This is basically what I'm going to be doing to my RG Aggro (also Landfall) deck once he Zendikar block rotates out, since it's my favorite to play because of its explosiveness, and the Gruul guild is all about the explosiveness.

Card Choices

Creatures

• Monastery Swiftspear- 1-drop 1/2 with Prowess and Haste. Seriously, what is there not to like about this card in an Aggro build?

• Scythe Leopard - Potentially a 1-drop 2/2, barring you can place a land next turn. Still an amazing card.

• Makindi Sliderunner - A potentially 4/3 with trample. Along side double strike is awesome.

• Reckless Bushwhacker- Basically a wincon or a huge output of damage with any 1-drop. He can be dead early game, however, so may have to experiment a bit more.

Instants and a Sorcery

• Atarka's Command- Bruh. No more words to describe this.

• Titan's Strength - Helps control draws and pumps your creatures, all for mana.

• Temur Battle Rage- Since 4+ power with Trample and Double Strike is totally fair!

• Lightning Bolt- If I had to explain this, our lord Thor would disapprove. One word, however: versatile.

• Mutagenic Growth- Extremely cheap pump spell

Budget

So I'm probably gonna be constantly improving on this deck, so unless it's absolutely necessary (not fetch lands though hahaha), I'd rather have cheaper cards on the $$ side.

So as for what tournament levels I want to win in with this deck, I'm gonna stick to my Modern tournaments at my local venue for now, maybe try out a more larger-scale tournament, but nothing too big.

As-is, the deck is running relatively smoothly, even without the fetch lands. Alas, advice is always appreciated on this deck!
