First deck Gruul Mid
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 16, 2013, 5:12 a.m. by Wroy
Hello there,
Im some sort of newcomer that already drafted for a year. I finally have the feeling that i have some cards that can be used to make my first standard Deck.
After some testing i found out that my T1, T2 T3 are somewhat slow. I cant fight off als the aggro which have heard is the Meta at my FNM store.
Can any1 give me some tips or advice how to improve my deck to fight against Aggro en devotion blue?Any tips are welcome, since i dont have anyone in real life that can teach me deckbuilding or give me some tips. The local store closes fast after we are done with drafting and i only come there when im drafting.
My deck is called deck:gruul-bloodrushing-to-mid.
Thnx! :D
Very good start for a Gruul deck!
For early game as you move to midrange I would recommend adding: 4x Sylvan Caryatid and Burning-Tree Emissary those 2 drops will help you ramp and block.
Depending on budget..i would add 4x Stomping Ground , 2-3 Domri Rade and another Xenagos, The Reveler would be awesome.
Also green/red take advantage of some very strong 4-5drops. I would look into guys like Polukranos, World Eater and Arbor Colossus over some of your 7 drops.
i would consider removing: 2x Volcanic Geyser , 2x Giant Adephage , 2x Armed And Dangerous, 2x Madcap Skills , Clan Defiance and Vastwood Hydra

Hello xzavierx,Thanks for the compliment! And suggestions!
I am going to add 4x Sylvan Caryatid . instead of the Burning-Tree Emissary i add Kalonian Tusker .
I am definately on a budget but can afford some cards. So i have to pick between the shockland or the Planeswalker(s). Which do you recommend?
You are also right with my fatties. But these were the fatties i have laying around. Maybe i was blinded by the mythic logo.
I am not sure if i need to remove Clan Defiance and Madcap Skills i have the feeling that i dont have enough thread in the beginning or removal at the start.
Again, thank you for taking the time and observing my deck

YW, I def think the Sylvan Caryatid are great move. Here's a creature base you can try building off of if you want to avoid going expensive on adding PW's and 4shocks / 4scry lands. You may also want to consider Warriors' Lesson . Its a strong draw mechanic in this deck if you want to avoid getting Domri Rade
3 Arbor Colossus
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Elvish Mystic
1 Mistcutter Hydra
4 Polukranos, World Eater
1 Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
4 Sylvan Caryatid
2 Voyaging Satyr
4 Ghor-Clan Rampager
2 Kalonian Hydra
