Started as cheap 60$ build shortly after C14 release. Our game plan is as simple as any Gruul member's mind- we ramp as hard as we can to play big Xenagos followed by the fattest thing you can turn after with restriced use of our utility lands if our opponents haven't used they land dissruption yet.

It's not fully optimised, missing tutors, library manipulators etc. However after it smashes someone's face it'll be high priority target with removal constantly being used. Games where Elspeth Tirel ulted more than 4 times because the players needed the board constantly wiped from fatties., aren't such a rare sight. Increase in colored mana rocks might be in need in case of Contamination etc.

Explanation of some card choices:

-Hammer of Purphoros: because i hate Song of Drayds and my meta likes to troll me with it, also provides fuel later in game

-spot enchantment removal: as above with the Song, and Contamination is really popular in my black centred meta with Bonds of Mortality being tech card against Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and the God-commanders in general when they manifest as creatures

-Sarkhan's Triumph: Them dragons yo, when we can go for semi-lethal with Atarka, World Render or to combo with Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw you get the drigg by now...

"Why not X":

The sideboard are my choices if I know who I am going to play against. Hydra Omnivore as good as it it it puts giant target marker on us for threatening the board. Expect to get your creatures to eat removal turn after turn because sad combo-control players can't race you in the face game SMOrc.

Other possible commanders from the deck:

-Ruric Thar, the Unbowed: I don't really like him but can work with this shell.

-Dragonlord Atarka and Atarka, World Render: Not enough of dragons for tribal and too clunky for them

-Mina and Denn, Wildborn: That ramp tho, I consider switching them in Xeny's place as they're a bit faster than him, and provide bonus value for Omnath while giving trample

-Omnath, Locus of Rage: not enough ramp to make it consistent and start killing with elementals or wacky combos with sacing creatures/lands.
