hey I was just wondering what every one thinks is the best removal for a gruul agro or midrange deck
Let's not forget our friend Pillar of Flame . Voice needs to be kept in check.

Ground Assault is bad for gruul aggro, because as an aggro deck you won't have too many lands on the board. On T4 you will have four lands out, and will want to wrap up the game by then, and that is when Ground Assault becomes decent. However, two colored mana for 2-4 damage isn't really so great.
If you were to do a more midrange-y build, then Ground Assault might be useful. However, being a sorcery really hurts it.

I would probably go with Searing Spear as well. Decently priced and instant speed.
Pillar of Flame is great against VoR, but Searing Spear is more of a catch-all (most)
MTG_Player says... #2
Searing Spear > Mizzium Mortars > Domri Rade (fight)
