra.'"

I've been an avid follower of the Gruulfriends ship since it was first teased during the OGW expansion. Like many, I was upset by the Forsaken novel, and so built this as a sort of testament, as well as a deck-building challenge on myself. Could I make a Gruul control deck work?

The goal with this deck is not to win, but rather to bring a flavorful approach to deck building and being the friend of others at the table. The maybeboard lists possible flex spots within the deck, while the sideboard lists cards I had considered. Any recommendations on cards to remove or replace would be welcomed!
