Is the Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Voyaging Satyr combo worth it in this deck: There Is Nothing But Gruul!? I play tested it on here and it seemed to do fine, other than getting jus green or just red mana at times.

I'm sorry? I'm not quite following? It is pretty known I believe and it was the corner stone to makihito mihara's gruul monster deck. Top 8 at theros.

G/R Monsters plays neither Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or Voyaging Satyr . You guys are talking about G/R Devotion with Burning-Tree Emissary .

That's the direction I'm taking my deck. I'm making the transaction from monsters to devotion. So i should run it?

If you're going the devotion route then yeah you should.

Though keep in mind that there is a reason why Gruul originally shifted from the devotion route into Monsters... Untimely hand destruction and Bile Blight type removal can really hurt the deck.

Honestly, I think I'm just bored with monsters lol. I want to use the devotion mechanic. I appreciate the help. With that said, should I use Zhur-Taa Druid since I'm running xenagod?

If you are running the stock 8-12 mana dorks already (Sylvan Caryatid , Voyaging Satyr , and Elvish Mystic ), then I would say no. RG is much harder to get than 1G and he only taps for G (with a 1 dmg upside). If you need budget ramp for Sylvan, then sure. Zhur-Taa Druid can work. Otherwise, I would say no since you are already running up to a fifth of the deck as mana dorks in addition to the 24ish lands that you would already be running.

Erm...this is a known combo? It is the corner stone of the G/R monsters deck?
