R/G Removal help. (standard)

Deck Help forum

I'm currently running 4 Fall of the Hammer in my Gruul aggro, because alongside my 2 Xenagos, God of Revels it does work really well. My question is, should I be running Gruul Charm mainboard or sideboard. Also, what are some other good removal cards in R/G in standard.

Definitely sideboard. If you're running into flyers or weenie decks alot then main.

Green doesn't do direct removal. Red has Searing Blood Lightning Strike Shock Magma Jet Anger of the Gods ...etc.

Pit Fight works well, as RG your creatures will hopefully be pretty big

Flesh / Blood is your best option. Ignore flesh, just read blood.

Depending on what your removing. Green has some nasty trick's. Magma Jet for the scry but Shredding Winds for flyers. Fall of the Hammer side board. I play gruul as well.

Yes Flesh / Blood should replace Fall of the Hammer for sure.

It's the same cost, same ability except it can targets players as well, making it much better despite losing instant speed.

I'd suggest looking at Clan Defiance and Ground Assault .

Is Plummet is better than Shredding Winds .

Plummet kills the flying creature outright, whilst Shredding Winds deals damage and costs more mana I.e one more turn to cast it/ slower than Plummet . Plummet is better.
