Rubblebelt Raider vs WIld Beastmaster
Deck Help forum

In a Gruul deck, would you guys suggest running Rubblebelt Raiders or Wild Beastmaster . The deck is pretty aggro so I'm curious if the Beastmaster would be better just because of the cheaper mana cost.
beastmaster can be a kill card if your deck has supporting creatures with it. It really depends on ur deck theme. If you are going full aggro R/G to utilize beastmaster, use mana elf, experiment one, burning-tree, flinthoof boar, to make the deadly swing on turn 3-4. Also adding pump spell like giant growth or bloodrush creatures. Raider is really good on its own but it is more like a mid-late game card

Depends on the deck. When I ran g/w humans, wild beastmaster was the bread and butter of the deck. It got to the point where people would leave the 4/2 doublestrike+trample alone in favor of making sure beastmaster doesn't take off. If you run buffs and enchantment, beastmaster, otherwise raiders all the way.

And be warned a well timed debuff to her power will give all your creatures a negative bonus instead and could wipe the board if you have only low toughness creatures.

That too, though I only had it happen once and it was a noobish player, but when it does happen, well I won't lie it's actually hilarious despite being on the receiving end.

If it's just a 1/1 most of the time then no, Beastmaster would suck. It's basically a 3 mana anthem that only works when attacking. Raiders is decent imo, especially if you can give it haste/trample.
