Standard Theros + BNG Gruul Heroic Deck for when Bloodrush rotates out

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 27, 2014, 5:33 p.m. by Tomarhawk

Hi I have designed a Heroic Gruul Stnadard Theros + BNG Deck for when Bloodrush rotates. I realyl like the idea nad how quick counters can be gained.

I would like some thoughts and whether certain cards should be swapped out.

Where There's A Will, There's A Way (Heroic Gruul)

Thanks

Standard doesn't rotate until September/October with the release of the first set of the new block. It seems ill-advised to make a post-rotation deck now.

Especially considering that we still have 3 sets to be released until rotation. (BNG, JOU, and M15)

With respect its not that long away. What is wrong with future planning? and plus I just wanted an opinion on the deck, not on whether I am right or wrong about making a deck now.

also there is still no interaction between bloodrush and heroic, as one is an ability and the other requires SPELLS to play.

That's why I don't have bloodrush in the deck!

Should have left out the post rotation idea. Just call it a Gruul heroic deck.

Yeah I know right then people wouldn't comment on it. I wish I had now :)

I point it out because most of the time early "post-rotation" decks tend to be underpowered or awkward to design. It makes sense to use the best of what's available for as long as it's available. Shorting yourself on options so far in advance doesn't offer much benefit, especially because the meta changes with every release.

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you were aware. Quite a few players believe that Standard rotates with every release, so I thought it appropriate to address the possibility. If I knew more about Standard, I'd offer a comment on the deck itself.
