No aggro Gruul deck help
Standard forum
Posted on May 14, 2013, 7:39 a.m. by Linkdude74
See, I just recently opened my Dragon's maze box and was i a booster draft on the same night. I wound up getting two Ruric Thar, the Unbowed in my box(along with 7 of the other legend), and in the draft, my first pick was Ruric. I want to make a Ruric deck now for standard but not sure where to go with it. Can I get some suggestions that may spark some ideas? Thanks
Mana ramping for big creatures sounds like a job for Somberwald Sage . :)

I guess Jund midrange, but it has Sire Of Insanity , so maybe Naya Midrange?
4x Farseek
4x Huntmaster of the Fells Flip
4x Thragtusk
Something with that as a core?

you could jsut run sire and ruric play something to get rid of either/both atleast they take 6 damage if they havnt lost already since you have gotten both out.
btw if voice gets popular will Pillar of Flame start seeing mainboards again? dont hear alot bout that card anymore

No, I would not run Sire Of Insanity and Ruric in the same deck. Sire is simply much, much better vs control and I would run 4 Sires before the 1st Ruric - and I only want 3 Sires, max.

You definitely want to run only creatures and bloodrush as much as possible since Ruric would punish you for playing anything else. I'd also run some bigger creatures than Gruul normally runs. Wolfir Silverheart comes to mind. Also make sure you have a fair amount of trample to make Ruric even more deadly since they can't just chump block him. Skarrg Goliath is a great option as is Craterhoof Behemoth . Maybe you could run some mana accelerators like Arbor Elf and Zhur-Taa Druid . You just want to make sure you run a fair bit of mana, probably 23-24 and have some bombs to compensate for your lack of speed.
