TITLE: Gruul is the guild that lives for combat! If you love turning creatures sideways and messing with combat math, this is YOUR DECK.
STYLE: Aggro w/ midrange elements

I made this deck on a whim, because I had the cards for it and wanted to give the bloodrush keyword a try. Putting together the deck proved to be really cheap, and some of these cards are stone cold nuts! I'm not an aggro player, but I gotta say this deck is loads of fun. Aggro doesn't have to be one dimensional either, just check out the Power Plays section for more.

This is not a balls to the walls aggro deck. It's more complex and has a light sprinkle of midrange. Note the 23 land count, as excess lands are not a bad thing. Several cards like lots of lands, and you can also animate them into beaters with Skarrg Guildmage. The plan is to curve out nicely using your undercosted beaters, then start applying increasing pressure the opponent can't answer, because of bloodrush constantly messing with the combat math. The deck also employs versatile cards such as Mugging and Gruul Charm. Excess lands? Go big with overloaded Mizzium Mortars or Clan Defiance.

I wanted to add something special about this build. Gruul cards are pretty cheap, and as such notice there was excess budget to make the manabase better than your normal 4x guildgate framework. Only three duals are run, and one of them is a checkland.

POWER PLAYS:
1) Wild Beastmaster + Bloodrush - Bloodrush her once she attacks, then reap huge pumps for your entire team! Ridiculous!
2) Excess Lands + Clan Defiance or Mizzium Mortars - GO BIG in the midgame!
3) Skarrg Guildmage + Bloodrush - Chump blockers are a problem at times, so you bloodrush then tap 2 for trample, who cares if they block now?
