I would drop the two islands for two more mountains. I would also drop Barge In and Remand for 3x Lava Dart and +1 Stormwing Entity

I think that ways to increase your creature's power and give it trample could help too. Disrupt Decorum fits in perfectly if you don't mind it's price. Otherwise, Titanic Growth, Rancor, Barge In, and Crash Through are solid options. It could also be worth looking into making Marisi your commander for more consistent access to goad, but I'm not sure what you'd be able to replace black with. I really love the deck though!

multimedia on Zagras and the Dethtouch Party

Hey, you're welcome.

There's 12 rogues here for the party, but only 5 clerics, 4 Warriors and 1 Wizard. These ratios of party members will make it difficult to have much mana cost reduction for Zagras especially Wizards. My advice is make these numbers more even to give you more chances to have different party members on the battlefield at once. Changeling Outcast is a budget one drop party member who can be any creature type you choose for party and it's unblockable which has good interaction with several tribal combat damage effects.

Budget Wizards to consider adding:

There's some party members who could be upgraded to better budget creatures especially the Warriors:

Blood Beckoning could be upgraded to Nullpriest of Oblivion who is a two drop Cleric or if you cast with kicker you can reanimate any creature in your graveyard. Beckoning doesn't reanimate it recurs the creature/creatures to your hand which is a big difference. Searing Barrage could be upgraded to any Wizard party member because this removal spell is not needed as it's the least good and costs the most mana for what it does.

Some cards to consider cutting:

Pump spells that only pump one creature one time such as Infuriate are subpar in Commander especially when you can only cast them once. If the spell pumped all creatures you control, protected the creature from removal or it made the creature have huge power with evasion then that's different, but the pump spells here don't do that. More draw is more impactful than pump.

BRG24 Thanks for giving the deck a look! So with Season of Growth I think there is some good value there for the scry trigger with all the tokens dropping, but unfortunately since copied spells are not technically "cast" I dont think it would trigger any card draw after the first. Silverfur Partisan is definitely an interesting route to explore since it would grow exponentially.If there are some efficient wolf token generators, that might be a good thing to explore. I love Giant Growth, I think depending on the matchup, the trample from Barge In might be more helpful? I could go either way on that one. But now Stony Strength is a whole new ballgame. The untap on that would make for a pretty huge swing if the opponent attacks into your tapped out board. I'll start looking at the wolf generating, and if I can find something efficient it might be worth splashing green just for stony strength. Really awesome suggestions Thanks!

Barge In is a great new spell that will definitely help with commander damage.

Sorry I haven't been updating this deck as much anymore, I've been focusing more on an aggressive Black/White deck with creatures that gain +1/+1 counters when gaining life and another black/white token deck for arena. I haven't put either up here yet since I have been working out the wrinkles, but will probably add the lifegain one soon as the winrate is becoming better with recent changes.

Domri's Ambush is really nice and I should add them to this deck. Not sure off the top what I'd replace, potentially the Barge In though. The extra +1/+1 counters are always nice, and since it just deals damage vs having creatures fight it makes sure my creature is healthy for the combat phase.

Gruul Spellbreaker looks to fit the deck theme very well while being strong too. It has Riot and is non human to stack with Grumgully, the Generous and Rhythm of the Wild . Having trample makes sure I'll be able to do player damage even if they use sacrificial defenders. The hexproof then helps make sure I can make my attacks on my turn without the opponent being able to directly target for control spells or debuffs. I'll probably replace this with some of my mentions in the previous comment. Such as taking out one Grumgully, the Generous , a Gruul Guildgate and/or a Mountain , a Jaya's Greeting , and a Domri, Anarch of Bolas

The Clan Guildmage is a good card with those activated abilities, but it unfortunately crosses some barriers for this specific deck. Thematically I wanted to keep the deck clear of any Humans, but kept it just to actual creature types (Domri is a human right?). So from there I wanted to pivot the deck around cards that can leverage this restriction such as Grumgully, the Generous and Barge In .

At this point I think we may have peaked or nearly peaked the deck composition based on the requirements. It is a budget deck, maybe to the point it's even "cheap" for a budget deck at around $40 when overestimating costs a bit (even less if I dropped that Skarrgan Hellkite out since that is around 3-4 bucks). It uses a lot of creature with Riot naturally, and has multiple ways to add more riot stacks from Rhythm of the Wild and Domri, Chaos Bringer . It only uses cards that are currently standard legal, although when the sets rotate I'm not sure if I'll try to keep it standard legal or just keep it a ELD standard deck. Lastly there are no "Human" creature types (Rioting Against Humans was the name of the deck for a reason haha).

From this point I might be able to move a few cards around here and there to try and squeeze more power out of the deck, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far. It's cheap, and it runs a decent winrate playing casual (40%-50% estimate). I'm yearning to get myself a more powerful Gruul deck setup, removing my restrictions such as allowing humans and not trying to focus on Riot. I have a decent amount of Modern legal cards, but not a ton since I stopped playing for almost a decade until recently. I might work on a paper Gruul deck to leverage the Modern cards I have, and then another that is Standard for Arena play. Either way, there will be another Gruul deck in my profile in the near future haha.

So from playing in MTG arena it runs decently and if I get a good start with the cards for all parts of early, mid, and late game it runs real well. For example I'll be able to get 3 lands out on turn 2 by dropping a forest and Arboreal Grazer turn 1, then ideally a Gruul Guildgate or Rugged Highlands with the ability. Next turn I drop a mountain or forest and can drop Grumgully, the Generous or Rhythm of the Wild . Then turn 3 I drop another forest or mountain and can play Frenzied Arynx , with two sets of Riot or Riot plus a +1/+1. Then from there I just keep dropping land and planeswalkers as I can, and usually I am able to drop my Wrecking Beast and/or End-Raze Forerunners later to finish the game.

I've also noted Domri, Anarch of Bolas really really helps with early-mid game ramp+control. I'll have one or two creatures on the field but with his -2 ability to make creatures fight, I'm able to clear the field or keep the field equal between us while I continue to ramp up to late game.

I'm somewhat starting to feel the limits of Barge In too. As there will be times I have defenders and could successfully block without dying if I gave them the +2/+2, but since the spell only works on attackers I'm unable to do so. On the flip side though it does help me attack as expected. I've had some people try to sacrifice defenders mid game against my creatures without trample, and I can add this on after they already declared defenders. So basically it means I NEED to play aggressive where possible if I have them in my hand since I can't use them for defense. I might sideboard something else tough if I find I need to be on the defensive a lot more against a specific player in a tournament or bo3. This fits the theme of the deck though with riot allowing me to choose more aggression with Haste as needed early game, or use one of the riot stacks for haste late game.

In my arena deck I don't have Skarrgan Hellkite , so I just put in a 4th Frenzied Arynx and that has made sure I draw them more often. Something I 100% forgot though was that Grumgully, the Generous is a legendary creature. I've had a few games in Arena so far where I have two by mid game, and was worried I wouldn't have anything to drop when I emptied my hand out otherwise. Luckily (maybe?) so far they have targeted Grumgully, the Generous and killed him quickly. So in those cases I've been able to still play my other Grumgully, the Generous after the 1st is killed without waiting too long. With that though, I might look at removing one Grumgully, the Generous (to bring to a total of 3) to replace with the 4th Frenzied Arynx .
