Gruul Aggro (Standard MTG Deck)

This is my original creation of a Gruul (red green) Aggro/Burn deck. It's mostly aggro but it has A LOT of reach in the form of burn and other incidental damage, especially Risk Factor . That card is one of the MVPs of this deck and it either does 8 points of damage or draws 6 cards. Both are devastating.

I have been testing it heavily for the past week and making tweaks, but so far it has been running over a lot of different decks. The damage is just too fast and it has too much reach. I am still tweaking the sideboard too.

I have Tibalt's Rager and Immolation Shaman in there to fill in a couple gaps because they were the only cards I had for the 2 slot. They can be replaced possibly....

The mana curve looks like its clogged on 3 and empty on 4, but there we have 3 copies of Domri for mana and also turn 4 is normally used to cast two 2 mana spells or one 1 mana and one 3 mana spell. Or for instance turn 4 you can cast Domri, add mana, and cast a 2 mana spell. So the mana curve IS slightly clogged at 3 BUT it works out better in playtesting than it looks on paper. Not to mention spells like Light Up the Stage are really meant to be cast for 1 mana....Just try it....

Playtest it and let me know what you think.
